You are as good as your word. Integrity matters.
They will tell you that these days,
"Nice guys finish last."
If that's what you've been hearing,
may we suggest that you may be running with the wrong crowd..
and we've got some folks
we'd like you to meet.

Maintaining integrity throughout one's career requires a decision to never break

despite the allure of money, power or popularity. (Joe Badaracco, Harvard)
