Honesty is a virtue worth developing and keeping. It is one
of the greatest virtues that you should adhere to in your life with the belief
that it is an important aspect of human character. Deviating from the same
causes harm to both the individual and society as a whole. Perhaps the most valued
and respected quality you can develop is a reputation for absolute integrity. Be
perfectly honest in everything you do and in every transaction and activity.
Honesty is interpreted in various ways. For some it is a
philosophy while for others it is a religion. The word honesty denotes being
trustworthy and loyal. Whatever the interpretation the prime objective behind
observing honesty is selflessness and maintaining cordial relations in family
and society. Thus, honesty is a great human virtue that plays vital roles in
every aspect of human life.
The path of honesty is hard. You need to have patience to
reap benefit from it. However, people these days seem to be choosing
short-cut methods derived from greed and lust for which they become dishonest.
Today unrest, suffering and miseries of families and society are mainly due to
dishonesty. Tempted by instant results people tend to opt for wrong paths, but
the same ultimately becomes a cause of sufferings.
An honest person is the one who corrects his /her
mistakes. Only an honest person bears the ability for forgiveness. An
honest person can achieve anything he\\she desires. An honest member of family
and society has much impact in public and private sphere. All successful
business is based on trust.
Your success will be determined solely by the number of
people who trust you and who are willing to work for you, give you credit, lend
you money, buy your products and services, and help you during difficult times.
Your character is the most important asset that you develop in your entire
life, and your character is based on the amount of integrity that you practice.
Live in truth with everyone. Never do or say anything that
you do not believe to be right and good and honest. Refuse to compromise your
integrity for anything. Always live up to the very highest standard that you
know. Carry yourself as though everyone were watching you and patterning his or
her behavior after yours. And when in doubt, always do the right thing,
whatever it is and whatever it costs.
There is no other virtue that can replace this great human virtue.
Honesty teaches you to respect self and be genuine to others. Stay honest with
yourself, be honest with others and always come from a loving place. Virtues
are the essence of our character and when you keep the virtue of honesty at the
heart of everyday life, we live a significant life and will definitely win in
life.
