since the quality of honesty applies to all behaviors, one cannot refuse to consider factual information, for example, in an unbiased manner and still claim that one's knowledge, belief or position is an attempt to be truthful. such a belief is clearly a product of one's desires and simply has nothing to do with the human ability to know. basing one's positions on what one wants — rather than unbiased evidence gathering — is dishonest even when good intentions can be cited — after all even hitler could cite good intentions and intended glory for a select group of people. clearly then, an unbiased approach to the truth is a requirement of honesty.
because intentions are closely related to fairness and certainly affect the degree of honesty/dishonesty, there is a wide spread confusion about honesty--and a general belief that being dishonest means that one always correctly understands if their behavior is either honest or dishonest. self-perception of our morality is non-static and volatile. it's often at the moment we refuse to consider other perspectives that there is a clear indication we are not pursuing the truth, rather than simply and exclusively at the moment we can muster up evidence that we are right. socrates had much to say about truth, honesty and morality, and explained that if people really understood that their behavior was wrong — then they simply wouldn't do it — by definition. unfortunately, honesty in the western tradition has been marginalized to specific instances — perhaps because a thorough understanding of honesty collides with ideologies of all types. ideologies and idealism often exaggerate and suppress evidence in order to support their perspectives — at the expense of the truth. this process erodes the practice and understanding of honesty. to an ideologist the truth quite often becomes insignificant, what matters most are their ideals and what ever supports their desires to enjoy and spread those ideals.
human beings are inherently biased about what they believe to be good due to individual tastes & backgrounds, but once one understands that a decidedly biased approach to what is true — is inherently dishonest, one can also understand how idealism and ideology have poorly served the quest for an honest, moral society. both honesty and morality require that we base our opinions about what is good — upon unbiased ideas of what is true — rather than vice versa (determining what is true based on what we feel is good) — the way all ideologies would have us believe.
If You are Honest, I Will Believe in You
I don’t know whether you have noticed a note while you were eating in the dining room. There was a note put up on the vending machine, and the word on the pa-pe-r really touched me. It said that, if you are honest, I will believe in you.
The word recalls a story kept in my mind, and now I am so glad to share with you. I believe most of you have watched CCTV Spring Festival Gala this year, but who still remember an old man named Wu Hengzhong. (Look)This man, as a representative of “national moral models”, was invited to pay a New Year call to the people, and was also the protagonist of the story I am going to tell.
He was a common 58-year-old peasant in Tongnan ,Chongqing. What makes him well-known is that he has been repaying a debt, which replaced his dead son. In 2001, his son, Wu Jun, borrowed money from his relatives and then bought a truck to make a living from it. However, in 2003, a misfortune befall him as well as his family was involved. He died in a car accident, leaving a 4-year-old child and 19 thousand debt. On the day of bury, he cried at his son’s grave, and said, don’t worry, I will replace the debt instead of you. After that, he was in great distress over the death of his son, but still was strong and alive. However, 19 thousand debt was a really huge sum for him, so for repaying the debt, he just reclaimed all the wasteland in the mountain, the total area 52 mu and became the largest local grower. How much is the 52 mu? Let’s make a calculation together. Each mu is approximately equal to 666 square meters, so 52 mu is about 35 thousand square meters, and is approach to the area of 5 qualified football court. Can you imagine that? An old man cultivated a so huge area. It means that he had to work day and night, and actually he did so. At the same time, for repaying the debt, he has been lived frugally, and the clothes he wore were all from others’. While he was still optimistic, he would rather lived hard himself but to be responsible to all the creditors. All this time, he has been repaid the debt little by little, and just because of his good faith, local residents believed him a lot and helped him. Up to now, all the debts has be paid. There is someone once advised him to work in other places so that he could earn more, but he refused for the reason of avoiding others’worry. He thought of, if he stayed in his hometown, so that the creditors would not have the worry of he would not repay their money. And just because of this belief and his good faith, he has been insisted this tough business.
One thing I hope you can realize is that there is no legal provision requires the relatives should repay a debt instead of the debtor,even his father.
