Elbert Hubbard's "Loyalty Pledge" emphasizes that a member should fully back and commit to their organization, or choose to leave. It promotes the idea that loyalty and professional behavior outweigh high intelligence, encouraging members to speak positively about their organization and refrain from internal criticism. (APO PHILIPPINES)
It conveys a message of complete dedication from a member, stating that one should embrace and support the organization wholeheartedly and remain committed to it.
"An ounce of loyalty is worth a pound of cleverness" implies that commitment and dependability hold greater value than intelligence or skill without loyalty.
If you find yourself unable to support the organization and constantly "growl, complain, and criticize," the honorable course of action is to resign rather than weaken the institution from within.
Being a member of APO is not merely about having the freedom to act without considering the consequences. We, the members of this esteemed fraternity, bear the title of APO with pride. It is a duty that everyone within our unbroken circle understands, as we uphold the honorable legacy that our founders sacrificed to create a better future from this troubled land.
The Loyalty Pledge serves as a caution, reminding us that if we choose to stay, we must not criticize our organization. If we do, we risk being "blown away" (dismissed or expelled) by the first "strong wind," and we may never fully understand the reasons why.
