Student Success Statement by B.C. Forbes

Student Success Statement

"Honesty is the cornerstone of character. The honest man or woman seeks not merely to avoid criminal or legal acts, but to be scrupulously fair, upright, fearless in both action and expression. Honesty pays dividends both in dollars and in peace of mind."

B.C. Forbes

Reflection:

This statement  teaches us a lot about honesty, because honesty is a key to being successful in life. A person who is honest will always tell the truth and never lie to their family, friends, and neighbors. An honest person will always be loyal. A person who always lies and never tells the truth is not an honest person, and that person will never go far in life. An honest person will get a lot of doors opened for them to live a successful life.

Honesty is always the best policy. Employers need to know that they can trust you with everything from company credit cards to trade secrets. How can you work at honesty? You demonstrate integrity every day that you do your own homework and resist the temptation to cheat on exams.
