You've Got to Be Kidding!: How to Keep Your Job Without Losing Your Integrity

Back to Bobby Jones

Jones was praised throughout his career for observing this rule of golf, which cost him great personal expense. But he forever refused to acknowledge or accept any praise for observing the rule. In fact, his response was always: “You might as well praise a man for not robbing a bank!” What he did was the right thing to do.

What’s so hard about that?

If you have integrity, nothing else matters. And, if you don’t have integrity, nothing else matters!

—Harvey Mackay, best-selling author
