　　Why Integrity Matters
　　What is Integrity?
　　The key to integrity is consistency--not only setting high personal standards for oneself (honesty, responsibility, respect for others, fairness) but also living up to those standards each day. One who has integrity is bound by and follows moral and ethical standards even when making life's hard choices, choices which may be clouded by stress, pressure to succeed, or temptation.
　　What happens if we lie, cheat, steal, or violate other ethical standards? We feel disappointed in ourselves and ashamed. But a lapse of integrity also affects our relationships with others. Trust is essential in any important relationship, whether personal or professional. Who can trust someone who is dishonest or unfair? Thus, integrity must be one of our most important goals.
　　Risky Business
　　We are each responsible for our own decisions, even if the decision-making process has been undermined by stress or peer pressure. The real test of character is whether we can learn from our mistake, by understanding why we acted as we did, and then exploring ways to avoid similar problems in the future.
　　Making ethical decisions is a critical part of avoiding future problems. We must learn to recognize risks, because if we can't see the risks we're taking, we can't make responsible choices. To identify risks, we need to know the rules and be aware of the facts. For example, one who doesn't know the rules about plagiarism may accidentally use words or ideas without giving proper credit, or one who fails to keep careful research notes may unintentionally fail to quote and cite sources as required. But the fact that such a violation is &unintentional& does not excuse the misconduct. Ignorance is not a defense.
　　&But Everybody Does It&
　　Most people who get in trouble do know the rules and facts, but manage to fool themselves about the risks they're taking by using excuses: &Everyone else does it,& &I'm not hurting anyone,& or &I really need this grade.& Excuses can get very elaborate: &I know I'm looking at another's exam, even though I'm supposed to keep my eyes on my own paper, but that's not cheating because I'm just checking my answers, not copying.& We must be honest about our actions, and avoid excuses. If we fool ourselves into believing we're not doing anything wrong, we can't see the real choice we're making--and that leads to bad decisions.
　　To avoid fooling yourself, watch out for excuses and try this test: Ask how you would feel if your actions were public and anyone could be watching over your shoulder. Would you feel proud or ashamed of your actions? If you'd rather hide your actions, that's a good indication that you're taking a risk and rationalizing it to yourself.
　　Evaluating Risks
　　To decide whether a risk is worth taking, you must examine the consequences, in the future as well as right now, negative as well as positive, and to others as well as to yourself. Those who take risks they later regret usually focus on immediate benefits (&what's in it for me&), and simply haven't considered what might go wrong. The consequences of getting caught are serious, and may include a &0& on
an &F& suspension or d and a tarnished reputation. In fact, when you break a rule or law, you lose control over your life, and give others the power to impose punishment: you have no control over what that punishment might be. This is an extremely precarious and vulnerable position. There may be some matters of life and death, or highest principle, which might justify such a risk, but there aren't many things that fall in this category.

Nothing Succeeds Without a Strong Will by commenting on the humorous saying,
&Quitting smoking is the easiest thing in the world. I've done it hundreds of

