BLOG POST 205- LIVING OFF THE NET
When a New York taxi driver discovered a bag left in his cab containing over $100,000 in cash, he faced a choice that would test his integrity. Instead of keeping the money, he tracked down the owner — an elderly woman who had withdrawn her life savings. His honesty not only restored her hope in humanity but also changed his own life in unexpected ways.
“Integrity is doing the right thing, even when no one is watching.” — C.S. Lewis

4. Doing Good Comes Back Around
