"Honesty is the cornerstone of character. The honest man or woman seeks not merely to avoid criminal or illegal acts, but to be scrupulously fair, upright, fearless in both action and expression. Honesty pays dividends both in dollars and in peace of mind."

B.C Forbes

Reflection: I believe honesty is a big part of someone's personality. It not only defines you as a person, but also allows you to be better than others who aren't following this path.What came across my mind because of this quote, is that selflessness will be it's own reward. With honesty. you will feel better about many situations. For example, there was once a man who stole money from a Sears store and he never felt comfortable with himself until the day he decided to be honest and paid the store the money he took from the store decades ago. Moral of the story, is that choosing honesty is choosing the right.

"Truth is the only safe ground to stand upon."

Elizabeth Cady Stanton

Reflection: What this quote means to me is something very simple, and it's been hear.. it's that the truth will set you free. When you're able to be an honest person, you won't be looked at with disgrace nor dishonor. Telling the truth will keep you out of trouble, or in some cases, it'll keep you out of more trouble. If someone was to make up a lie, you could catch it somehow, but if they kept making their liar even worse, then it's much easier to get the truth out of them. Lies will only lead you downhill. You must be wise and choose the correct path, choose the right.

"Man returns stolen cash to Seattle, Washington Sears 60 years later"

Reflection: At first, this man had stole around thirty dollars. Ever since then, he had been feeling guilty over that wrong decision.. He thought about it every single day of his life. One day, this man had realized what he had to do in order to stop feeling this way. Sixty years after the robbery, he decided to pay the store back for what he took. The man even added another seventy dollars, just cause. Although he chose the wrong, he chose the right after realizing that he shouldn't have taken the money in the first place. It's best to be honest and pay for your mistakes, it's not always literally.. but in this case, he literally paid for it. Choose the right.

Habit 2: Begin With the End in Mind
If teens aren't clear about where they want to end up in life, about their values, goals, and what they stand for, they will wander, waste time, and be tossed to and fro by opinions of others. Help your teen create a personal mission statement which will act as a road map and direct and guide his decision-making process.

"Keep your eyes on the prize." Determine your desired prize and don't quit until you have realized the achievement of your prize. Then set another prize, another goal or desire that you would really like to achieve. Begin with the achievement of your prize in mind. Visualize and then realize. Start by having a target in mind; know where you are going.

One prize or one goal you definitely need to establish for yourself. is the prize of an honorable graduation from high school that you will receive your diploma honestly and with integrity- that you earned it with perfect honesty.
