Professionalism

Difficult to defineIt is not limited to getting a

degree in a so called professional course

It is a way of life. It is to be deeply ingrained.

What Integrity meansSimply said, it means:We follow the rulesWhere rules don’t exist, we use fair judgmentWhen in doubt, we don’t go ahead and do

what suits us; we seek counselFinally, faced with a difficult choice, we ask

ourselves: can my act stand public scrutiny with no embarrassment to me and my family

Test of integrityIs my intended act consistent with the law

of land?Is what I am going to do a fair thing?If I were to seek counsel from someone with

no vested interest, would he second my act?Would it embarrass me if the news of what I

intend to do broke out?
