In the face of temptation, I don't feel heartbroken and confused about it. Although it is as plain as a cloud and as simple as running water, it makes people appreciate a kind of high mountain and deep sea. This is a shining character-honesty.
A cargo ship is sailing in the smoky Atlantic Ocean. A black boy doing chores at the stern accidentally fell into the rough Atlantic Ocean. The child shouted for help, but the wind and waves were so urgent that no one on board heard him. He watched helplessly as the cargo ship went farther and farther with the waves. ...
The instinct of survival made the child swim desperately in the cold water. He waved his thin arms with all his strength, trying to keep his head out of the water and staring at the direction of the ship.
The farther away the ship is, the smaller the hull is. In the end, everything was visible, leaving only the endless Wang Yang. The child is exhausted and can't swim any more. He felt that he was going to sink. Give up, he said to himself. At this time, he remembered the kind face and friendly eyes of the old captain. No, the captain knows I fell into the sea, and he will come to save me! Thinking of this, the child summoned up the courage to use his life, and his last strength swam forward again. ...
The captain finally found that the black child was missing. When he concluded that the child had fallen into the sea, he ordered to go back and look for it. At this time, someone advised, "After such a long time, even if I didn't drown, I was eaten by a shark ..." The captain hesitated and decided to go back and look for it. Others said, "Is it worth being a slave's child?" The captain shouted, "Shut up!"
Finally, at the last moment when the child was about to sink, the captain arrived and saved the child.
When the child woke up and knelt on the ground to thank the captain for saving his life, the captain helped the child up and asked, "Son, how can you persist for so long?"
The child replied, "I know you will come to save me, and you will!" " "
"How did you know I would come to save you?"
"Because I know who you are!"
Hearing this, Captain White-haired sat down in front of Hei Hai and burst into tears: "Son, I didn't save you, you saved me!" I was ashamed of my hesitation at that time ... "
It is also a kind of happiness that a person can be trusted by others. It is a kind of happiness to think of you when others are desperate and believe that you will save them.

There is a story: in ancient times, two scholars met on the way to Beijing to catch the exam and hit it off at once. Unfortunately, Scholar A suddenly fell ill, and Scholar B stayed to take care of him. Seeing that the examination period is approaching, Scholar A is worried that Scholar B will miss the examination period and advises him to hurry on his way. Scholar B refused and said, "It is not a gentleman's behavior to abandon friends and pursue fame and profit." So, he continued to wait on scholar B in front of his sickbed, serving soup and water, decocting medicine and feeding rice, in every possible way. By the time he recovered, the examination period had passed. Scholar A was deeply moved and invited Scholar B to get together at home next Dragon Boat Festival. Scholar B generously promised to be there or be square. On the fifth day of May of the following year, Scholar A slaughtered pigs and sheep and prepared a feast for the arrival of Scholar B. However, to my disappointment, I didn't see any sign of Scholar B from morning till night. That night, scholar A suddenly saw scholar B sweating profusely and said, "Brother, I'm really sorry. I forgot the appointment because of trivial matters, and suddenly I remembered it too late. Anyway, I couldn't catch up with my brother." I heard that ghosts travel very fast, so I turned myself into a ghost to meet my brother. Fortunately, I arrived as scheduled and didn't break my word. "A scholar got a fright, and then he got scared, thinking that his brother was dead, and since then, Yin and Yang are separated, what's the point of living? When my heart was crossed, I also committed suicide and forgot myself, and I was with scholar B.
The story is illusory, but it is also very touching. In order to practice an agreement-an oral agreement that has no legal effect on today's people, I would rather give up my life than break my word, and see how sacred the ancients regarded honesty, which eclipsed the omnipotent money.

