Honesty is one of the most treasured traditional values in China. The children are taught to be honest when they are very young. At schools the students are also instructed to be honest.
    However, with the development of society, we often hear complaints about dishonesty. Reports with the theme of dishonesty often appear in the media. For example, some people try to get rich and live a comfortable life. But they do not work hard honestly, instead they cheat others. They sell something quite ordinary at a very high price. Some people's delaying paying back the loan can serve as another example. Some people, including some college students, get loan from the bank, and promise to pay within, say, 3 years. However, they don't do that.
    The dishonest people sometimes can get benefit from their behaviors. So some people assert that dishonesty can bring people benefit, while honesty only makes people suffer. Is that so? Definitely not. It is always true that honesty is the best policy. It pays to be honest. The cheater selling “the treasure” mentioned above will surely be disclosed and punished some day.
    On the contrary, if he had been honest, neither the buyer nor he himself would have suffered. The people who do not return money in time will sooner or later become infamous, and will not get the money from others again. If he had acted differently, he would have earned respect and trust, meanwhile, the bank would not have suffered from loss.
    誠實(shí)是最珍貴的傳統(tǒng)價值觀之一在中國。孩子們被教導(dǎo)他們很年輕的時候說實(shí)話。在學(xué)校的學(xué)生也指示要誠實(shí)。 然而,隨著社會的發(fā)展,我們經(jīng)常聽到的抱怨不誠實(shí)。報(bào)告的主題不誠實(shí)經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)在媒體上。例如,一些人致富,過上舒適的生活。但他們不努力工作,老實(shí)說,相反,他們欺騙別人。他們賣一些很普通的代價非常高昂。一些人的延遲償還貸款可以作為另一個例子。一些人,包括一些大學(xué)生,從銀行獲得貸款,和付款承諾,說,3年。然而,他們不這樣做。 不誠實(shí)的人們有時可以從他們的行為中獲益。所以一些人斷言不誠實(shí)可以使人受益,而誠實(shí)只會讓人痛苦。是這樣嗎?絕對不會。它總是真實(shí)的,誠實(shí)是的政策。誠實(shí)是有好處的。上面提到的騙子賣“寶藏”有一天肯定會公布處罰。 相反,如果他是誠實(shí)的,無論是買方還是他自己就會受到影響。不及時退貨的人遲早會變得臭名昭著,也不會得到別人的錢了。如果他采取完全不同的行動,他就會贏得尊重和信任,與此同時,銀行就不會遭受損失。
