Honesty is the paving stone, and the letter is the pass
Northern Song philosopher Cheng Yi said: "A person without loyalty cannot stand in the world."
The famous modern writer Mr. Lu Xun also said: "Integrity is the foundation of man." .”
It can be seen that honesty and trustworthiness are qualities that a person must possess in interpersonal communication. It is absolutely difficult for people who do not speak honesty to gain a foothold in society.
A person can trust others only if he is sincere in his heart.
means:
Honesty is the inner quality, and faith is the outer manifestation. Only by first paving the way for yourself with sincerity and then paving the way for yourself with faith, can you ride the rivers and lakes unimpeded.

Honesty is the paving stone on the road to success
Soviet writer Gorky said:
"If you walk the path of integrity and honesty, you will have a clear destination."
Honesty, integrity in doing things, not only has a clear conscience, but also greatly benefits my career and official career.
On the road to success, only by paving the foundation with honesty and integrity can we go more steadily and farther.
The famous writer and politician of the Northern Song Dynasty Yan Shu 's road to fame was like this.
Yan Shu has been talented and intelligent since he was a child. At the age of thirteen or fourteen, he was already knowledgeable and recommended to the imperial court as a "child prodigy" by the magistrate.
When Yan Shu arrived in Beijing, he was just in time for the imperial examination. Yan Shu could not have to take the exam, but he voluntarily asked the emperor to take the exam.
When Yan Shu saw the test questions, he realized that he had done the test questions not long ago. The article I wrote at the time was praised by several famous teachers.
The honest Yan Shu intends to explain the situation to the chief examiner. However, he was not allowed to speak in the examination room, so he had to use the previous article as the basis and make some modifications and processing on the paper before handing it in.
A few days later, Yan Shu and dozens of winners were called to the palace hall.When the emperor praised Yan Shu, he hurriedly knelt down, told the exam again, and asked the emperor to give him another question and retake the exam in class.
The emperor praised Yan Shu for his honesty, and discussed with the ministers, and gave him a more difficult topic, and asked him to write in class.
When the emperor and ministers read the article written by Yan Shu, they were full of praise. Because Yan Shu was still young, the emperor arranged for him an official position in Hanlin Academy , and let him exercise first.
At that time, it was a peaceful and prosperous age, and many court officials liked to organize and participate in banquets, amusement, and poetry. But Yan Shu never participated, and after finishing official business every day, he returned to his residence to study.
After a few days, the court wanted to select a person with knowledge and high moral character to assist the prince in his official duties, and the emperor appointed Yan Shu. He also praised him for studying hard every day and never taking part in amusement. He is really high-quality.
Yan Shu said that he was ashamed of the emperor's praise. He also said that he didn't want to have fun with everyone, just because his family was poor and had no money to go. If you have money, you will definitely go.
Yan Shu's honesty made the emperor even more admired, so he used it again later. Not only did Yan Shu become more and more officials, but his reputation also became higher and higher. Even big poets like Fan Zhongyan and Ouyang Xiu came to be his students.
Yan Shu's example has proved:
Integrity and honesty are the paving stones for a person's way forward. It lays a solid foundation for your success.
This is not only the official career, but also in the workplace and business.
If a person wants to achieve a career, he cannot do without a group of like-minded and daring friends. As the saying goes: It’s easy to go if you have more friends.
But true best friends are by no means exchanged by pushing a cup on the wine table. Only if you don’t keep secrets and treat others sincerely, other people are willing to make friends with you, and then have a deep friendship.
As the business tycoon Li Ka-shing said: "You must treat people with sincerity, and others will repay you with sincerity."
In the workplace, if you greet your colleagues with a smile on the surface, but secretly deliberately play tricks, when your true shape is revealed, the "little man with a sword" will become your invisible label.
So, more colleagues will also Will despise and stay away from you. In the end, you will not only be left unattended, you will even fall into a situation where you are embarrassed and crowded out.
If you are not sincere to your boss, the end will be even worse. The cleverness of stealing, rape, and slippery may be fooled for a while. But in the end, it’s hard to escape the boss’s judgment, ranging from fines and dismissals to dismissal, and other insidious acts such as violating the law, stealing beams and changing posts, and seeking death. When the truth is revealed, it is very likely that you will go to jail.
