Is honesty still the best policy?
A success behaviour to learn, and grow with is honesty, and an audacious veracity for that matter. Do you imagine what a fake world put together this existence would be if everyone and you were but a grumpy ‘con-man’? A journey to nowhere it would be, a motion without progression!
It’s said of a master who remarked someday that the problem with the world is that people wouldn’t just grow. Just in the nick of time, a ruffled disciple then asked when it would be reckoned as when people have grown up, reacting to his master’s spoken thoughts; the master retorted that people would have grown up by the time they have learnt how not to lie about anything whatsoever.
The world is filled with people who are deceiving people, without leaving themselves out! In fact religion might not help it in the least, regardless of your belief, still in that circle of your faith, there are folks which can contest head-to-head with the figure of the Wicked One in telling lies.
Is honesty still the best policy?
For anyone who wants to master success, there should come a point in time where you would rather fail than lie or cheat, like the sixteenth American President said in one of his memorable words.
How your likelihood in pursuit after significance drops almost irredeemeably with the ability to lie engaged in!
The reason why dishonesty will always fail is because the creation with His Creator is against it. Artfulness being a form of wickedness, the world wouldn’t go far with it, and your own world too.
Have you seen any establishment with long records of double dealings and yet such is still appealing to the clients? And you know that it is workers which make up establishment function, so definitely if it wouldn’t support any collective corporation, neither would it support an individual person.
The fact that you build your reputation just by mere truth-telling is an invaluable credential in the world where truth-dealers are wanting, it’s a law with necessary feedback, unerringly to the source where it springs from. If it doesn’t speak now, never you silence its effects by thinking honesty doesn’t pay again and then hurt afterward your chance of success. Haven’t you heard about the law of compensation? Would those that deceive not be deceived?
This earned the great Lincoln ‘Honesty Abe’. This was great lengthy time ever before he appeared renowned. You would be happy for him to read of his detailed fine practices even as a lawyer for about twenty years. ‘He was a fool, perhaps, by certain standards. He didn’t have much, and it was his own fault. But he was a good human being by anyone’s standard, and I’m glad we celebrate his birthday.’
What of confidence of people, old and young you tend to gain by being honest? Is healthy, total trust not harder to earn than a million-worth money of any currency?
You too act like someone going somewhere (of course you are going somewhere to appear larger than now), knowing for real that your success behaviour in the name of candid truthfulness will still be mentioned, even when day closes.
Let this article bind you more to the confidence of forthrightness, more and more. If it doesn’t speak now, it will voice out later on when it will. In your business, in your friendship, in your relationship, in your dealings, in your life, in your world…include a watchword of truth.
Honesty be a viable seed, which the earth can’t cover its glory for ever, it must surely sprout to be recognised.
See you in grander success!
