Why do you say "people can't stand without faith"?

People can't stand without faith, and only honesty and trustworthiness can be believed by others. This is not only the embodiment of moral quality, but also the source of happiness in life.

A customer walked into an auto repair shop and claimed to be the driver of the transportation company. "Write more parts on my bill. After I go back to the company for reimbursement, you will have benefits. " He said to the shopkeeper. But the owner refused such a request. The customer pestered and said, "My business is not small. I will come here often. You can definitely make a lot of money! " "The shopkeeper told him that this could never be done. The customer shouted angrily, "Anyone can do this. I think you are stupid. " The shopkeeper was so angry that he asked the customer to leave at once and talk about it elsewhere. At this time, the customer smiled and shook the owner's hand admiringly: "I am the boss of that transportation company. I've been looking for a fixed and reliable repair shop. Where else can you let me talk about this business? "

In this story, the shopkeeper was not confused by temptation. Although plain as a cloud and simple as running water, it makes people appreciate a shining character-honesty.

China has always had the virtue of honesty and trustworthiness. There are many words in China's modern vocabulary that can be taken as examples: it's a deal, a promise is a promise, it's a deal, a word is silent, a person can't be trusted, and he doesn't know what he can do; Words must be done, and actions must be fruitful; Commitment is commitment, commitment is commitment ... The widely circulated story of Ceng Zi's wife is also a typical example. Ceng Zi is a student of Confucius. One day, his wife wanted to go shopping and the child was crying. She told the child not to make trouble and promised to kill the pig for him when she came back. In fact, she won't really do it. Unexpectedly, when she came home and saw that Zeng Zi really wanted to kill pigs, she immediately stopped him, saying that she was just joking with the children. Ceng Zi said: If parents break their promises to their children, they will teach them to cheat. Say that finish, kill the pig.

As Ceng Zi said, honesty will affect a person's life. Not only that, in many cases, whether a person has the character of honesty or not will even have a major impact on society and the development of history. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Qin Shangyang presided over the political reform with the support of Qin Xiaogong. At that time, at a time of frequent wars and panic, in order to establish prestige and promote reform, Shang Yang ordered a 30-foot-long wood to be erected outside the south gate of the capital, and made a promise in public: whoever can move this wood to the north gate will be rewarded with twelve taels of silver. None of the onlookers believe that such an easy thing can get such a high reward, so no one is willing to try. So Shang Yang raised the reward to fifty gold. Under the reward, there must be a brave man. Finally someone stepped forward and carried the wood to the north gate. Shang Yang immediately rewarded him with fifty gold. Shang Yang's move established prestige in the hearts of the people, and Shang Yang's next reform was quickly popularized in Qin State. The new law made the State of Qin stronger and eventually unified China.

Honesty can rejuvenate the country, just as dishonesty can ruin the country. Zhou Youwang ordered more than 20 beacon towers near the capital to light bonfires to win the praise and smile of his favorite concubine-bonfires are a signal of border warning, which can only be lit when foreign enemies invade and need to call the vassals for help. As a result, as soon as the princes saw the bonfire, they led the soldiers to arrive in a hurry, realized that it was a trick set by the king to smile at his wife, and then left angrily. I finally smiled happily when I saw the usually prestigious princes at a loss. Five years later, another large-scale attack on Zhou, the bonfire of Youwang was rekindled, but the ministers were late-no one wanted to be fooled again. As a result, you Wang was forced to commit suicide, and he was also captured.

A "stand up and win the trust" promises 1000 yuan; An emperor didn't believe it and played the game of "wolf coming". As a result, the former succeeded in political reform and the country was strong; The latter, who brought shame on himself, died. It can be seen that "belief" plays a very important role in the rise and fall of a country.

In the early years, few foreigners set foot in the southern foothills of the Himalayas in Nepal. Later, many Japanese people came here for sightseeing, which is said to be because of the honesty of a teenager. One day, several Japanese photographers invited a local teenager to buy beer, and the teenager ran for more than three hours. The next day, the boy offered to buy them beer. The photographers gave him a lot of money this time, but the boy didn't come back until the afternoon of the third day. As a result, photographers talked about it and thought that the boy cheated the money away. On the third night, the boy knocked on the photographer's door. It turned out that he only bought four bottles of beer. Later, he climbed a mountain, crossed a river and bought six more bottles. When he came back, he broke three bottles. He took the broken glass in tears and returned the change to the photographer. All the people present were moved. This story deeply touched many foreigners. Later, more and more tourists came here. ...

A teacher who never forgets the past, whether it is an example of China in ancient and modern times or a foreign story, tells us that honesty is the foundation of being a man. We must be honest and trustworthy, and build a better tomorrow with our own integrity.
