A speaker recalls a respected businessman who nearly fell to bankruptcy after a partner stole assets, chose to repay debts, and valued integrity over bankruptcy. He contrasts this with today’s athletes and entertainers chasing money, advocates recognizing heroes who act for others, cites Amos and Jeremiah, and urges individuals to take risks and stand for right over self-interest.