Now my story is over. I am not sure whether you were touched deeply like me, but I still want to restate again. If you are honest, I will believe in you. Maybe life would be some different, but you will have a clear conscience, and that is more important. Thank you.

The importance of the Students take trustworthiness pathetic move by him
誠實守信是一個具有普遍性的道德規範。誠實守信是初始性的道德，是道德體系中的母德，一切的道德規範都是在這個基礎是建立的，更高的道德是以誠信為基礎建立的。
Honesty and trustworthiness is a universal code of ethics. Honesty is the initial of morality, is the moral system of the maternal morality, all moral standards are
established on this basis is, the higher moral integrity is established on the basis of.
一、誠信是做人的基本準則。First, integrity is the basic norms of life. 誠信包括誠實和守信兩個方面，是分而為二，合而為一的道德規範，它出現在各民族的文化要求之中，是做人的基本準則。Integrity includes honesty and trustworthiness two are divided and the two combined into one code of ethics, it appears in the requirements among different cultures, is the basic principle in life. 誠實就是忠誠老實，它主要是對人處事時的道德準則，這一準則要求人們與人交往時說真話，向別人傳遞真實資訊，不掩蓋或歪曲事實真-相。人類歷史發展到現在，誠實品質從來是對人的最基本的要求和規範。是否具備誠實品質，已經成為道德社會化完成未完成的標誌，成為衡量一個社會成員在道德上合不合格的最基本標準。
Honesty is honest and faithful, it is mainly to the people in the moral standards when, the standards require that people with people, said the truth to others deliver real information, not hide or distort the facts and the truth. Human history to now, honesty never is man's most basic requirements and specifications. Whether to have honest quality, has become a complete moral socialization unfinished signs become the measure of a social members in ethics match not qualified the most basic standard.
守信是遵守諾言實踐傳統道德中的精華，守信是最基本的道德要求。所謂信，即誠實自己的諾言。言必信，行必果是中國傳統。我國傳統文化中非常重視信，把信作為立人之本，立政之基，人無信不立，政無信不立。“信”也就成為儒家著重提倡的道德規範之一。
Credit is to keep his word practice the essence of traditional morality, and
faithful is the most basic moral requirements. The so-called letter, namely honest his promise. True in word and resolute in deed is a traditional Chinese. China's traditional culture attaches great importance to the letter, and put the letter as a set of people, and made the political base of, a man without the letter does not stand, administration without faith will not make. "Believe" will become the Confucian ethics of mainly advocate of one.
誠實守信是我國傳統道德大廈的根基，誠信鑄成中華民族道德之魂。統而言之，誠信包含了幾個方面的含義：一是誠實無欺，主要指人的自我修養以及由此形成的個人記憶體的道德品質、德性和道德境界。二是相互信任，主要指信任他人或被他人所信任，這是社會中的一般的道德要求。三是信守承諾，通常指能夠履
行對他人的承諾，是對特定物件的責任。所以相互信任、信守承諾主要指人們在交往中的行為規範。
Honesty is our traditional moral building the foundations of the molten image, the good faith of the Chinese nation the soul of morality. All in all, the good faith includes several aspects of the meanings: one is honest will mainly refers to the self cultivation and in form of personal memory moral quality, moral and ethical realm. Two is to trust each other, mainly refers to the trust others or by the other trust, this is the general requirements of social morality. Three is keeping the promise, usually refers to fulfill the promise of others can, for a particular object is the responsibility. So trust each other, keeping the promise in communication mainly refers to the people of the code of conduct.
二、誠信是大學生安生立命的關鍵。Second, the good faith is the key of college students made him life.
現代社會中，人們越來越看中誠信的品質。大學生在校學習只是一個暫時的階段性的過程，最終我們還是要走入社會，走入市場。在將來的求職中，誠信將成為用人單位對求職者的素質要求，誠信必將成為大學生的安生立命之本，這就要求我們要做誠信規範的力行者。In modern society, people are more and more on the quality of good faith. College students' learning is just a temporary stage of the process, finally we still have to walk into society, into the market. In the process, the good faith will become the employing units to apply for a job person quality
requirements, the good faith will be a college student she made the life of this, which require us to do the good faith standard doers.
