Do you believe being ethical will lead to a better quality of life for you? Do cheaters win in the real world, or does ethical conduct lead to a more satisfying outcome? Are there times you would be willing to compromise your ethics for business gain?

Answers:

1. I believe that being ethical will lead to a better quality of life for me because personal experience has proven that whenever I sow the seeds of goodness and right deeds-which ethics is concerned with-I attract goodness and right deeds in return: what goes around, comes around; when I am honest and exhibit good moral standards, there will be a higher probability for me to establish a good reputation, and attract honesty and goodness in return.

2. Yes, it is quite unfortunate that cheaters often win in the real world, and ethical conduct does not often lead to more satisfying outcomes in life. However, cheating has negative consequences that strike at any time, and would haunt its perpetrators, either during life on Earth, or in the life beyond Earth.

3. No, I would never compromise my ethics for business gain because the repercussions for doing so may haunt me later, especially during times that I might not be prepared for such repercussions. I could lose the trust of business giants and established corporations: If I do not compromise my ethics for personal gains, I will likely come across favorable business gains in future, without having to struggle for them.
