Recently, I wrote several blogs about the Seven Deadly Workplace Sins. I took a look at each of them and how they can get you in trouble in the workplace. They’re great transgressions to avoid if you want to succeed professionally.
So now I thought I’d take a closer look at the four Cardinal Virtues: justice, fortitude, prudence and temperance. These are great qualities to have in your personal life and they can carry over to help you thrive in the business world.
Justice is an admirable characteristic. When you take an evenhanded approach to your professional dealings, you act fair and square to the people around you - meaning your coworkers and your clients. When there’s an undercurrent of honesty in your business dealings, not only will your deals come off well, but people will be back for repeat business. They’ll know they can trust you and they’ll have faith in your integrity.
Being fair also means giving credit where credit is due, not taking the glory for someone else’s accomplishments and taking the blame when the fault is yours. Remember, in the end, what goes around comes around - the good and the bad.

The fool is the one who thinks that
monkey, slavery mind can command God's legions.
The greatest among us

The smallest is the cancer of society

I read your blog and feel that you do not go into as much detail as this topic demands to do this blog true JUSTICE I would add the following.
A sense of Justice is to deal with people in a manner that shows that you treat everyone fairly and decently and that you can not operate in any other mode. I often take an exercise of seeing it from the other parties perspective I will not treat a person in a way that is not true to me - you know how you want to be treated and that others also deserve the same treatment in return.
Also you usually speak in terms of business and do not often go into how you apply the principles to your private life, I am certain that some readers may feel that you use the principles you expound only in business mode. My comment in relation to this is that I am a highly perceptive person and seeing you in action on the Apprentice you demonstrate that your life ruling principles are what you are and in the few glimpses of how you interact with friends and family that you are the same person no matter what time of day or with whoever you are interacting with.
In the instances when you have to talk tough to contractors as detailed in the first book I read launched with the first season of the apprentice or to candidates on the apprentice you are fair and honest you say what has to be said and it is from your sense of Justice and you demonstrate kindness and a wish to help the person in their future endeavours.
