Reap What You Sow

Marilee Jones, dean of admissions at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), recently resigned after admitting the résumé she submitted 28 years ago was filled with lies.
Ms. Jones has written a number of books, including Less Stress, More Success, where she writes: "Holding integrity is sometimes very hard to do because the temptation may be to cheat or cut corners. But just remember that 'what goes around comes around,' meaning that life has a funny way of giving back what you put out." Jones now wishes she had followed her own advice.
