TRUE BLUE AUSSIE
|
Lions Code of
Ethics
-
To Show
my faith
in the worthiness of my vocation by industrious application to the end
that I may merit a reputation for quality of service.
-
To Seek
success
and to demand all fair remuneration or profit as my just due, but to
accept no profit or success at the price of my own self-respect lost
because of unfair advantage taken or because of questionable acts on my
part.
-
To Remember
that in building up my business it is not necessary to tear down
another's; to be loyal to my clients or customers and true to myself.
-
Whenever
a doubt arises as to the right or ethics of my position or action
towards others, to resolve such doubts against myself.
-
To Hold
friendship as an end and not a means. To hold that true friendship
exists not on account of the service performed by one another, but that
true friendship demands nothing but accepts service in the spirit in
which it is given.
-
Always
to bear in mind my obligations as a citizen to my nation, my state, and
my community, as to give them my unswerving loyalty in word, act, and
deed. To give them freely of my time, labor and means.
-
To Aid
others by
giving my sympathy to those in distress, my aid to the weak, and my
substance to the needy.
-
To Be Careful with my criticism and liberal with my praise; to
build up and not destroy
