The Truth Is So Absolutely Good It Never Hurts The Teller

Truth telling is fundamental to success in all aspects of our lives. Telling the truth is often difficult; failure to do so is personally expensive.

When are we most tempted to lie? When a deliverable is late, our efforts have been unsuccessful or lying serves a selfish purpose. By hiding the truth and covering up failures, we only deceive ourselves. The truth always becomes known.

"I put off doing the work because I thought I could get away with moving the due date. I was wrong and I regret not completing the work on time. It won't happen again."

"I lied when I told you I had not had an increase in 18 months. In fact, I have been given two increases, one at 6 months and one at 12 months. I thought because you were my new boss, I could get away with this pretense. I am sorry for misleading you."

Others will always respect honesty, integrity and trust worthiness. A reputation as a truth teller is the foundation for both self respect and winning the admiration of others.

"Truth is always the strongest argument". - Sophocles
