“Integrity is choosing courage over comfort; choosing what is right over what is fun, fast, or easy; and choosing to practice our values rather than simply professing them.”
— Brene Brown

Simplified Meaning:
Being true to your principles means doing what’s right, even when it’s hard. For example, imagine a student who finds a phone on the ground. Returning it to lost and found, instead of keeping it, may not be as fun or easy, but it’s the honest action. This choice shows courage because the student cares more about doing the right thing than about briefly enjoying the phone. Real integrity is about living by your values every day, not just saying you have them. By consistently making tough but correct choices, people build trust and respect. In life, choosing integrity means you act according to your principles, regardless of the situation.
