做事应讲诚信(Honesty)
when it comes to honesty, quite a lot of people believe it is essential to a person’s character and success. they base their idea on the following reasons: on one hand, successful business owes much to mutual trust; on another hand, great people in history such as abraham lincoln and genete washington set us good examples of being honest, they are great because they are honest.
but some people think differently. they believe honesty is becoming out of date. their reasons run as following: to begin with, cheating on exams is becoming more and more popular; in addition, some singers and movie stars cheat on taxes; last but not the least, if you are not careful enough, you’ll buy some defective goods and fake products.
it is high time we emphasized and encouraged honesty. we can take effective measures to restore it. for example, kids should be taught to tell truth, strict rules and regulations should be carried out to stop cheatings on exams and taxes, etc.
