The closing comments at a seminar on working with the activities for residents in a nursing home were the best closing comments I have ever heard. The instructor started her closing comments by saying, "Be a person of integrity."
The instructor continued, "Be a person that people can count on. Start your activities on time. Finish your activities on time. Be someone the people can count on--be a person of integrity."
I left that seminar with some new thoughts. I had not thought of integrity having anything to do with being on time. I had always thought the meaning of integrity as a person doing the right thing even when no one is watching.
Now the word "integrity" was taking on much more meaning to me. Her words, "Be a person people can count on" made me think of so many new areas that integrty could be applied in life.
I will always remember that seminar and I will always strive to be a person people can count on.
