Honesty means that your heart is consistent with your words and deeds, and you are not false. Keeping promise means keeping credit and keeping the promise. Credit is a person's intangible wealth. Honesty and trustworthiness are referred to as honesty. The so-called integrity refers to being sincere, honest, and trustworthy in dealing with others, keeping promises and keeping promises. Honesty has been a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation since ancient times. "Being honest, telling the truth, doing honest things, being honest, being honest, being fair and upright" is the basic requirement of being a man. Niu Gensheng, the boss of Mengniu Group, has a famous saying, "Small victories depend on wisdom, great victories depend on morality, and all victories depend on the Tao, and work hard and be honest". It means that a small victory depends on ingenuity, that is, cleverness, and a big victory depends on virtue, that is, doing things seriously and being practical. Success depends on the Tao, that is, to act according to objective laws, not to steal and cheat, to be honest, and to be honest and trustworthy is the foundation of being a man. The ancients said that those who touched people with sincerity should also respond with sincerity; If you cheat others, people will also cheat them. It's like action and reaction, how you treat others, others will treat you. Therefore, to be a successful person with a smooth official career, one must be sincere in dealing with others, be consistent in words and deeds, and be consistent in appearance, so as to be the same on and off the stage and the same after others. We often praise a person for keeping his reputation and promises, which is called "keeping a promise as good as a thousand dollars". Do you know the origin of this idiom? During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the overlord had a general-Ji Bu. Ji Bu is usually kind, charitable and warm-hearted. He tries his best to deal with things that others ask him, which has won people's praise. When Ji Bu was under Xiang Yu, he defeated Liu Bang many times. Xiang Yu committed suicide after defeat, and Liu Bang offered a reward for the capture of Ji Bu. However, due to Ji Bu's popularity, he was never caught. After the intercession of Ruyin Hou Tenggong, Liu Bangcai revoked the wanted order, and named Ji Bu as Zhonglang, and soon changed to Hedong Prefecture. At that time, there was a man named Cao Qiusheng, who liked to make friends with powerful officials. He heard that Ji Bu had changed from a prisoner to a son of heaven overnight, and he was specially introduced to Ji Bu. When Ji Bu saw Cao Qiusheng, his face showed disgust. Cao Qiusheng, on the other hand, bowed down and said to Ji Bu in surprise: "I heard from the Chu people that getting a hundred pounds of gold is not worth a promise made by Ji Bu." Then Cao Qiuzheng said, "Your reputation is so great that it has nothing to do with me spreading it around?" Ji Bu was very happy after hearing Cao Qiusheng's words. He thought that the reason why his reputation was so great was originally related to Cao Qiusheng's propaganda. Later, people summarized this story as "a promise is as good as a thousand dollars", which is used to mean paying attention to promises and keeping promises.

Zi Zhi Tong Jian records an incredible thing for modern people, the story of Emperor Taizong Li Shimin and 39 prisoners. At the end of the sixth year of Zhenguan (AD 632), Emperor Taizong Li Shimin personally reviewed the case. When Taizong saw more than 3 death row inmates, he felt very sorry for them. He made an imperial edict: All of them should be put home and reunited with their families, and they should be executed in Beijing in the autumn of one year. Then Taizong gave another order: put all the death row prisoners in the whole country back, and come to Beijing next year to ask questions together. As a result, all 39 death row inmates in China have returned home. In the seventh year of Zhenguan (A.D. 633), 39 death row prisoners were released from all over the country, and all of them returned to Chang 'an on time without any leader or supervisor. None of them escaped or hid. Finally, Emperor Taizong pardoned all these death row prisoners.

in western countries with developed market economy, credit is regarded as the second life of people. Once you lose the credit you deserve, the consequences are unimaginable. We haven't realized the importance of credit, and there are countless disasters caused by not keeping credit in history.

the story of "wolf coming" has been circulated for decades, and adults have been using it to educate their children. The hero of the wolf comes, because he always tells lies, loses his integrity and finally dies in the wolf's belly.

