My code of honour has tenets that I am not willing to part
with or break, that a set of standards which I live by.
My code of honour is an
absolute in my life.
Adapting to the circumstances doesn’t mean that I situational
ethics. It doesn’t mean that I picks and chooses when to live by and when not
to. , there is a time to take action and there is a time to wait.
There is a
time to speak up and a time to stay silent.
We must be wise enough to adapt not
live by absolutes such as never allowing someone to shove us without severe
consequences.
Certain situations may call to swallow our pride and walk away
from an insult, instead of responding to it in a more direct manner, in order
to accomplish our objective.
Know our objective in each situation and adapt
ourselves as needed to accomplish our objective without compromising our honour
or code of ethics.
Adapting yourself to the circumstances doesn't mean lowering
yourself to the circumstance.
