Honesty is one of the most treasuredtraditional values in China. The children are taught to be honest when they arevery young. At schools the students are also instructed to be honest.

However, with the development of society,we often hear complaints about dishonesty. Reports with the theme of dishonestyoften appear in the media. For example, some people try to get rich and live acomfortable life. But they do not work hard honestly, instead they cheat others.They sell something quite ordinary at a very high price. Some people's delayingpaying back the loan can serve as another example. Some people, including somecollege students, get loan from the bank, and promise to pay within, say, 3years. However, they don't do that.

The dishonest people sometimes can getbenefit from their behaviors. So some people assert that dishonesty can bringpeople benefit, while honesty only makes people suffer. Is that so? Definitelynot. It is always true that honesty is the best policy. It pays to be honest.The cheater selling "the treasure" mentioned above will surely bedisclosed and punished some day.

On the contrary, if he had been honest,neither the buyer nor he himself would have suffered. The people who do not returnmoney in time will sooner or later become infamous, and will not get the moneyfrom others again. If he had acted differently, he would have earned respectand trust, meanwhile, the bank would not have suffered from loss.
