Integrity…
I attended the National Association of Document Examiners Annual Conference in Austin, TX last week. It was very informative and an overall enjoyable conference. In my opinion, document examiners and/or handwriting experts are a great group of people. One lecturer commended our group’s diverse talents. Perhaps she compliments each group she lectures to, but she seemed very sincere in her favorable comments and I prefer to view her as someone of integrity. Whether I am partial or not, I do have a lot of respect for document examiners and overall, they are an extremely intelligent and talented group, and are a pleasure to rub elbows with.
During the conference, one presenter lectured on ethics and integrity. I looked up a quote he made and found that it appears to have originated from Alan Simpson, former U.S. Senator.
“If you have integrity, nothing else matters. If you don’t have integrity, nothing else matters.”
In my opinion, that pretty much sums up integrity. There are those that have it, and those that don’t.
