Apprentice

Veronica , David Trump’s daughter mentioned how his father chooses his apprentice in the last week of Apprentice series. Trump pick his apprentice base on:

• Solid character
  
• Tough character
  
• Integrity
• Passion

Integrity is the most important element. In my younger days, I tend to think integrity is sort of common sense and something serious. It's about respecting the law, guidelines and principles of professional associations. Just like when I sit for CFA examination, there is a module called "Ethics" and basically tested our knowledge on the guiding principles being a financial analyst. But now, my mind changed quite a bit. Integrity is a bit more than respecting the law or the guideline. Integrity is also about my personal respect to my work, my associate and my company. It is also about our professional attitude on our work. How do we take our responsibility and face failure without blaming other colleagues, saying that it’s their problem and not my oversight? How do we escape from project and pretend to be sick? How do we spend our time in every day - working hard or pretend to work hard while creating gossips and politics around? There is no ICAC and no SFC governing these deeds but our integrity and consciences standards count.
