The difference in their deeds is simple: People of character do what is right regardless of the situation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One way that I\u2019ve tried to control my natural bent to do wrong is to ask myself some questions (adapted from questions written by business ethicist Dr. Laura Nash)<\/p>\n<p>1. Am I hiding something?<\/p>\n<p>2. Am I hurting anyone?<\/p>\n<p>3. How does it look from the other person\u2019s point of view?<\/p>\n<p>4. Have I discussed this face-to-face?<\/p>\n<p>5.
