Kill Corruption With YOUR Personal INTEGRITY

Writes Trevor:

Nikki writes in one of her latest blog posts - '..there is a huge amount of corruption in this country. Having said that, it is not confined to the police, or any one sector of the community, it is rampant everywhere. Everyday in the newspaper there is something about someone somewhere who has accepted a bribe of some sort.'

Nikki points out how tempting it is for a business owner to particpate in bribery and corruption to further their business and personal desires.

I cannot see how one with a personal foundation of honesty and integrity, and open transparency in dealings with others, can ever participate in bribery & corruption.

It would be the ultimate in hypocrisy!

“Corruption is like a ball of snow, once it's set a rolling it must increase.” - Charles Caleb Colton

If you take a bribe, if you give a bribe - no matter how small - then you corrupt society and you kill YOUR personal integrity. You betray yourself. The money you make is tainted. The relationships you have cannot be trusted... as they cannot trust you.

Concludes Nikki: 'But is that the right way to go (bribery & corruption)... logic tells me no, because as some point, what-ever it is that has been done illegally, will rise up, like the Phoenix out of the ashes and bite you on the bum! And please believe me, when it bites, it is going to hurt like hell!'

And yet, so many do it... many have been the people who have criticised me in business... and many of them have ended up in jail. How does that work..? Something to do with 'skeletons' I think! And, it's always about greed.
