First theres self-honesty. Is what people see the real article or doyou appear through smoke and mirrors? I find that if I try to be something Im not. I feel unsure of myself and take out a part from my PBA(personal bank account). I love how singer Judy Garland putit. “Always be a first-class version(版本) of yourself, instead of a second-class version of somebody else. ” Then theres honesty in our actions. Are you honest at school, with your parents, and with your boss? If youve ever been dishonest, I think we all have, try being honest, and notice how whole it makes you feel. Remember, you cant do wrong and feel right. This story by Jeff is a good example of that In my second year of study, there were three kids in my math class who didnt do well. I was really good at it. I would charge them three dollars for each test that I helped them pass. Id write on a little piece of paper all the right answers, and hand them off. At first I felt like I was making money, kind of a nice job. I wasnt thinking about how it could hurt all of us. After a while I realized I shouldnt do that any more, because I wasnt really helping them. They werent learning anything, and it would only get harder down the road. Cheating certainly wasnt helping me.It takes courage to be honest when people all around you are getting away with cheating on tests, lying to their parents, and stealing at work. But, remember, every act of honesty is a deposit(储蓄) into you
