Intelligence, Energy and Integrity

Just a little something I read.  

“You’re looking for three things, generally, in a person,” says Buffett. “Intelligence, energy, and integrity. And if they don’t have the last one, don’t even bother with the first two. I tell them, ‘Everyone here has the intelligence and energy—you wouldn’t be here otherwise. But the integrity is up to you. You weren’t born with it, you can’t learn it in school.”

The definition of integrity is simple. It is doing what you said you will do, when you said you will do it. It is a sense of self conscious that tells you not to be hypocritical. It is not saying one thing and doing another. It is being honest to your words.  And in Buffet's words, it has to come from within, it is a choice.
