The Ten Tips
1. Make a commitment to tell the truth.
2. Tell someone about your commitment.
Reflection: In my opinion I think that everyone should always speak with the truth. I think that if you always speak with the truth you will always say the truth which is good. We should always speak with the truth and commit to the truth no matter what even if they're bad news always speak with the truth. I think that people would much rather hear the truth than them being lied to and finding out after. Speak to someone about your commitment about you always speaking the truth. I
n my opinion that is a very good idea to tell someone about.
3. Think before you give a dishonest answer. Reflection: You should never tell a lie. Lying is not good at all because once you make up a lie it'll lead up to you lying all the time. Big or little a lie is a lie. Lying can also get you into problems which isn't good. "Music doesn't lie. If there is something to be changed in this world, then it can only happen through music". Jimi Hendrix I believe that everyone should just speak with the truth because there is really no point in giving a lie. The truth is always better than a lie because the truth always comes out either way.
Reflection: I think this means that you should watch out and think about what you are going to say to someone. Your words can be hard on someone. I think that you should always think before you speak to someone. "It's no exaggeration to say that the undecideds could go one way or another." George H. W. Bush
5. Be careful not to twist the truth or leave out part of it.
Reflection: You should always speak with the truth and the truth only. When you speak with someone say what you have to say but dont get anything twisted. I think that everyone should always speak with the truth even if it will hurt. Being honest is better than giving someone something that isnt true. It isnt hard to speak the truth so why lie about something.
6. Don't indulge in little white lies.
Reflection: This is trying to say that don'
t allow allow yourself to enjoy the lies. Don't become a liar and speak all lies. Always speak with the truth with whoever you are speaking with. The truth is way better than lies. We should all speak with the truth rather to get ourselves involved with lies which aren't truth. Lies are never good you can get yourself in a bad situation with others and yourself reason why we should always speak with the truth.
7. Watch out for silent lies.
Reflection: I think that we can all tell when someone is lying to us. If we really know the person we will be able to see when they are lying by what they do or how they say it. In my opinion i think that we should always speak with the truth. I see no reason why people should lie and say things that arent true. Always speak with the truth at all times. "You may tell the greatest lies and wear a brilliant disguise, but you can't escape the eyes of the one who sees right through you." TOM ROBBINS, Villa Incognito