standards for oneself (honesty, responsibility, respect for others, fairness)
but also living up to those standards each day. One who has integrity is bound
by and follows moral and ethical standards even when making life's hard choices,
choices which may be clouded by stress, pressure to succeed, or temptation. 　　What happens if we lie, cheat, steal, or violate other ethical standards?
We feel disappointed in ourselves and ashamed. But a lapse of integrity also
affects our relationships with others. Trust is essential in any important
relationship, whether personal or professional. Who can trust someone who is
dishonest or unfair? Thus, integrity must be one of our most important
goals. 　　Risky Business 　　We are each responsible for our own decisions, even if the decision-making
process has been undermined by stress or peer pressure. The real test of
character is whether we can learn from our mistake, by understanding why we
acted as we did, and then exploring ways to avoid similar problems in the
future. 　　Making ethical decisions is a critical part of avoiding future problems. We
must learn to recognize risks, because if we can't see the risks we're taking,
we can't make responsible choices. To identify risks, we need to know the rules
and be aware of the facts. For example, one who doesn't know the rules about
plagiarism may accidentally use words or ideas without giving proper credit, or
one who fails to keep careful research notes may unintentionally fail to quote
and cite sources as required. But the fact that such a violation is
&unintentional& does not excuse the misconduct. Ignorance is not a defense. 　　&But Everybody Does It& 　　Most people who get in trouble do know the rules and facts, but manage to
fool themselves about the risks they're taking by using excuses: &Everyone else
does it,& &I'm not hurting anyone,& or &I really need this grade.& Excuses can
get very elaborate: &I know I'm looking at another's exam, even though I'm
supposed to keep my eyes on my own paper, but that's not cheating because I'm
just checking my answers, not copying.& We must be honest about our actions, and
avoid excuses. If we fool ourselves into believing we're not doing anything
wrong, we can't see the real choice we're making--and that leads to bad
decisions. 　　To avoid fooling yourself, watch out for excuses and try this test: Ask how
you would feel if your actions were public, and anyone could be watching over
your shoulder. Would you feel proud or ashamed of your actions? If you'd rather
hide your actions, that's a good indication that you're taking a risk and
rationalizing it to yourself. 　　Evaluating Risks 　　To decide whether a risk is worth taking, you must examine the
consequences, in the future as well as right now, negative as well as positive,
and to others as well as to yourself. Those who take risks they later regret
usually focus on immediate benefits (&what's in it for me&), and simply haven't
considered what might go wrong. The consequences of getting caught are serious,
and may include a &0& on
an &F& suspension
or d and a tarnished reputation. In
fact, when you break a rule or law, you lose control over your life, and give
others the power to impose punishment: you have no control over what that
punishment might be. This is an extremely precarious and vulnerable position.
There may be some matters of life and death, or highest principle, which might
justify such a risk, but there aren't many things that fall in this
category. 　　Getting Away With It--Or Not 　　Those who don't get caught pay an even higher price. A cheater doesn't
learn from the test, depriving him/herself of an education. Cheating undermines
confidence and independence: the cheater is a fraud, and knows that without
dishonesty, he/she would have failed. Cheating destroys self-esteem and
integrity, leaving the cheater ashamed, guilty, and afraid of getting caught.
Worst of all, a cheater who doesn't get caught the first time usually cheats
again, not only because he/she is farther behind, but also because it seems
&easier.& This slippery slope of eroding ethics and bigger risks leads only to
disaster. Eventually, the cheater gets caught, and the later he/she gets caught,
the worse the consequences. Students have been dismissed from school because
they didn't get this simple message: Honesty is the ONLY policy that works. 　　Cheating Hurts Others, Too 　　Cheaters often feel invisible, as if their actions &don't count& and don't
really hurt anyone. But individual choices have a profound cumulative effect.
Cheating can spread like a disease, and a cheater can encourage others just by
being seen from across the room. Recent statistics suggest 30% or more of
college students cheat. If a class is graded on a curve, cheating hurts others'
grades. Even if there is no curve, cheating &poisons& the classroom, and others
may feel pressured to join in. (&If I don't cheat, I can't compete with those
who do.&) Cheating also has a destructive impact on teachers. The real reward of
good teaching is seeing students learn, but ⑧.a cheater says, &I'm not
interested in what you' all I care about is stealing a grade,
regardless of the effect on others.& The end result is a blatant and destructive
attack on the quality of your education. Finally, cheating can hurt the
reputation of the University, and harm those who worked hard for their
degree. 　　Why Integrity Matters 　　If cheating becomes the norm, then we are in big trouble. ⑨.We must rely on
the honesty and good faith of others every day. If not, we couldn't put money in
the bank, buy food, clothing, or medicine from others, drive across a bridge,
get on a plane, go to the dentist--the list is endless. There are many examples
of the vast harm that is caused when individuals forget or ignore the effect
their dishonesty can have. The savings and loan scandal, the stock market and
junk bond swindles, and, of course, ⑩.Watergate, have undermined the faith of
many Americans in the integrity of political and economic leaders and society as
a whole. Such incidents take a tremendous toll on our nation's economy and our
individual well-being. For example, but for the savings and loan debacle, there
might be funds available to reduce the national debt and pay for education. 　　In sum, we all have a common stake in our school, our community, and our
society. Our actions do matter. It is essential that we act with integrity in
order to build the kind of world in which we want to live.& 　　1. A person of integrity not only sets high moral and ethical standards but
also _______。 　　A) sticks to them in their daily life　　B) makes them known to others 　　C) understands their true values 　　D) sees that others also follow them 　　2. What role does integrity play in personal and professional
relationships? 　　A) It helps to create team spirit 　B) It facilitates communication 　　C) It is the basis of mutual trust 　D) It inspires mutual respect 　　3. Why must we learn to identify the risks we are going to take? 　　A. To ensure we make responsible choices 　B. To avoid being overwhelmed by
stress 　　C. so that we don&t break any rules 　D. so that we don&t run into

　　Nothing Succeeds Without a Strong Will
　　作者：大家网名师 钱坤强 教授
　　Sometimes, in our daily life, the easiest thing might be the most difficult thing, as in the case of some people trying to quit smoking for hundreds of times and still making endless efforts without any hope of success. The reason for their failure is their lack of a strong will。
　　In our modern world, nothing is simple and straightforward. Something might appear deceptively easy at first, but as we proceed on, we will find that it is actually extremely difficult. Therefore, we must take whatever we do seriously and be mentally prepared to make our utmost exertions. When we encounter obstacles and setbacks, we must apply our strong willpower and persevere until we finally succeed。
　　For us university students, in our academic studies or in our daily life on campus, we might not be faced with insurmountable challenges. But we need to get prepared, right now, to take things seriously, try to cultivate our strong will, and be ready to pursue our goals through persistence and indefatigable will. I believe it&s the only way we can achieve our success。
　　Nothing Succeeds Without a Strong Will
　　作者：大家网名师 钱坤强 教授
　　Success depends on many factors, both physical and spiritual. In my opinion, mental factors like a strong will are far more decisive in enabling us to achieve success. For example, despite our repeated efforts to quit smoking, our lack of a strong will would still cause us to end up in failure。
　　In any of our undertakings, we should first set a goal. Some goals are highly challenging. Without a strong will, people would give up in the middle and they fail to achieve their goals. For those people who do succeed, they succeed simply because they have that mental stamina which enables them to challenge even the most insurmountable difficulties。
　　We often say that &Impossible is Nothing&. To make the impossible possible, we must exercise our perseverance and strong willpower. Or, as an English proverb goes, &If there is a will, there is a way.& Our world is becoming increasingly competitive and only by making strong-willed efforts can we maximize our full potential and gain competitive edges, and prevail over all obstacles that lie in our way to success。
