Essential Virtues to Live By

There are two guiding principles we should always keep in mind. In positions of leadership, fairness leads to wise decisions, and integrity earns respect. At home, forgiveness brings emotional peace, and simplicity ensures our needs are met. Of course, these are not the only values worth remembering. Whether in public life, at work, or within our families, we each need our own set of personal rules to live by. Fairness, integrity, forgiveness, and simplicity—these are truly essential virtues. But more than remembering them, practicing them is what truly matters.
