The original writing of this quote was either \"Integrity means doing the right thing, even when no one else is there to judge\" or \"Whenever you do a thing, act as if all the world were watching.\" <br /> <br />Either way, this bodes well with ancient wisdom in doing the right thing. Confucius believed that courage is to see what was right and do it. Accordingly, Taoist wisdom teaches us that the courageous person is the individual who stands up in the face of fear and danger, overcoming obstacles, overcoming their fears and their dangers, and doing what is right. Even Seneca believed in magnanimity, or acting with \"greatness of mind.\" He believed that all humans need greatness of mind. <br /> <br />I challenge you today to act with integrity. Act with courage. What is one thing you will do today to demonstrate integrity? Courage? <br /> <br />Peace & love to all<br /> <br />~ KO",

"content": "Although the famous C.S. Lewis is often believed to have said that integrity is \"doing the right thing, even when no one is watching.\" He was not the one who in fact said that. The original writing of this quote was either \"Integrity means doing the right thing, even when no one else is there to judge\" or \"Whenever you do a thing, act as if all the world were watching.\" \n \nEither way, this bodes well with ancient wisdom in doing the right thing. Confucius believed that courage is to see what was right and do it. Accordingly, Taoist wisdom teaches us that the courageous person is the individual who stands up in the face of fear and danger, overcoming obstacles, overcoming their fears and their dangers, and doing what is right. Even Seneca believed in magnanimity, or acting with \"greatness of mind.\" He believed that all humans need greatness of mind. \n \nI challenge you today to act with integrity. Act with courage. What is one thing you will do today to demonstrate integrity? Courage? \n \nPeace & love to all\n \n~ KO",
