The Power of Honesty.

When we embrace honesty in life, a climate of trust develops, leading to healthy attitudes and relationships. Honesty provides an environment for courageous living, free from the time and energy resistance caused by doubts and fears about others.

 "No amount of money can be used to maintain a good name. No matter how well we do, the reward may not come quickly, but if we act with honesty, if we do good in society, we will live on even after we die."

Can honesty be rewarded in the current world situation? Imagine going shopping with a shopkeeper who is always rude to you. You bought some items worth Rs. 70 from there. Then you give him Rs. 100. In return, he gives you Rs. 40 instead of Rs. 30. You didn't notice that at the time. After walking a few steps, you realize that you have received an extra 10 rupees. Now you have two choices - keep the 10 rupees and decide to spend it on yourself, in which case you will feel guilty, or realize that he gave you Rs. 10 by mistake. You decide to go back and give him his money back. This time, things are different. You give the rude shopkeeper his money back, knowing that he will be happy to see you not just once, but all the time. After this, every time you go to his shop, he will greet you with a beautiful smile. This will give you some inner satisfaction. It may be small, but you are happy.

Honesty and wisdom are equally important in life. Being honest does not mean being easily influenced or manipulated. When combined with wisdom, honesty will be beneficial in the long run. Honesty means having a clear and pure heart, filled with love.

Once, in Europe, there was a story of a father and his daughter Sara. As the father lay waiting for death, Sara expressed her disappointment. She told her father, "Daddy, it's unfortunate that you will leave this world without having saved any money. We even live in a rented apartment. You didn't plan for our future at all. Other fathers, whom you call corrupt, manage to save something for their children. But you, Daddy? It's hard for me to look up to you." After saying this, her father passed away, leaving them forever.

Three years later, Sarah went for a job interview at a multinational company. All the key people in the company were present, but the committee chairman interviewed her first.

"Which Smith are you..?"

Sarah replied, "I'm Sarah Smith. My dad is the late Tom Smith.

"Oh my god, are you Tom Smith's daughter?.

Then, he turned to the other members who were with him and said, "Tom Smith is the one who signed my membership form at the Institute of Administrators, and I am here because of his recommendation. He didn't know me, he had never met me, but he did everything for me for free. That's it. He was a good man." After saying this, he said to Sarayotai, "I have no more questions to ask you. Consider yourself hired."Come tomorrow, and I'll wait for you to start the job." He had selected Sarah Smith as the company's corporate affairs manager. In addition to allowances and other expenses, the company provided her with a monthly salary of $75,000, a lovely bungalow to live in, two cars, and a driver to drive them.

After two years in her role, the managing director of the company traveled to the United States to announce her resignation, citing a need for a person with high integrity. The company's consultant recommended Sarah Smith for the managing director position.

Then she had to attend an interview as the company's managing director. The first question they asked her was.

"What is the secret of her success?"

She tearfully replied, "My father made this oatmeal for me. Only after his passing did I realize he was financially poor but rich in discipline and honesty."

In the interview, they asked her again, "It's been years since your daddy died. Why are you still crying like a little child?"

She said, "I hurt my dear father before he passed away. I hope he can forgive me despite the things I said."