In the business field, if you try to deceive your business partners for your own benefit, you will often hit yourself in the foot.
Even if you succeed in a conspiracy and get huge profits, you will cut off your long-term wealth. Because you are insidious. Once the reputation of treacherousness spreads in the circle, who else wants to do business with you?
" zhongyong" said, "the honest, the way of heaven." The honest, the way of human beings. "
means: truthfulness is the natural principle of all things, and the pursuit of sincerity is the principle of life.
Only when a person regards sincerity as his principle of life, can he meet Bole on the way forward and meet his confidant. Succeed faster and more smoothly.

Trustworthiness is a pass for a person to walk the rivers and lakes
Confucius said: "People don't have faith, and I don't know what is possible. The cart has no stalks, and the cart has no dreadlocks. How can it be done?"
means:
If people don’t have credit, they really don’t know how they can travel in the world. It’s like a big cart without the wood connected to the yoke. Pins, trolleys don’t have pins that connect the bars and crossbars. What can they still walk on?
It can be seen that trustworthiness is the foundation of a person’s foothold in society.
Moreover, trustworthiness is a pass for a person to walk the rivers and lakes alone!
Because a person who will do what he says,His "hard spirit" will not only be trusted, but also respected. If things go on like this, you will make many daring friends. And if you have more friends, you will naturally go unimpeded wherever you go.
The allusion of “one promise and a thousand gold” in the history of our country is the most powerful proof.
There was a man named 季布 at the end of Qin. He was very trustworthy, and many people had established a deep friendship with him. At that time, the folks still circulated such a proverb: "It is better to get Jibuyinuo if you get a hundred catties of gold." It is enough to show how high his prestige is.
During the conflict between Chu and Han , Ji Bu was a subordinate of Xiang Yu , and he had made suggestions for Xiang Yu many times, which made the army of Liu Bang suffered a lot, so Liu Bang hated Ji Bu.
Later, when Liu Bang became emperor, he offered a huge reward and ordered Jibu to be wanted.
Jibu disguised himself and fled around. He fled to work as a servant in a family named Zhu in Shandong, and was immediately recognized by the Zhu family. But not only did the Zhu family not be deceived by Liu Bang's heavy money, they also risked the extinction of the nine tribes to protect Jibu.
Later, the Zhu family went to Luoyang to find Liu Bang's old friend Ruyin Hou Xia Houying to intercede for Jibu. Under the persuasion of Xiahouying , Liu Bang revoked Jibu's wanted order, and also appointed Jibu as a doctor, and soon changed to the presidency of Hedong.
It can be seen that a person who is honest and trustworthy will naturally get more help. On the contrary, life is difficult and career is not smooth. Imagine: a liar who always speaks nothing. When you have difficulties, who will help you? When you are in business, who would dare to cooperate with you?
Whether there is integrity, not only determines a person's contacts, but also affects a person's fortune.
Even if you have achieved fame and fame, if fame and fortune are obtained by falsification or violation of social morality, no matter how big the fame is, no matter how much the benefit is, it will eventually be taken back by the justice of the law. In severe cases, it will collapse and destroy the future.
For example: Fan Bingbing In order to make huge profits,Tax evasion; 翟天临 just because of vain name, academic fraud; greedy and selfish Zheng Shuang even worse, not only evaded taxes, but also abandoned their surrogate children...
They cheated the country, fooled fans, and even treated their own No one's own child has the faith of being a mother.
They have wasted the cultivation of the country, and betrayed the worship of fans. They must be sincere and trustworthy. Even if it has become popular, he will eventually fall down from the altar and be spurned by others.
British philosopher Bacon said: "There is no sin more shameful than hypocrisy and treachery."
Therefore, each of us should take sincerity and trustworthiness as our own rules of life and practice it in our lives. Be a person of noble character and respect.
Please believe:
If you are sincere, you are well-loved; if you are trustworthy, your prestige is high.
Treat people with integrity, and people will not deceive me; with integrity, everything will be accomplished! (Chen Ping)
