“The reward for doing right is mostly an internal phenomenon: self-respect, dignity (self-worth), integrity, and self-esteem.”

~Dr. Laura Schlessinger

I agree with this marvelous quote by Dr. Laura because it is true, the reward for doing right is mostly an internal phenomenon: self-respect, dignity (self-worth), integrity, and self-esteem. Not only does it help yourself but it also helps the people around you to think differently of you in a positive way. It’s just like you choose the right it reflects on you in a good way and in that way people around you will like to be around you. More opportunities for you, more respect, more frequently called for help because they see you as the right.

Integrity

Definition: Integrity - the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles; moral uprightness.