To be a man, we should talk about conscience, and to promote social progress, we should talk about loyalty. Loyalty is not imaginary, it needs a little emotional foundation, and the most important thing is to have a grateful heart. The horse has the meaning of hanging the reins, the dog has the grace of wet grass, the lamb kneels and suckles to repay the mother's kindness, and the unjust person hates it. The allusion that a horse has the meaning of hanging a rein comes from Li Ruzhen's "The Edge of Mirror Flowers", which tells that Fu Jian, the former emperor of the Qin Dynasty, was defeated and fled in a battle with Rong Chong. Unexpectedly, I slipped and fell into the cave, and I couldn't climb up. At this critical juncture, his mount suddenly knelt at the edge of the ravine and lowered the reins. Fu Jian grabbed the reins and climbed up, only to get out of trouble. Dogs have the grace of wet grass. It is said that during the Taihe period of the Tang Dynasty, Yang Sheng, a native of Guangling, had a dog that never left his side. On a cold winter day, Yang Sheng was lying drunk in the weeds, and the wind was fierce when he met the fire. The situation was urgent. When the dog barked and the owner didn't wake up, he jumped into the cold water several times to wet the hay around with water, so that the owner could escape. Animals still know how to repay kindness. How much more people!

Being a man needs to be grateful. Being kind is bound to be rewarded with kindness. Kindness is a bright light that lights up our lives. Everyone must know the story of Alexander Fleming's two rescues of Randolph Churchill. Fleming is a famous British bacteriologist. He first discovered penicillin, found a powerful bactericidal drug for human beings, and ended the era when infectious diseases were almost incurable, thus creating a medical miracle. In fact, Fleming's life is also inextricably linked with Churchill, a famous British politician. Fleming saved Churchill from death twice, and Churchill also helped Fleming a lot in his career. Their fate has to start from childhood. One day in the late 19th century, in a country in England, a gentleman and several children came from the city to the river at the head of the village for an outing. Everyone played together and had a good time. Suddenly, one of the children accidentally slipped into the fast-flowing river, and the child's life was at stake. The people who went with them were in a panic for a while, but they were not very good at water, so they had to worry. They shouted for help. At this time, a country child who was herding cattle nearby rushed over after hearing the cry for help, jumped into the river regardless of his life, and finally rescued the child who fell into the water. The child who was saved was Churchill, and it was little Fleming who saved him. The Churchill family was very grateful to Fleming for his courageous behavior, so they promised to fund Fleming to go to school for further study. This is the first time Fleming saved Churchill. After several decades, Fleming was in charge of scientific experiments on cultivating bacteria in a well-known university after finishing his studies. At that time, medical research was still in its infancy, and it was very difficult to cultivate bacteria because of the limitations of conditions and environment. The culture solution in Petri dishes was moldy, which was often caused by factors such as temperature. Once moldy, the nutrient solution was discarded and the experiment had to be done again. In this case, other colleagues always sigh and throw away the nutrient solution casually, but Fleming didn't just throw away the spoiled culture solution. Fleming carefully studied the abandoned Petri dishes thrown away by his colleagues and got inspiration from them. Through the microscope, he discovered the secret that the mold invading the Petri dish devoured the bacteria in the culture solution. Fleming finally succeeded in extracting "penicillin" which can fight the deadly bacteria, that is, "penicillin" which is still saving lives today. Coincidentally, it didn't take Fleming long to discover penicillin. Churchill, who has become the British Prime Minister, got pneumonia that could kill people under the medical conditions at that time. The doctors had no choice but to stare blankly at this "terminal disease". Churchill's life was at stake. At this time, it was suggested to try the newly invented new drug-penicillin. But Churchill was very angry when he heard this method. He resolutely opposed it and claimed: "I will definitely not do the experimental new drug' white mouse'." When a friend of Churchill heard about this, he quickly told Churchill, "The scientist who invented penicillin is Fleming!" " When Churchill heard this, he immediately took a 18-degree turn and happily agreed to use penicillin. He said, "If it is the result of my savior Fleming, I will try. He once saved me from the river, and I think he won't hurt me this time. " Sure enough, Churchill got better soon after taking the medicine. He led the European Allies during World War II, successfully defeated fascism and became one of the famous prime ministers in British history. This time, Fleming saved Churchill's life again.

