"Right is right, and wrong is wrong, and a body ain’t got no business doing wrong when he ain’t ignorant and knows better." – Mark Twain, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer |
This quote gets right to the heart of something simple but powerful: when you know the difference between right and wrong, you’ve got no excuse for making the wrong choice. It’s one thing if you truly don’t know better—but once you do, you’re responsible for your actions.
Mark Twain had a way of saying things plain and true. He’s reminding us that doing the right thing isn’t always the easiest path, but it’s the one that matters—especially when you have the wisdom and life experience to know better.
It’s a good little gut-check—a reminder that character shows up in our choices, not just in what we say we believe.
In real estate, this often comes down to integrity in the little decisions that aren’t always visible to others. Whether it's disclosing a repair issue, presenting offers honestly, or guiding clients through difficult decisions—it’s about doing what’s right, not just what’s easy or convenient.
I’ve learned time and again that doing the right thing, even when no one’s watching, builds trust—and trust is the foundation of every successful real estate relationship.
