I cherish honesty because when I was growing up, I was taught to always be honest with myself and others as well. Honesty is really the best policy because when one is being honest with others, they gain their trust and understanding. Honesty can be defined as “the quality of being fair and truthful : the quality of being honest” (Merriam Webster, 2016). I can use honesty in my professional life by gaining trust with my coworkers and building connections with them simply by being honest with them. Honesty does build trust because no one wants someone who is going to lie to them around them all the…
Honesty is being truthful with one’s own soul through and through.…
Honestly, is honesty for suckers? Sad to say but for the most part yes. People are just plain greedy; everyone from a single person to a million dollar company everyone wants the most money with the least amount of effort. This has led to a world of dishonest, lazy, cheap individuals, making those who put in effort look dumb for trying much harder for the same or worse results. Kids start off cheating their way through school and end up selling fake copies of the hangout at a car wash. As much as I don’t like this the fact is honesty has become the tool of those who wish to achieve less. People these days’ value low prices and don’t care who they hurt because of it.…
It is important for people to maintain their integrity. Without integrity the world would be a dishonest place, where people would be going out to get everything they can any way they can. Just like Ann and Thomas Putnam in The Crucible. They were condemning…
Lies are told around the world multiple times during the day. Everyone sitting in this room has probably once today, said a lie. Sometimes lying is understandable for someone’s protection but sometimes the truth is essential to the person. There are multiple things people say in a day that are seen as lies such as “That outfit looks really good on you!,” “It wasn’t me!” and “I’ll be with you in a few minutes.” Honestly is not always the best policy because in the end it does not make everything better. People tell little lies so that they protect someone they care about and not hurt the feelings of another person. Honesty not always being the best policy is showed in The Scarlet Letter, “Tell All The Truth” poem, the “He Lies” video,…
I am honest. Telling the truth can be hard for people to do but not me. Telling the truth can be hard for people to hear. But it is the only way for us to better ourselves or to move past an event in our lives. I have seen the affects growing up of how my father lied to my mother and the damage that is can cause. Honesty allows us to build trust which is such an important bond that we build with our family, friends and even total strangers. As I am getting older I am realizing that honest is always the best policy but it matters on how you deliver the honesty.…

Honesty and integrity are two character traits that are sadly lacking in America today especially related to work. “Apart from eternal life, integrity may be the most precious possession I have, its violation my greatest loss.” There was a time in America where decent every man and women felt that their reputation and integrity was a thing of great value. Today many care about their reputation, but they also are more willing to use dishonest means to gain the things they want in life. The commandments of thou shalt not steal and you shall not bear false witness against your neighbor used to be upheld by early American society even by individuals who would not call themselves Christians.…
To be honest is to be truthful, reliable, and not lie all at the same time. It means you don’t lie, and you don’t deceive. It is a genuine, heartfelt act and a sign of integrity. If you are honest, you are willing to tell the truth even at a loss. Although “honesty” is known by many people, they don’t seem to understand its true meaning. Usually, people think honesty and truthfulness are the same. But when you are truthful, a person will tell the truth out of respect for themselves and others. A person who is honest doesn’t have to be asked to tell the truth. Honesty is a much more reliable feature, because it is difficult to be and maintain. Overall honesty strengthens your character and improves relationships with others. Honesty can be used in encouraging others and not criticizing them.…
Honesty is sometimes how the world goes round'. If no one was honest then how would anyone be able to function or trust anyone? The world would be even more of a crueler place than it is now. Every employer is looking for that honest person. Everyone's vote goes…
People who tell the truth become more truthful. Our own image must be appreciated by everybody. We have to keep a good image of ourselves. That means to be honest in all situations. We trust people because they develop a reputation for telling the truth. An honest person will become trustworthy over time. It is the most important feeling that we can receive from outside. For example, if a person lied and we know what he said was a lie; we are not going to trust this person again. His image of himself is damaged.…
