I very much like the thing about doing the right thing whether anyone else knows it or not.Yewtreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02028699564003381058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7611082749531307901.post-67268193724839228302011-10-17T13:59:57.959+01:002011-10-17T13:59:57.959+01:00Thanks Sue, a great post.

It fits the example and, in the story, is exactly where Garion learns integrity - through the example of his friend Durnik. I too strive for the right way. Corners are easily cut, especially in software development. However, there's the balance of "good enough" against striving for perfection. Often the aim should be for "good enough".<br /><br />Honesty, on the other hand, should never be compromised. Integrity is agreeing the standards with the customer first and the meeting or slightly exceeding them ( as long as it doesn't cost them more).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17783055352523115895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7611082749531307901.post-54351359098181652302011-10-12T12:46:53.698+01:002011-10-12T12:46:53.698+01:00Interesting but could do with a tl;dr at the top.
...Interesting but could do with a tl;dr at the top.<br /><br />To me, in this context, integrity means integrated into society. If one is a leech sucking the life out of a system/society/group/family from near the top of the hierarchy, ( or the bottom, this covers the overly needy weak as well as ponzi types ) then one has little integrity.<br /><br />Thanks Ray, thought provoking postAlternicityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08887830973366499098noreply@blogger.com
