 Why honesty is always the best policy

Most of us use lies from time to time to avoid difficult

situations and hide our feelings or intentions. However
lying always comes with a price whilst the truth is
invaluable. Here are a few reasons why you should always
be honest:

•The truth will always come out, so by lying you are only
'buying time' but it will probably be worse when it's revealed
that you lied as well.
•You will feel better about yourself if you are honest and
open.
 Why honesty is always the best policy

• Others will be able to trust you and trust is the basis for
all relationships.
• Others will seek your honest advice and opinion.
• You won't have to remember and maintain a web of
lies. Lies usually lead to more lies to cover up the initial
lies, creating a vicious cycle.
• Lying is an easy way out, by being honest you learn to
tackle difficult or uncomfortable situations and grow as
a person.
Why honesty is always the best policy
ALWAYS
• Convince yourself that it's better to be honest: if you
don't believe it then you will resort to a lie as soon as
the situation starts to take a negative turn.
• See it as an opportunity to develop: being open and
honest communication are valuable soft skills for
your personal and professional life. So each situation
where you can practice makes you better at it!