good and evil will be rewarded in the end. Gratitude is the foundation of our family harmony and the source of our happy life. Gratitude is the guarantee of our career success.

There is more trust and less suspicion between people. More honesty, less cleverness. Trust is a precious thing, no one can buy it with money, and no one can win it by force. Trust is an indispensable resource for a person's career success. As a gentleman, honesty is the foundation of being a man, the foundation of society, the backbone of the nation, the demeanor of standing in the world and the conscience of being a man. In contrast, honesty is more noble than cleverness. Many people may not believe it, but I do. Wang Xifeng, the housekeeper of Jiafu, was "too clever". He clearly "ate the plaintiff and ate the defendant", but said that he didn't care about the money at all. He deliberately and unscrupulously used deception to satisfy greed. As a result, cleverness was turned into cleverness. Qianlong's minions and gentry are extremely clever. He used his intelligence to ponder the emperor's wishes, cater to the king's wishes, play politics, take bribes and collect money, and eventually aroused public anger. He was given the death by Emperor Jiaqing, eroding the "book" of the first half of his life and "mistakenly killing Qing Qing."

cleverness is a person's gift, while honesty is a good choice. Chinese people advocate intelligence, because Chinese people think that intelligence is a symbol of wisdom, and intelligence can create miracles. This is misleading. In fact, it is more difficult for smart people to succeed, because they are often mistaken for smart people. Smart people always seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. They don't want to do dangerous things and refuse to think about difficult things. Because I am too smart, I know where there is profit and where it is more labor-saving. Because they are too smart, they care too much, they don't pay attention to the process, or they can do whatever it takes. Winning or losing depends only on the result. Whether to act in accordance with the prior regulations in the process and whether to be clever or not is not investigated. For example: Tian Ji horse racing, up against up, middle against middle, down against down, this is the rule of horse racing since ancient times. According to this rule, Tian Ji lost to the King of Qi every time. This is easy to accept, because the horse of the King of Qi is definitely a higher level than that of his subordinate Tian Ji. Who told him that he was the king? And Tian Ji listened to Sun Bin's advice ... As a result, everyone knows that Tian Ji won the game, but what he lost-credit and personality.

