TO SHOW my faith in the worthiness of
my vocation by industrious application to the 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’s; to be loyal to my clients or customers and
true to myself.
WHENEVER a doubt arises as to the
right or ethics of my position or action towards others,
to resolve such doubt against myself.
TO HOLD friendship as an end and not 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 is given.
ALWAYS to bear in mind my obligations
as a citizen to my nation, my state and my community,
and to give them my unswerving loyalty in word, act and
deed. To give them freely of my time, labor, 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.
