There are a lot of people who will talk the talk, but not walk the talk.
Many people will refer to their honour, but at the same time will lie, cheat and steal if money is involved.
Sure, they will have their reasons and will justify their actions, but you can’t take “real” honour on and off like your jacket.
Either you are a man of honour, or you are not a man of honour. You can’t have it both ways.
Don’t be one of those people who talk about honour and character, but in the end really can’t live up to what they profess.
Living a life of honour is not always an easy path to walk. One of honour put their honour before their comfort or their convenience.
People who are talkers but not doers, put their comfort and convenience first and squeeze honour in when it is convenient for them to do so.
The true being should be one of honour and virtue. One should walk the walk, and leave the talk to others.
I live to my standards, no matter what the consequences. This should be our attitude toward our code of ethics - uncompromising resolve.
