NO EXCUSES, NO EXPLANATIONS

Chapter 2 of Uncommon is titled Honesty and Integrity. Coach Dungy shares a story about a student selling notes for a Psychology 1001 class when he was a student at the University of Minnesota. He discusses his thought process of rationalizing whether or not it was the right thing to do. Are the notes cheating? What if the professor includes other information? Is it the right thing to do? Again- Shortcuts are easy... Doing the work is harder, but is worthwhile! Integrity and Honesty is something that you can control. It is not what other people think of you- It is what you think of you! Be a person who owns up to your decisions with NO EXCUSES, NO EXPLANATIONS! If you were going to work for the President of the United States- How would you answer this question on the background check? Have you ever done anything that would be embarrassing for the President of the United States to be associated with? Coach Dungy served on the President's Council on Service and Civic Participation.