Let's recall the story of Song Dingbo selling ghosts. There is a man named Song Dingbo in Nanyang. One night, he suddenly met a ghost. Because of his courage, he asked the ghost,' What ghost are you?' The ghost was very surprised and asked Song Dingbo,' Who are you?' Song Dingbo thought it was interesting, so he lied to him and said,' I am a ghost, too.' When the ghost heard this, he was very happy and asked,' Where are you going?' Song Dingbo said,' I want to go to Wanshi.' The ghost said,' Great! I'm going, too, so let's make a company!' So they walked forward together. After walking a few miles, the ghost found that Song Dingbo walked too slowly, and there was still a long way to go to Wan City, so he said to Song Dingbo in a hurry,' You walk so slowly! Tell you what, let's carry each other for a while, so I don't have to wait for you, so I'm not tired and I can speed up, okay?' Good!' Song Dingbo readily agreed. So, the ghost first carried Song Dingbo for a while, and the ghost asked strangely,' Why are you so heavy? Ordinary ghosts are very light. You may not be a ghost!' Song Dingbo tactfully replied:' I am a newly dead ghost, so my body is heavier, so you don't have to worry.' After a while, it was Song Dingbo's ghost. Ghosts are as light as cotton wool, so Song Dingbo carried them on his back for miles without blowing off dust. Then I switched to ghost-backed Song Dingbo. Although the ghost felt that Song Dingbo was really heavy and cheated on himself, the idea was put forward by himself and he could not break his word, so he had to submit to humiliation. But Song Dingbo exulted:' Hey! Today, I saved a sum of money for traveling and horses, and I found a good porter without spending money!' The two men repeatedly rotated their backs several times, and the two sides gradually became familiar with each other. Song Dingbo thought:' Ghosts are ghosts after all. If you know that I am human, it may harm me. I should sound it out and see if there are any ways to subdue ghosts?' He thought about it, and suddenly he had a plan. Song Dingbo pretended to be modest and sincere and asked the ghost:' I'm a newly dead ghost, and I'm not familiar with our ghosts. Dude, you're well informed. Can you tell me what ghosts are most afraid of? So that I can protect myself in the future.' As soon as the ghost heard the compliment, he felt proud and told Song Dingbo,' We ghosts are quite miraculous, but we are most afraid of people's saliva. As soon as people spit on us, we will be finished. You can be careful about this in the future!' Ha! Fooled!' Song Dingbo exulted. Walking, they came to a river. The ghost passed first and floated silently across the river. When Song Dingbo crossed the river, he made the water rattle. The ghost felt strange again:' How did you make such a loud noise when crossing the river? What if someone hears you?' Song Dingbo said with a sad face:' Alas! I'm worried, too, but you know, I'm a new ghost, and I haven't learned many ghost skills yet, so I can't do it lightly when crossing the river. Please don't blame me. " Hearing Song Dingbo's sigh, the ghost sympathized with him instead, and was more considerate to Song Dingbo along the way. At the end of the city of Nanyang, Song Dingbo slammed the ghost on his shoulder and started to run. What are you doing?' The ghost was frightened and shouted for mercy. Song Dingbo ignored its cry, entered the city gate and ran straight to the market. When he came to the market, Song Dingbo put the ghost down. There were many people in the market. At this time, the ghost turned into a sheep and wanted to escape. Song Dingbo immediately spat at it. This time, the ghost can't change back. Song Dingbo shouted happily:' Sell sheep, sell sheep.' Are you selling sheep?' After a while, a man came to buy sheep. After looking at the goods, he offered 15 yuan. Song Dingbo thought that it was picked up anyway, and he didn't bargain, so he made a deal immediately. In this way, Song Dingbo sold the ghost and happily went to do his own thing with money in his arms. Even ghosts have been deceived, let alone people. Smart people pay attention to flexibility, most of them don't obey the rules, don't talk about credibility, and even do whatever it takes. The culture of "whether a white cat or a black cat catches a mouse is a good cat" has been respected for decades, and this logic is incompatible with honesty, trustworthiness, demeanor and personality. Refining gutter oil is profitable and can make money. Is it a good person? Say one thing and do another. There are cultural factors, and more importantly, environmental impact. However, we can't generalize everything, let alone deny everything. There are also many honest and trustworthy sages whose stories have touched generations of Chinese people. By the way, let me tell you the oldest honesty story, which is called "Alliance under the Bridge". Once upon a time, there was a young man named Wei Sheng. One day, the young man met a girl and liked her, so he made an appointment with the girl to meet at Long Bridge the next day. The next day, Wei Sheng arrived at the long bridge as promised, but the girl didn't come, so Wei Sheng lingered at the long bridge waiting for the girl to appear. One hour passed, two hours passed, and many hours passed, but the girl hasn't come yet. It was raining hard, and soon the water at the bottom of the bridge overflowed the pier for a long time, gradually flooding Wei Sheng's body, but Wei Sheng thought of making an appointment with the girl and couldn't break his promise. Finally, it didn't.

It is necessary to stress credit and promise, establish healthy trends, and abandon those duplicitous and opportunistic behaviors. To establish healthy qi, we should start from everyone, open our hearts and thoroughly wash the inside from the inside out.
