Ways to keep your nose clean

Mutual accountability

Have someone (a trusted one) in your workplace who will constantly and honestly
check if you are doing what you ought to do. Someone who will remind you and inform
you if you are going out of the line. Someone that will tell you the things you need to
improve.

Submit to Authority

Consulting to your boss as well as following the decision above you is important to
observe and remember.
Never be alone with a person of the opposite sex who is not your spouse

This is the commitment to never give any impression of sexual misconduct.

Never exaggerate your accomplishments
Be gracious to other people, even your critics

“The beauty of life is not just about how our plans are always achieved but
also on how God will lead us to His plan greater than what we aim for

ourselves”
