Personally, I believe that the most important quality in becoming a successful USMA cadet and Army officer is being humble and respectful. Be painfully humble. Nobody likes a egotistical person, especially if that person is of higher rank and giving orders left and right. You are no better than the person next to you and you are no less. I always keep the saying in mind: “Never compare your chapter one to someone else’s chapter twenty.” You are just you and you should always continue to be you. However

Discussion Board Integrity and Honesty After reading Carter’s article on integrity I found the man made much sense. I never really thought about what honesty and integrity were when compared to each other, although they do seem to go hand in hand…or so I always thought.

I guess I had always believed that if you were honest you also had integrity. However

play, both good and bad. At the roots of this tragic tale however, stand the three traits that really define the true meaning that Arthur Miller was trying to get across-Truth, Courage, Weakness. The topic of honesty is majorly hit on in this play. Miller is able to easily display honesty in nearly every character.