Honesty means giving, sacrificing and returning. Sometimes, generous returns can't be calculated by money.
There is a female accountant in Shenyang with a college degree, but she was laid off. In order to survive, she and a group of laid-off women workers started knitting, which attracted the attention of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and won them a Korean order-knitting wool hats. Customers keep prices low, quality requirements are extremely strict, and time is tight. In order to win credibility and get more and better orders, they would rather suffer than agree. However, when they delivered the first batch of goods, the customer changed the drawings, from raw materials to varieties, but the delivery time could not be delayed by one day. This is simply a breach of contract, and it is very difficult! But the customer is "God" and God is always right. -Are you doing it or not? The eyes of Korean female bosses are all provocative. They are ruthless, throwing caution to the wind and signing the contract! They know how risky this commitment is. Maybe everyone will lose everything! They worked day and night, forgot to eat and sleep, almost to the extent of "madness", and finally completed the order with good quality and quantity as scheduled. The harsh Korean female boss was moved and bowed to the laid-off female workers. Then, orders came one after another, and their knitting team expanded again and again and developed into an army of ten thousand people! Tens of thousands of laid-off women workers have opened new employment doors and settled down. Perhaps, their economic value can be calculated from the perspective of income generation. However, a huge vulnerable group changed its face overnight, rekindled its confidence and rebuilt itself. Who can figure out its social value? And all this comes from the generous promise of the last stop.

Chi Li is a novelist familiar to readers. The Writers Publishing House signed a contract with it to create the novel Good Morning, Miss. Less than 10 days before the delivery date, the computer suddenly broke down, and the completed 65438+ million-word manuscript was swept away instantly. He sat in front of the computer, and his mind was blank. What should we do to explain the situation to the publishing house and try to delay the deadline for submission? Special circumstances, expect the editor to understand and understand. Chi Li didn't do that. Since you promised others, how can you break your word? Breaking a promise is no different from breaking a promise, so we should not underestimate it. As a result, it reduced the rest time to the maximum extent, preferring to be "unkempt" and unkempt, but also rushing to write the manuscript day and night, just as scheduled. In just over a week, people lost a circle, and both hands knocking on the keyboard were almost numb. After learning the inside story, the publishing house was deeply moved. What is more important is Chi Li's trustworthiness and her character. A famous writer who is deeply loved by readers does not put on airs and become a celebrity, but keeps his word. Can his personality charm be measured by money? Of course not.
Le Yangzi's wife: honest, sober and virtuous.
Le Yangzi's wife was a famous virtuous wife in Luoyang in Han Dynasty. She is honest, kind, knowledgeable and polite. Although her family is poor, she loves herself very much. She never takes anything from others, even what she finds.
One day, Yueyangzi's wife went to work in other places, and only Yueyangzi's sister was at home. When she saw the neighbor's hen running into her vegetable field, she thought, Sister-in-law regards me as her sister, and works hard for her brother's studies all day, and she can't eat meat several times a year. It's better to kill this chicken and stew it for her to eat and mend her body. So she caught the hen and killed it.
In the evening, Le Yangzi's wife came back from working in the field and saw the chicken in the bowl. She asked, "Sister, we have many chickens at home. Where did this chicken come from? "
Sister Le Yangzi dared not bully her sister-in-law and answered truthfully.
Hearing this, my sister-in-law said, "Although we are poor, we can't take other people's things in any case. Think about it, this is also a chicken that people have worked hard to raise. How can I eat for free? " Then he caught the biggest hen in his own chicken pen and sent it to his neighbor's house to apologize to him.
Le Yangzi's sister was moved by her sister-in-law's honesty and kindness, and she didn't covet petty advantages. She not only admitted her mistake, but also secretly vowed in her heart that she would learn from her sister-in-law and be an honest and upright person in the future.
On another occasion, Le Yangzi found a piece of gold on the road and happily took it home and gave it to his wife. The wife asked, "Where did this gold come from?"
Le Yangzi said, "I picked it up on the road."
The wife said, "This is someone else's business. We can't have it. "
Le Yangzi argued: "I can't find the owner anyway, so it doesn't matter if I stay."
The wife said seriously, "what others have is what others have." Even if they accidentally throw it away, you can't keep it for yourself. It is said that ambitious people don't even drink the spring water, which is called "stealing the spring", and honest people don't want it. It is dishonest to leave this piece of gold for petty gain. You got this gold, but you lost the noble character of honesty, integrity and self-discipline. "
Le Yangzi felt ashamed and threw the gold into the wild.
Later, Le Yangzi went to other places to study, and went home to visit his wife halfway because he missed his wife. Le Yangzi's wife picked up scissors to cut the cloth she was knitting and said, "Only by persistent efforts can she weave a long cloth. You always go home, just like cutting cloth on a loom, it is difficult to achieve great things. "
Le Yangzi was very moved. He went out to study for seven years and didn't come home. Finally, he achieved something.
