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
