TO SHOW my faith in the
worthiness of my vocation by industrious application to that end
that I may merit a reputation for quality of service;
TO SEEK success and to
demand all fair remuneration or profit as my just due, but to
accept no profit or success at the price of my own self-respect
lost because of unfair advantage taken or because of questionable
acts on my part;
TO REMEMBER that in building
up my business it is not necessary to tear down another; to be
loyal to my clients or customers; and to be true to myself;
WHENEVER a doubt arises
as to the right or ethics of my position or action towards my
fellow men, to resolve such doubt against myself;
TO HOLD friendships as
an end and not as a means. To hold that true friendship exists
not on account of the service performed by one to another, but
that true friendship demands nothing but accepts service in the
spirit in which it was given;
ALWAYS bear in mind my
obligations as a citizen to my nation, and my state, and my community,
and to give them my unswerving loyalty in word, act and deed. To
give them freely of my time, labour and means;
TO AID others by giving
my sympathy to those in distress, my aid to the weak and my substance
to the needy;
TO BE CAREFUL with my
criticism and liberal with my praise: to build up and not destroy.
