Pay attention to the voice within.... Sometimes the voice of your conscience gets drowned out by crowd noise or by the pep rally of temptations. And your mind may put some selfish spin on the ball, rationalizing that it's okay to veer away from the ethical route. When we run into conflicts between ethical 'shoulds' and our selfish 'wants,' we all argure out ways to con our conscience. But take pains to listen, because it has your best interests at heart.
More Quotes from Price Pritchett:
We all faced painful ethical challenges before we even knew how to spell our names. There were tough choices. Tradeoffs. Confusing signals regarding how to live one's life. And here we are now, today, still struggling. Still trying to sort things out. Still trying to work our way through life effectively. About the only thing that has changed is the scope of the problem. There's more at stake now. And we're in a position, as grownups, to do a lot moregood or badfor ourselves, our organization, our world. But we still must wrestle with our imperfect ethics.Price Pritchett