在全社會都在倡導“誠信”的今天，作為接受文明教育最充分的大學生，更應該身體力行，領文明之先風，不做有損個人名譽和國家利益的事情。考試作弊、畢業不還貸等失信行為大大降低了大學生的道德水準，也降低了社會對大學生的信任度。對考試作弊、畢業不還貸的理解和寬容，也就是對社會不正之風的淡然和認同，自己也就不知不覺加入其中，其危害是不言而喻的。學生中更存在嚴重敗壞了學校和社會風氣。有道德的.人以做假、說謊為最大恥辱，有道德的人也必定會忠於自己的承諾。所以信必有忠，忠能達信。考試作弊、欠貸不還等行為則是對優良校風的敗壞，是對學校正面的道德教育的無端褻瀆與粗暴賤踏。 In the whole society in advocating "good faith" today, as most fully accept
civilization education, college students should be more physically brought civilization, the first, don't do the wind beneath personal fame and the interests of the state of things. Cheating in the exam, graduate still do not borrow, etc discreditable behavior greatly reduces the college students' moral standard, also reduces the society on the students trust. Cheating in the exam, graduation to still do not borrow understanding and tolerant, also is the unhealthy tendencies of society and identity, calmly may have unconsciously join them, the harm is self-evident. Students in there more serious damage to the school and social atmosphere. Moral man to make false, and lying, for the biggest disgrace, moral man also will be loyal to his promise. So there will be loyal, loyal letter can marsh. Cheating in the exam, owe loans don't also is the good
behavior such as the corruption, is to the school moral education of school positive unprovoked profane and rough base on.
由誠實、守信方面出問題而導致社會成員之間的不信任，導致社會信任度的降低，不僅在量的方面大幅減少，在質的方面也大幅下降，會使信任危機強化為社會危機，直到社會系統的崩潰。從而也就能夠明白為什麼各個民族的各種文化都把誠實守信作為最基本的道德規範。 誠信者付出誠信，誠信者也收穫誠信。誠信者收穫的信任，是誠信者擁有的社會資源，它足以使誠信者安身立命。
By honest, truthful problems and lead to distrust between the members of society, social credibility to reduce, not only in the aspect of sharply reduce the quality of, has dropped dramatically, can make the trust crisis for strengthening social crisis, until the collapse of the social system. And thus able to understand why each nation's various cultures have honesty as the most basic moral norms. The good faith give good faith, the good faith the harvest honesty. The good faith, the good faith is harvest trust the person has social resources, it is enough to make the good faith he governed.
作為當代大學生應該把科學認識上的求真精神和做人方面的求真精神結合起來統一起來，才能無愧於時代、無愧於國家和人民，人生也才會有真正意義上的價值。也只有熱愛真理、襟懷坦白、誠實公正的人才能為追求真理拼搏和獻身。使大學生自覺建立道德防線，把誠實守信作為自己道德良知的紅色警戒線，從而戰戰兢兢，如臨深淵、如履薄冰。
As a contemporary college students should take scientific understanding of the pursuit-of-truth spirit and life of combining the pursuit-of-truth spirit to unify, can deserve era, is worthy of the state and the people, life is just can have real value. Only love truth, frankly, honest, fair means the talents for the truth can fight and devotion. Make students to establish the moral consciousness, the honest defence as their moral conscience of the red lines, thus trembled with fear and RuLinShenYuan, skating on thin ice.

Have you ever experienced network fraud？Have you ever heard of false accounting?I think most of you will say y,my speech is why integrity is significant in business.
In the "two sessions" period, the most popular topic is not financial issues but credit problems. "Good faith" almost become deputies and members most frequently used e is no doubt that China’s economy is becoming stronger and ver,along with its development ,there is a potential huge problem is threatening its sustainable is the integrity problem.
