How can we get better? By telling the truth
Brian Tracy says it this way, “be impeccably honest”. It seems like such a simple concept and one that we always follow, but the truth is that most of us are dishonest from time to time and we need to correct those occurrences and make them less frequent.
Do you ever catch yourself telling a little white lie? How does it make you feel? Not very good. And usually to keep the lie sounding like the truth, you must continue to lie until you get caught in circle of untruths.
There is a lot written about not telling the truth by many people and even in the bible. Joe Girard, known as “The world’s greatest salesman” says this about telling the truth in his book called How to sell yourself, “[Don’t lie] if you want to sell yourself to others as a person who can be relied upon, who is honorable and honest in all his or her dealings, who can be believed without the so-called shadow of a doubt. [This] truth applies no matter who you are or what you do or where you do it.”
What do you hold as important in your life? Make telling the truth one of those traits you hold above most others. What do you think?
This was a very good post, I found it to not only be very helpful infomation but also touched on what I was researching in good detail. Keep up the work!
Hiya this is my first time commenting on a website, I’ve got to tell you that I love your writing style!
Instead of thinking about “telling the truth,” I have held “honesty” as the name I put to this basic trait that is important to do in my life. Since the two terms mean the same thing, I guess I adopted “telling the truth” and not been aware of it.
I would guess that telling the truth is the most fundamental thing, other than love, that enables a meaningful relationship between people.
Thanks for your post.
yep I know telling the truth means a lot to a lot of people
