Integrity

Life gives you lessons even without you asking for it. After 1.5 years of plant neglect, I decided to visit our usual plant nursery. Part of the outfit was in the process of being dismantled by a local municipal authority (LMA) and the owner remarked how difficult it has been to keep up with the rent- he just had to give it up. LMA had been pushing up the rent bit by bit till it has become unbearable- partly because the owner simply refused to play the palm-grazing game.

The night before I heard from a good friend about a leader who misused his authority by promoting self-interest & charging exorbitant sums.

2 contrasting situations, 2 different choices & 2 different outcomes- huge lesson learnt.
