A friend of mine is facing what is not unusual in the business world: be a team player who ignores what is right -- or -- stand up for the truth -- at the probable cost of losing your job.
On some positions, Cowardice asks the question, "Is it safe?" Expediency asks the question, "Is it politic?" And Vanity comes along and asks the question, "Is it popular?" But Conscience asks the question, "Is it right?" And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but he must do it because Conscience tells him it is right.
