Honesty has always been a recognized virtue of people all over the world. Confucius' disciple Zi Si once said, "A gentleman is ashamed of words but not of deeds." This sentence means: "it is very shameful that you make a promise but don't take action." Being honest with others is a person's most basic character and morality.
There is a short story in "Everything is wrong, and the foreign reserves say left". The name of the story is "Ceng Zi Kill the Pig".
Ceng Zi is a student of Confucius. One day, Zeng's wife was going to play in the street, and the child left crying. Zeng's wife said, "Don't cry, son, until mom comes back to kill the pig for you." The child stopped making noise when he heard that there was pork to eat. But when his wife came back, she saw that Zeng Zi was really going to kill the pig and said, "What are you doing? I'm just joking with the children. How can you take it seriously? "
Unexpectedly, Ceng Zi said, "How can you cheat a child? The most important quality of a person is honesty. You will never fail to be honest! " Zeng's wife was speechless and had to kill the pig. This is really a good saying, "words must be done, and actions must be fruitful."
One day, a customer walked into an auto repair shop and claimed to be the driver of the transportation company. He said to the shopkeeper, "Boss, would you please add more parts to my bill?" So I can reimburse more money, and I will give you some. But the shopkeeper said, "No, I can't do that." "But customers still pester me:" My business is not small, I will come to you often, and you can make a lot of money. All you need to do is write two more words. "
The shopkeeper said, "No, I won't do it anyway." The customer said, "I've never seen anyone as stupid as you." Who can do such a good thing? " The shopkeeper was angry, too, and shouted, "Get out at once and talk about your damn business somewhere else."
At this time, the customer smiled and said, "I am the boss of that transportation company." I have been looking for a regular and trustworthy maintenance company. Where do you want me to talk about this business? " In the face of temptation, I am not heartbroken or impressed. Although it is as plain as a cloud and as simple as water, it will make people appreciate that one mountain is high and one sea is deep. This is the power of honesty.
When people live in society, they always associate with others. Treat people sincerely and communicate with others sincerely, so that people can be more sincere and a pure flower of friendship will bloom in the world.
