What are some examples of honesty and trustworthiness?

Story:\x0d\ Meng’s Mother When the Meng family still lived next to the market in Miaohuying Village, someone was killing pigs in the east neighbor. Mencius asked his mother in confusion: "Why is the neighbor killing pigs?" Meng's mother was busy at that time, so she casually responded: "Here you eat!" Mencius was very happy to wait for the meat. In order not to break her promise to her son, Meng's mother reluctantly allocated part of her living expenses to buy a piece of meat. Let my son eat it to his heart's content. \x0d\\x0d\ Franklin was an American in the 18th century. He was a famous scientist and a famous social activist. He participated in drafting the United States' Declaration of Independence and made great contributions to American independence and freedom. \x0d\　He comes from a family of craftsmen who have been blacksmithing for generations. Since there are many children in the family, it is difficult for his parents to rely on blacksmithing to maintain their family's life. Twelve-year-old Franklin saw his parents worrying about their livelihood all day long, so he wanted to do something for his family. At this time, in addition to blacksmithing, my father also made candles. \x0d\ Later, his brother opened a newspaper in the city, and Franklin became an apprentice to his brother and learned typesetting in a printing office. His brother was very mean to him, often scolding him for trivial matters, and sometimes beating him severely. This made Franklin unbearable, and soon left there to find work in another printing office. But his brother was very bad and told all the printing shop owners in the city not to hire Franklin. \x0d\　Franklin had to find work in other cities. He lived in Philadelphia, where a man named Keimou asked Franklin to help him manage the printing shop he opened, promising to give him a high salary. Franklin couldn't find another job for the time being, so he agreed. Franklin was already a skilled worker at that time, and the other workers hired by Keimou were people who did not know much about printing, typesetting, and binding. Keimou paid these people very low wages. When the smart Franklin saw this situation, he guessed that Keimou wanted him to train these cheaply hired workers into skilled workers and then drive him away. Keimou had a bad reputation in the local area, and everyone knew that he was a cunning and cunning villain. \x0d\Although Franklin had guessed what Kaimo was thinking, he thought that since he agreed to accept the job, he should try his best to do a good job and be serious and responsible for his work. He should not affect his attitude toward work just because his boss is not good. Serious attitude. So, he taught these workers some techniques every day, and even taught these people the method of making typefaces he invented. \x0d \ . Once, Keimou pointed at Franklin's nose and called him a stupid pig. Franklin was very angry and said: "There are only stupid pig bosses and no stupid pig workers. People like you are not worthy of being a boss at all." \x0d\ When Keimou wanted to drive Franklin away, he said sarcastically: "God didn't keep a genius like you from working here. You can slip away like a squid." \x0d\ Franklin didn't want to work for a long time, so he said in front of the workers: "Kimou, don't beat around the bush, please invite me." I came here to train workers for you. Now that they are all skilled workers, you can drive me away. I have already guessed what you are thinking. However, don’t worry, I, Franklin, have always been honest and will not do it because of it. Your meanness will spread the wrong skills to them, and when you fire them in the future, they can easily find jobs based on their wrong skills."\x0d\" After that, Franklin packed up and left the shop. \x0d\\x0d\ On February 12, 1809, Abraham Lincoln was born in a farmer's family. When he was a child, his family was very poor and he had no chance to go to school. He followed his father to cultivate and work in the western wilderness every day. He himself said: "When I entered school in my life, the total time was less than one year." But Lincoln was diligent and studious, and asked others for advice whenever he had the opportunity. He had no money to buy paper or pens, so he always had a book in his arms when he was herding cattle, chopping firewood, or digging in the ground. When he was resting, he gnawed on hard, cold bread and read with relish. At night, he often read until late at night under the small oil. \x0d\When he grew up, Lincoln left his hometown and went out to make a living alone. He worked all kinds of jobs, including day laborers, sailors, store clerks, rural postmen, land surveyors, and gravity work such as logging and splitting wood. No matter what he does, he is very responsible, honest and trustworthy. \x0d\　When he was a teenager, he worked as a clerk in a village grocery store. Once, a customer paid a few cents more and ran more than ten miles to get the money back. Another time, he found that he had given a customer two taels of tea leaves, so he ran several miles to deliver the tea leaves to that customer's home. He was honest, studious, and humble, and was loved by those around him wherever he went. \x0d\　In 1834, the 25-year-old Lincoln was elected as an Illinois Congressman and began his political career. In 1836, he passed the examination and became a lawyer. \x0d\　After becoming a lawyer, he was very famous in the local area because he was proficient in law and eloquent. Many people came to him to help with lawsuits. But there is one condition for him to defend the client, that is, the client must be a just party. Many poor people did not have the money to pay him for his services, but they could just tell Lincoln: "I am just, please help me seek justice."

