One fundamental characteristic of the Code of Professional Ethics is integrity. Integrity is the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles. It is critical because it fosters trust and reliability in professional relationships. When professionals demonstrate integrity, they uphold the reputation of their profession and the organizations they represent. This characteristic ensures that decisions and actions are made based on ethical considerations, which is essential for maintaining public confidence in professional services. Moreover, integrity is the cornerstone upon which other ethical principles are built, such as objectivity and confidentiality. Without integrity, the foundation of ethical practice is compromised, leading to a potential erosion of professional standards and public trust.

To understand my view on this topic , it is probably best to start at the end of the story and work backwards. The story is how do we come to establish the meaning of self. The self is not something that can be categorised and attributed. It is the story you can’t know it, but you can be it.

Punctuality. Being punctual is one of my strengths, I don’t remember a single day where I was late for work in both private and public sector. Being punctual makes your day to day work easy as you get to prepare well for the day.
