Shine when no one is looking

What would you do if you found Php14,720,000.00 in a box lying around near a money-teller machine with no one looking? Tempting right? One man from Jeddah exactly did what was the right thing to do - return it. He found US$320,000.00 in cold cash and returned it immediately. This story speaks volumes about Lark Michael B. Colegado's character. He did the right thing even when no one was looking. This story may be old but the quality this story possess is timeless. Like many Filipinos, we applaud this kind of quality for a Better Filipino in us.

IT'S IN THE BIBLE! Check this out. Mr. Colegado didn't just learn the honesty trait from his parents. There's a huge possibility that his parents got it from scriptural words like these that just helps them from their day-to-day life. Like Lark Michael, Job is living in adversity but despite poor odds they both chose to do the right thing.
I will maintain my righteousness and never let go of it; my conscience will not reproach me as long as I live. (Job 27:6)

Golfer lost a title, won respect all over the world

If you haven't heard of John Davis, you may want to consider him a "hero" of sorts for just doing the right thing - honesty. In a much publicized sport of golf, a little-known golfer who is a stroke away from stepping into the professional world of this sport called a penalty on himself and cost him his chance to earn it this year. Read the story and how profound his character was and how he won the hearts of many people around the world. I cheer people who are like this and he helped me remember that it pays to be honest. He may have lost something but he gained a lot for his courage to do the right thing.
