林肯 诚实至上
There is an English proverb saying "Honesty is the best policy." Which signifies the importance of honesty.
What are the benefits of honesty?If you are honest to others,they will be honest to you in return.When you are sad,they will comfort you.When you are in trouble,they will help you.
Honesty is regard as the traditional virtue of our Chinese nation.Through the ages,people stress sincerity,praise highly sincerity.It has already incorporated the blood of our national culture.
It is usually better to be honest than dishonest.Sometimes honesty may get you in trouble or hurt someone,but on the whole telling the truth is less harmful than lying.Dishonesty can result in guilty feelings,cause distrust among people and even ruin your reputation.
One of the worse things about lying is that it causes a guilty conscience.Even if no one ever discovers the lie,you will know about it and it will bother you for a long time.Another problem occurs when others know about your lies.As a result,people will not trust you any longer and you will lose your reputation and all your friends.Do you still remember the boy who cried wolf for several times so no one would trust him?At last all his sheep were eaten by the wolf.His dishonesty brought him shame as well as damage.
So to sum up,honesty not only brings us honor and friendship,but also material gains.Honesty is the best policy we can take.
