Eight great reasons to tell the truth Barbara A. Lewis 

  1. Telling the truth lets everyone know what really happened. There's less chance of misunderstanding, confusion, or conflict.
  2. Telling the truth protects innocent people  from being blamed or punished.
  3. Telling the truth allows everyone to learn from what really happened.
  4. You usually get into less trouble for telling the truth other than lying (and getting caught).
  5. Other people trust you more when you tell the truth.
  6. You don't have to tell (and remember) more lies to keep your story straight.
  7. You gain a reputation for being truthful - a trait most people value.
  8. Telling the truth helps you to feel secure and peaceful inside.
Reflection: This statement is very true because when you lie you feel bad about it inside because you know you did something wrong. Telling the truth benefits you because it shows that your a honest person and people will respect you more. When you lie about something you feel guilty about it and if you get caught then no one will want to trust you because your a dishonest person. Telling the truth should always be your choice no matter what situation your in. If your always honest then you won't get in trouble because the person will be thankful that you didn't lie.

1. Can people trust me to do what's right? 2. Am I committed to doing my very best? 3. Do I treat people they way I want to be treated? ''If the answers to these questions are YES, there is no way you can fail'' by Lou Holtz If I always do what's right with out people telling me or reminding me then that makes me look mature and makes me gain peoples trust. If your trying to achieve something then why not try your best and put all your effort into what your doing.Treating people with kindness and friendliness makes you feel good because then everyone looks at you differently and with respect.They also start treating you like an adult because they've seen that you've matured. For example if your a rude kid and is always rebellious then people are going to ignore you and not get in your way so they wont have to deal with you.

''Ask yourself is it right or wrong and act accordingly''  by Otto Graham, Jr. When you know something is wrong then you shouldn't do it even if you think it will benefit you. For example the video of the homeless man shows that you should do the right no matter what because if he would have exchanged the ring for 4 thousand dollars it wouldn't have been worth it because instead the kept the ring and the lady that owned it helped him get money because people wanted to donate. He also found his family and got reunited with them after 16 years and in my opinion that's way better than 4 thousand dollars. Every human being should know the difference between right or wrong. So whenever were in a situation when were tested to do the right then you should just do it. Because something great may come out of it. Making the right choices makes you feel good about yourself because you know that you could have done the wrong but you were being a smart person.
