What is honesty? Honesty means speaking the truth and being fair and upright in act, it will be reflected in our day to day behavior. Honesty is a good habit. Considered a virtue, it is admired in every country and every culture. He who lies and cheats is dishonest. Dishonest is generally looked upon as an evil, and is despised and condemned by the society.
As the English proverb goes, honesty is the best policy. Honesty is important for our study, it will help us get the real ability and learning, prevent us from cheating. But to my surprise, some people consider honesty as a stranger and want to kick it away, some people try to get benefits by dishonest means. For example, when some students can't do their exercises, they copy from their classmates. From copying, they learn to lie. From acting a lie, they learn to cheat on tests or examinations, in order to get good marks.
The same thing may be said of a merchant who tries to get rich by deceiving customers and selling fake products. When those poor quality products caused heavy losses to the society, they didn't realize that they had done something guilty, or rather, they were proud of their so-called wisdom. Those people may succeed for a time, but sooner or later, they will be caught. In the end, no one will believe them and no one will trust them, dishonesty will bring them nothing but trouble, disgrace, and failure.
Honest is our personality. Honest is an attitude of mind. If we want to be succeeding in our life, the first qualification we should have is honesty. It is honesty that brings people together and makes people trust us. It is honesty that brings us the pleasure of being respected and loved by others. Sincerity, knowledge, support, open communication, and honesty will take us far in our future life.
Sometimes, it takes a lot of courage to be honest. But for those who live this way, the potential rewards are great. We require complete honesty in everything we do. We make commitments with care, and then live up to them. When we live our truth, we seem to have tremendous courage, to be able to face whatever situation. It seems that nothing can stop us. And our positive energy will influence the people around us.
Be honest in our study. Be honest in our life. Be honest can create more aliveness. Be honest can create more love to others. Be honest can create more contribution to our society.
Let us keep up the honesty.
