Honesty is the basic principle of being a man, the core of good morality and the foundation of all kinds of good character.
1. Honesty means seeking truth from facts, which looks like telling the truth and doing practical things, without hypocrisy, exaggeration or whitewashing.
2. Honest people are honest with themselves, that is, they don't deceive themselves, have an open mind, don't say anything against their will, and don't do anything against their will.
3. Honest people are sincere to others, don't tell lies, don't do false things, match words with deeds, and keep their promises.
Honesty and trustworthiness can establish good interpersonal relationships, lay a solid career foundation and achieve solid life achievements.
Only when everyone is honest and trustworthy can social order be orderly and civilization progress be possible.
To learn honesty, we must understand the importance of commitment. No matter how big or small, once you make a promise, you should keep it. A person's credit is established by consistent honest and trustworthy behavior, so we can't despise every promise of ourselves.
"Forgetting righteousness over profit" means forgetting virtue over profit.
