Core Values
CORE VALUE: HONESTY & TRUTH
Truth lies at the heart of friendship and creates the foundation �upon which trust and accountability are built.
Honesty or truthfulness is a facet of moral character that connotes positive and virtuous attributes such as integrity, truthfulness, straightforwardness (including straightforwardness of conduct: earnestness), along with the absence of lying, cheating, theft, etc.
Truth is the quality of being true, or in agreement with reality or fact. It can also refer to a statement that is true or accepted.
Examples of truth
Honesty
“No legacy is so rich as honesty.” William Shakespeare
“Honesty is the best policy.” Benjamin Franklin
“Honesty is a very expensive gift. Don’t expect it from cheap people.” Warren Buffett
“Honesty and transparency make you vulnerable. Be honest and transparent anyway.” Mother Teresa
“Honesty doesn't mean, saying everything you think.” African Proverb
Truth
“In a time of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.” - George Orwell
“What I know is that speaking your truth is the most powerful tool we have.” - Oprah Winfrey
“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie. Deliberate. Contrived and Dishonest. But the Myth. Persistent. Persuasive and Unrealistic.” – John F. Kennedy
“I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” - Jesus Christ
“Anyone who doesn’t take truth seriously in small matters cannot be trusted in large ones either.” - Albert Einstein
“Truth is powerful and it prevails.” - Sojourner Truth
SCENARIO 1
Link Tanya has been a member of XYZ Chapter for more than 10 years. Her BFF, Jasmine, is not a member but Link Tanya has always dreamed that they would both be Links and travel to Area Conferences and National Assemblies together. Five years ago, the last time the Chapter invited new members, Link Tanya nominated Jasmine but Jasmine lives outside XYZ Chapter’s service area and could not be issued an invitation. This year, Link Tanya believes she has found the perfect workaround so that she and Jasmine can finally be in the same Links Chapter. Link Tanya nominated Jasmine but listed the address of a friend, Rosie, as Jasmine’s address. Rosie lives within the Chapter’s approved area but Jasmine does not. Rosie happens to attend the same church as the Chapter VP, Link Bianca, and they frequently carpool together so the VP is familiar with the address. When Link Bianca is reviewing the nomination forms but before the chapter vote, she recognizes Rosie’s address.
What should Link Bianca do? What about Link Tanya?
