Honesty is a rare commodity in the world today. Most people prefer the easy way out which sometimes deviates from the path of honesty, for to be completely honest means facing hardships and obstacles.

Nothing succeeds like success, and many people believe it is the "end result' that matters—not the means. Therefore, even if you acquire success, money, position and respect by being just a little out of line—it doesn't really matter much.

But remember—anything acquired by incorrect and dishonest' means will never last—what will sustain is honesty, and work done honestly. In the world of today, honesty is regarded as a hindrance in achieving success rapidly. It may appear that the 'smooth, worker' who knows exactly how to manipulate gets ahead, while the honest not so cunning person gets left way behind—but it's like the old tale of the tortoise and the rabbit. Slow and steady and honesty- wins the race.

In the end, it's not what others judge you by that counts— it's what you judge yourself as. It's how you feel about your actions and deeds—if you are one with them and feel you have achieved your goal HONESTLY-that's all that matters.