Horrifying dishonesty problems are just like an devil surrounding us. We fear that the bridge may collapse which we are driving on , we fear that the house may collapse which we live in fear that we may be deceived when we eat outside. Fake diplomas, false accounts, false contracts, the word "fake" seems to be pervasive. From the counterfeit market to secret operations on the stock market; from black whistle on football to academic corruption;from commercial fraud to individual local
government and so it crisis, credit deficiency have become the et rding to the National Bureau of Statistics, because of some enterprises dishonesty, it led to direct or indirect economic losses of 500 billion yuan last year, 500 billion yuan means what?how many laid-off workers can solve! How many school children can solve! How many samll enterprises can save.
China's economic development can not be separated from investment financing method isn’t essential but the good credit environment. Because the improvement of hard environment is not very difficult, but the construction of credit environment needs a longer ing's old brand "tongrentang , good faith management for 350 years, from a little-known household pharmary becomes the first brand of Chinese medicine. The potential credit value is obvious.
A business will not prosper without sincerity and a person will not succeed without #url#egrity is the top policy of life, the basis of government,even,it is the golden rule of the market economy. In the world, the jews is very rich, they are skilled in secret to their success in their business lies in keeping business ethics the minds of the jews, the
contract is sacred and can not be destroyed. They have benefited a lot from it, which was a great wealth.
A government and social environment of honesty and trustworthiness is the fundamental of investment versa,the environment where is a lack of credit and rampant fraud, disorder of market place, certainly will not become an investment hot spot, certainly will not become a cradle of enterprise development and growth. In the long run, the economy trauma can be calculated by money, while the lack of honesty and trustworthiness is difficult to measure with money. Only the construction of the credit government, only the construction of the credibility of the community, investment behavior and investment security can be guaranteed.
Market economy has two eyes: one is the visible eye, namely the rule of law; the other is the invisible eye, this is the integrity. Like a beautiful girl, no matter which eye blind, full of the defects and misery!
If we compare the business world as a battlefield,the most efficient weapon we can use is integrity and morality,Only if we use integrit to run business and build harmony business world,and as a result, both businessmen and customers will has a double win from it

Good evening, everybody! It’s my honor to speak here, and I am very glad to share my topic with you. Then today I’d like to talk something about sty means speaking the truth and being fair and upright in act. There are just a few of words, however,doing it completely is one of the most difficult things. By contrary, Those who lies and cheats is dishonest,those who gain fortunes not by hard labour but by other means is dishonest.
Now,firstly, I will share one short story that is well known in China. It named <zengsheng kill a pig > order to persuade her son not to follow her to the fair, the boy’s mother promised her son to kill a pig for him. In fact, she didn’t plan to kill the pig finally died. Who killed it? Zensheng said,”children know nothing to begin with, but they copy their parents and learn from them, when you cheat the boy, you are teach him to lie” This story tell us, we must have faith. If we always lie to others, we will lose the trust of others.
In the long river of history, there are many such similar stories about honesty. All those stories tell us that people are praising the quality of was true that most of people value honesty highly. Therefore,honesty is the traditional virtue of the Chinese nation, we should inherit it and not let it break in our generation.
However, now the situation is not optimistic. In the tide of commodity economy today,it seems that more and more people believe in money at
the sacrifice of honesty. This is a reason why phenomena of dishonesty upward trend. In people basic necessities of life, it is flooded with fake and shoddy milk, drainage oil; in the political field, many officials have no honesty carring some false bureaucratic activities or movements; in the social life field, many people believe that good faith is a kind of stupid behavior. They don’t understand that honesty is the biggest fortune humans own, and that it is the pre requisite for doing everything well. Do we really want to live in a world full of lies? I think the answer is no. Paradoxically, we all want to have a good faith society. At the same time, the good faith is also the requirement of economy society. We want to have a good faith society, first of all we should be honest.
As a contemporary college students, we are the symbol of civilzation in our country, we should set an example. Just try to put honesty into action in our normal life, we can start small. Like clean up our rooms after ma-ki-ng a promise, turn in a wallet full of money that we found, keep a friend’s secret and so on. I believe, the good faith society will come back if we contrive for it!
That’s all. Thank you for listening, ladies and gentlemen.
