Honesty is the Best Policy

Paragraph-1

People often talk of achieving their objectives by hook or by crook. Such an attitude has never produced any good results. A man who thinks that he can make a great fortune by foul means is sure to ruin himself. The gotten wealth only brings unhappiness. So whether in business or in practical conduct a man must always be honest. Honesty is the best policy. An honest man is never known to come to grief because of his honesty. Honesty may have its trials and challenges, but it is sure to succeed in the end. That 'honesty is the best policy is not just a moral axiom, it is a guideline to practical success in life.

Paragraph-2

It has often been seen that a man with his ill-gotten wealth enjoys its fruits and leads a luxurious life and gets all sorts of pleasure in life. To such types of men, the proverb 'Honesty is the best policy will have no meaning. They will laugh at it. Outward they may be happy and anybody gets thrilled to see their glamour but inwardly they are not at all happy. Under their costly garments, their heartbeats fast remain undetected. They have no mental peace and contentment. There is always fear in their eyes lest they should be detected. Gandhiji followed this principle throughout his life. Nobody can dare question his honesty, ability, sincerity, and dedication. Through honesty only, a man is respected in society. A man may become rich quickly by dishonest means but that richness does not last long. Richness earned by honest means lasts long. Honesty creates confidence in man. An honest man does not fear anybody. He holds his head high.
