Eight Great Reasons to Tell the Truth

Barbara A. Lewis

1. Telling the truth lets everyone know what really happened. There's less chance of misunderstanding, confusion, or conflict. 

2. Telling the truth protects innocent people from being blamed or punished. 

3. Telling the truth allows everyone to learn from what happened. 

4. You usually get into less trouble for telling the truth other than for lying (and getting caught).

5. Other people trust you more when you tell the truth. 

6. You don't have to tell (and remember) more lies to keep your story straight.

7. You gain a reputation for being truthful - a trait most people value.

8. Telling the truth helps you to feel secure and peaceful inside. 

I agree with the following reasons listed. These are great reasons to remain truthful. These statements are true. By follwing these, you better your character. By following these reasons, you can become the best person you can be. No one likes to be with someone who is dishonest and not trustworthy. For example, if you do the complete opposite of these then you will only worsen yourself. Following this brings oneself at peace. When truthful, someones conscience is free of bad thought. Having a guilty mind is never true freedom.

STUDENT SUCCESS STATEMENT

'' Ask yourself is it right or wrong and act accordingly.'' - Otto Graham Jr. I agree with this quote. It serves as a good conscience reminder and guide. When ever in doubt it would do good to remind yourself of it. For example, when you are not able to take action because you are unsure if what you are about to do is right or wrong, think of this. Or if you know you made the right choice then act accordingly. Once you decide, make sure to act upon your choice. Do not let your good decision go to waste. Do not make one choice and act the complete opposite. Do not decide something good and end up acting bad. It should not and does not work that way. Choose right and act right, there is never no bad options. Always act properly. Ask yourself for guidance. Never behave recklessly. Think then act only if it is from a good mindset and purpose.

STUDENT SUCCESS STATEMENT

''They're only truly great who are truly good.'' - George Chapman You can define greatness if you first act out of good. In order to be good you must put others before you. The real greatness is not strength or reputation, it is the good acts committed. You can not be great if you are living with a soul purpose to wreck havoc and spread a negative mood.  For example, you cannot be great by bullying someone. Bullying is not a positive act. It is not a tolerable act in the eyes of good will. Greatness comes to those who are selfless and whom to not have a rotten heart. You cannot be greedy and selfish and attain greatness all at once. Where there is anything but pureness and good, there will never be an ounce of great.
