Honesty is the best policy

People nowadays are less honest with each other than our forefather,
which make living in this modern life is not easy at all. The fact that
people are not honest causes problems, some of which could hurt others
badly. In my opinion lying is not a good job to do. Thus I agree the
statement honesty is the best policy.

If we do not lie, we will take advantages from it. Everyone will trust us.
We will have good friends, a great job and of course a good life to live.
An example for this is my oldest sister who graduated from college. She
never lies and she is the one that you can believe. Employers always
want to have honest people to work for them. My sister has got a great
job and she work hard too. Being honest in her job, she has got quick
promotion to higher positions. She has many friends who are ready to be
with her and help her in need. My sister’s life is good in my opinion.

If we are not honest, others do not respect us. If we lie to someone for
the first time, he or she may doubt at us next time. Not getting the belief,
we easily fail to succeed in doing many things. Therefore, lying does not
give us benefits. In the case that we are a good liar, we will. However,
finally the truth may be found out. The next fact is that no one will trust
us. Then come serious problems. For example, when I ask make
questions to my friend and get information which is not true. When I
come to know the fact, I will not believe in her sayings for the next time.
Unbelievable, she is of course a good friend at all. The friendship
between her and me may become worse. I no longer respect the friend.

Dishonesty can put those who lie in difficult situations. When the truth
does come out things get bad and problems start to happen. For
example, being dishonest in workplace causes coworkers to be not fond
of working with us. The liar gets trouble in fulfilling his or her job with the
coworkers. The fact that a person does not perform well enough in job
can make him or her get fired.

Being honest give us comfortable feelings to our life. Liars often worry
that the truth can be uncovered. They must remember things which are
true and also other ones which are not. They must act so that others can
not uncover the fact. In some situations, liars say the truth to these
people but tell lies to the others. Therefore, they must bear in mine

whom that she told the truth about the problem and whom she did not.
Living such a life is a hard job to do.

As can be seen, honesty is a good way to live. Knowing this, we will be a

good person in others’ eyes. If we are honest, we are living in a realistic
world of our own. Otherwise, we are living in our own play where we do
not live our own life but act it.

HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY

A very good morning to the honourable judges, my dear teachers and
fellow friends.
Today I am going to talk about an English proverbs that says
‘Honesty is the best policy’. Allow me to define the meaning first.
Honesty, simply means of being honest, noble and righteousness. The
word policy means a principle or strategy that is chosen as a guideline
and the way forward. Putting it all together, the proverb stresses, that the
act of honesty is the best action rather than not being honest.
Sometimes in our daily life we are often being tested weather to
talk the truth or not. For example when we didn’t do our homework that
our teacher asked us to do; we lied to the teacher that we left it at home.
Or when mother asks us to buy something at the grocery store, but
instead you use the money to buy something else. That is very wrong.

When you are being dishonest, you are not a trustworthy person.
People will not believe in you anymore. A dishonest worker will not be
trusted by his employer, thus, he will loose the privileges that he had
enjoyed this while. Friends will walk away from a friend who are
dishonest. They don’t respect you because you have betrayed them with
your dishonesty.
If we lie to someone for the first time, he or she may doubt at us
next time. Therefore lying does not give us benefit. Even if you are a
good liar, the truth may be find out.
When the truth does come out, things will get bad and problems
starts to happen. For example being dishonest in a workplace, causes
co-workers to be not fond of working with us. We will be isolated and
rejected.
Being honest gives you comfortable feelings to our life. Liars often
worry that the truth can be uncovered. They live their life in fear, that the
lies they kept will be known to the world. Living such a life is a miserable
thing.
As can be seen, honesty is a good way to live. Knowing this, we
will be a good person in others eyes. If we are honest, we are living in a
realistic world of our own. Otherwise, we living in our own play, where
we do not live our life but only act on it.
