"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.

"So often in our quest to be more popular and to be part of the "in-group", we lose sight of things that are far more important."

Sean Covey

Reflection: I believe this quote means that as somebody who is searching for popularity or tries to fit in, tends to ignore things that affect them. As you try so hard, you will eventually end up falling behind when just trying to go forward. For example, someone could try to be joining popular groups and the popular people may invite you to go out, not only are you blowing off your own friends, but you're also blowing off your homework and studying. You will lose track of what's really important and will one day end up regretting the choices you made.
