Integrity {Part II}


Question and answer on Integrity.

Presenter: We welcome Miss Adeyanju Opeoluwa life on BlogSpot. And today we’ll be taking integrity as a case study. Opeyanju, can you tell us what you refer to as integrity?

Opeyanju: I take integrity to be an undivided or unbroken completeness or totality with nothing wanting…WHOLENESS, UNITY.
Sometimes success, riches, wealth, prosperity, friends, challenges to mention a few will come and go and at some point may visit again but INTEGRITY stands.

PRESENTER: hmm, amazing. Any other idea on Integrity?

OPEYANJU: Well, I believe the integrity of an individual is his completeness. And by that I refer to every part of his life excluding nothing. It is a state of total obedience, holding on to your word at all times, having a quality of honesty with strong moral principles.

PRESENTER: That’s really captivating though, but the heart-breaking thing is that we do not live in a world of integrity anymore. Do you think we can still live a life of integrity?

OPEYANJU: A big yes goes to that.

PRESENTER: HOW can we do that?

OPEYANJU: I discovered that great people follow some integrity steps. Here are mine:

  1. Define your values: Know what you truly believe in, know what you stand for and where you are heading to.
  2. Analyze every choice you make: I believe at age 15 at most, we fully know our rights from our wrongs. We should learn to make the right choices in every issue we find before us and choose to be responsible for those choices. Be your personal judge.
  3. Encourage Integrity: Living a life of integrity will distinct us from the crowd because we have an uncommon character. A strong sense of self-esteem, unbeatable self-confidence and Humility are attitudes that will help greatly when under intense pressure to compromise. And these are attitudes that we should build in ourselves and also younger generations, making it our daily bread.

PRESENTER: I believe integrity is usually tested. What's your view on that?

OPEYANJU: Yes, it is usually tested by friends, relatives and close ones but mostly tested when no one is watching to know how solid and firm the person's integrity is.

PRESENTER: Thank you very much Miss Opeyanju, Can you round up on the topic integrity?

OPEYANJU: Okay, I conclude by saying, your integrity is what determines your reputation and as I have noticed, all it takes is a single bad choice to destroy a life’s time worth of integrity!

Finally, Remember honesty and integrity aren't values that you should live by when it's convenient but at all times.

Thank you.

    I have read all post on this blog and I must say this post goes down as one of my best post, the element of surprise and the new style just gave a new look and a better view, kudos to you on that.

    I got confused with miss ope's first comment on her reference to integrity, big words don't do it anymore not that there was any big word just that it could have been explained in simpler words so I advice simple words to easily pass messages to we d readers cos u can't well be sure who and who is reading d post, but integrity was further explained and described.

    I agree with all miss Ope's view and think God also or even life itself test our integrity. nice work.

    lastly on a lighter note are we sure it is miss ope or soon to be Mrs ope or already Mrs ope cos u done so well I think I should apply if it is still miss ope

Integrity (Part 1)

   Integrity    Very popular but less functional. Integrity is simply the state of being wholesome (i.e. sound and healthy, promoting moral and mental well-being) and unimpaired (i.e. not rendered less effective). Let's do a simple mental class. Give your own definition of integrity while I give mine. STATE-BEING OF SOUND AND HEALTHINESS/WHOLESOMENESS. Integrity is taking your first bath of the previous day around 12:30 am of a new day. STATE OF UNIMPAIRED. Integrity is starting a meeting by the set time regardless the number of people present so as to be able to meet the set closing time of that meeting On the other hand, Integrity is doing the right thing at the right time in the right place with the right materials with or without the right people to watch, supervise or judge. Are you a being of integrity? Do you keep to you words? Have you a firm Yes and a solid No? Do you compromise a little bit? Do you bend your values and standards to please oth...

Precious Stones

Precious Stones Hmmmmnnn…Precious stones What is the first thing that strikes your mind at the sight and sound of precious stones? Literally, a precious stone is a natural, beautiful, priceless, expensive, adorable and cherished stone. Examples of them are Diamond, Gold, sapphire, franchise; yeah we can mention hundreds of them nonstop. But come to think of it, can’t we humans refer to ourselves as precious stones and let our names be examples of such? Yes, very achievable! Friends, you can refer to yourself as a precious stone because you carry adorable stone(s) in you, so precious that nothing can destroy; a glittering stone brighter than diamond, an expensive stone costlier than gold, unaffordable to just anybody. What is that stone in you? Have you discovered that jewel in you? Do you know you have a precious talent? Your talent is your marked natural ability or skill.

Love Language

Love Language This is the way of expressing one's love feelings towards one's family, friend, spouse, girlfriend, or any other loved one Primary Language of Love: I refer to this as the best preferred way or act to express one's love to another person. Major Love Languages are: 1. Words of affirmation 2. Giving of gifts 3. Acts of service 4. Quality time 5. Physical touch All humans have one or more of the 5 major Love Languages as part of their attribute. They show it unconsciously to everyone they get closely related to. Most people don't know their Love Languages and that's part of the reasons they have interpersonal problems relating among friends, associates, colleagues, families etc. Love Languages aren't only for people sexually related or people in love but exist among friends and family. It is the way you presently relate with siblings, families and friends that you most likely extend to that soul mate of yours. Some people don't s...
