The Code: A Guide to Health and Human Performance

130. Do the Right Thing Even When No One is Watching

Listen Later

“I encourage you to take a good hard look in the mirror each morning when you wake up and just ask yourself, is that the type of person that I want to be? Am I the type of person that will only do right in certain situations if I know somebody is going to catch me in the act, if I know somebody is going to be watching me?” advises Dr. Andrew Fix, emphasizing integrity and character.

 

In this episode, Dr. Fix discusses integrity, accountability, and setting a good example. He shares a personal story about witnessing an able-bodied man improperly park in a handicap spot to illustrate the broader implications of our actions. He stresses that integrity means doing the right thing even when no one is watching, and accountability involves adhering to rules and laws, reflecting our true character. Dr. Fix urges us to act with integrity and accountability, as our behavior sets a precedent for others.

 

Quotes

  • “We are always on stage, especially if you’re in a leadership position, a parent, a coach, or a medical provider, people are always watching and you are always on stage. It’s always a performance and you have to be performing to the best of your abilities whenever possible because other people are going to notice.” (07:52 | Dr. Andrew Fix)
  • “People are always watching you and whether you like it or not, you’re going to be judged by your actions. And I’m a big believer, as many of you probably are too, that actions speak louder than words.” (10:36 | Dr. Andrew Fix)
  • “Whether or not you think that the rule or the law is the way that it should be, we still need to respect the law, right? Rules are there for a reason so that the people who actually need it, need those spaces, and have them available when the time comes that they need to use it.” (11:41 | Dr. Andrew Fix)
  • “Remember that you’re always on stage and it doesn’t matter who’s watching or who’s not watching. We should be doing the right thing. We want to be people that are known to have great integrity, great character. You should do the right thing whether or not somebody is watching you.” (12:08 | Dr. Andrew Fix)
