People are born with the same nature.

People are born with the same nature. There is no good or evil, and there is no honesty to speak of. What is said: "In the beginning, people are inherently good. Close in sex, but far in practice." Therefore, people's good and evil and whether there is good faith are acquired and formed by upbringing.

The so-called good faith, that is, honest and trustworthy, she is a virtue, a quality, for our Chinese nation from generation to generation believe in, good faith is the code of conduct, is the embodiment of personality, is one of the moral standards to measure the merits of personal conduct. It plays an indispensable role in shaping national culture and spirit. Honesty is a person's most basic moral quality, and it is the spiritual foundation and ideological safeguard of our economic construction. China has a long history and a splendid culture, about the accumulation of good faith in the past generations of virtuous men is not uncommon. The Chinese regard honesty as the foundation of life. As Confucius said, "Be faithful in your words and resolute in your actions."

I once heard a story about a woman who stopped an old officer on a cold winter's day. The officer got angry and the woman hurriedly explained: She saw a child in the streets of pedestrians thin, he is the evening after the war was sent to the corner, on guard "commander," said he, no command, not to retreat, women know that this time, the children have forgotten about it may have been sleeping in a hot bed, would persuade him to leave, but stubborn children received orders to leave. The officer said nothing, but his face was full of soft, solemn expression. He walked up to the boy with a soldier's step, saluted, and announced his rank: "You have done your job well. I order you to go home at once." The boy gave a military salute and left happily. Cold lonely night sky to see, under the dome of the three creatures for a good faith, a moment of solemn meet.

With the passage of time and the development of science and technology, people are losing their integrity more and more.

No good faith makes people become indifferent to each other

In the city, there are floors where people do not interact with each other. There are few words to say all the year round. In the street, people buy a thing turned over and over to check, half-heartedly, some people see others fall into the water also do not go to rescue; In the street, some people were robbed of the bag, loudly call, but no one reached out to catch the thief, but to avoid; Some people in the car or on the street to see the thief wrapped hands into other people's pockets, but no one said a voice, we also turn a blind eye......

Honesty makes the penny wise and the pound foolish

A knowledgeable scholar told about such a thing: there is a Chinese high school student who studied in Germany, after graduation, applied for jobs everywhere in Germany, but he visited many large companies, but was rejected, even small companies are closed. Exasperated, he finally learned that he had three records of fare evasion, which might have been a few cents or even a few cents, but which, to this serious German, would never be forgiven.

No good faith, let a company bear huge losses

There was a TV report about a company trying to persuade another company to cooperate with them. After gaining the trust of another company, they tinker with their accounts and other places, and after getting millions, they "evaporate" people and money from people. So that company lost millions of dollars, which is a heavy blow to a company.

What about the integrity of those people? Has it been worn away by time, gone with the swelling of the purse?

Confucius said well: "People without faith, do not know it can also." The MEANING OF this sentence is to say: A man does not speak credibility, I do not know how he can stand in the world. And "No one can stand without faith." The experience of life tells us that people who do not speak good faith can bully people for a while, but can not bully people for a lifetime, but be seen through, he is difficult to foothold in society, the result both hurt others, also hurt themselves. Be honest, keep your word, can be trusted by others, is also the sublimation of their own morality.

Be honest, treat each other with sincerity, abide by credit, is also the performance of respect promise, the flowers are the promise of spring, the sea is the promise of the sea, the distance is the promise of the road. But keeping a promise is harder than climbing a mountain.

Adhere to honesty, will win trust, honesty and trust is a tree and Tilian, honesty is the premise of trust, honest to people will naturally get people's trust, dishonest to people will produce a crisis of trust. Perhaps a dishonest person in a specific period, a specific occasion, through special means may blind some people, but only temporarily, the "true face of Lushan" will be revealed, the foundation of trust is always honesty.

Students, each of us has a good faith in the heart of the lamp, let us go to light it! While we light it for ourselves, light it for others.
