On Compromise and Integrity -- Two short pieces, one from Jim Vornov...
"Look at where you place the boundry of the system. If the border is around self, you act in self interest always without regard for people and things without. That is ego and that is pride. Every choice that fails self is a compromise."
"Sometimes we feel bad when the rules must be broken. They're just rules though. What's important is that we have a moral center, a professional core, that refuses to compromise the quality of our work."
