A short motivational reminder for compliance professionals

Much like the Yin-Yang symbol, which represents that everything contains a bit of its opposite and that opposites are interconnected and complementary, this concept shows that one aspect cannot exist without the other. The symbol illustrates how light and dark, good and bad, are not just opposing forces but are intertwined and reliant on each other.

Without unethical practices, there would be no need to regulate human behaviour and responses. The ongoing struggle between light and dark, ethics and unethics, justice and injustice, and success and failure is perpetual. Therefore, staying self-motivated is essential when dealing with the complexities of compliance matters. At times, you might feel like Don Quixote, tilting at windmills, but this effort serves as a reminder to live with authenticity and passion. Even if pursuing an ethical world or business environment seems like an unattainable dream, and even if it feels like getting blood from a stone, keep pushing forward.