"Lincoln would defend him for free. Once, a very rich man asked Lincoln to defend him. After listening to the client's statement, Lincoln found that the man was falsely accusing a good person, so he said, "I'm sorry, I can't defend him. You defend yourself because your actions were unjust. The man said: "Mr. Lincoln, I just want to ask you to help me fight this unjust lawsuit. As long as I win the case, you can pay me whatever you want." "Lincoln said seriously: "As long as you use a little court advocacy skills, your case can easily be won, but the case itself is unfair. If I took your case, when I stood in front of the judge and spoke, I would say to myself: 'Lincoln, you're lying. ’ Lies can only be spoken out loud when one loses one’s conscience. I cannot lose my conscience and tell lies. Therefore, please ask Gao Ming for help. I am not able to serve you. "\x0d\　The man listened, said nothing, and left Lincoln's office silently.\x0d\\x0d\" Reuter was born in Germany. His father died when he was a teenager. He worked in a bank opened by his uncle. Errand work. One day, the bank sent him to the home of the famous mathematician Gauss to withdraw money. \x0d\ When Reuters finished his work and returned to the bank to carefully count the amount of money, he discovered that Gauss had given him an extra three hundred marks. It was quite a large sum at the time \x0d\ So Reuter hurried back to Gauss's home, and then respectfully said to Gauss: "Sir, the amount of money you gave me earlier was wrong." \x0d\ Since Gauss was busy. Answering a formula, he said loudly without raising his head: "I am a well-known mathematician. How can I make a mistake in calculating such a small amount? Besides, I have given you the money for a long time, and you are still here now." Tell me that the amount is wrong. We have already paid off and owe each other nothing." \x0d\ Reuter had no choice but to say, "Okay! Since you said so, I don't have to pay back the extra three hundred marks."\ x0d\　Of course, in the end, Reuters returned the extra 300 marks to Gauss. After this incident, Gauss also restrained a lot of his arrogance. \x0d\　Honesty is one of the important virtues of human beings. Having an honest mind and an open and bright heart can naturally lead us to success. \x0d\\x0d\ In the German army of the seventeenth century, there was a prince who treated his subordinates as brothers and was deeply loved by soldiers and officers at all levels. On the way back after a failed attack on a certain country, it was late at night in winter. The severe cold and hunger tortured him and some of his subordinates. In the state of extreme cold and hunger, the prince slowly fell into sleep... In his sleep, the prince dreamed that the sun was exceptionally bright and warm. When he woke up, he found that he was covered with many coats and his life continued. Looking around, he saw that his men had all covered the prince's body with their coats, and they had all frozen to death. \x0d\\x0d\ There was a businessman in Jiyang when his boat sank when he was crossing the river. He grabbed a hemp stalk and shouted for help. A fisherman heard the sound and went there. The businessman hurriedly shouted: "I am the biggest rich man in Jiyang. If you can save me, I will give you 100 taels of gold." After being rescued ashore, the businessman turned his back on him. He only gave the fisherman 10 taels of gold. The fisherman blamed him for not keeping his word and going back on his word. The rich man said, "As a fisherman, you have never made much money in your life. Aren't you satisfied with suddenly getting ten taels of gold?" Ganfu had no choice but to leave in dismay. Unexpectedly, the rich man's boat capsized again. Someone wanted to save him, but Ganfu, who had been deceived by him, said: "He is the one who doesn't keep his words!" So the businessman drowned. It was accidental that the businessman capsized and met the same man twice, but the bad news for the businessman was to be expected. Because if a person does not keep his word, he will lose the trust of others. Therefore, once he is in trouble, no one is willing to come to his rescue. Those who break their trust will have no choice but to sit back and wait for death if they are in trouble. \x0d\\x0d\ There was a man named Ji Bu in the late Qin Dynasty. He always kept his word and had a very high reputation. Many people had established a strong friendship with him. There was even a proverb circulating at that time: "It is better to get Jibu Yinuo than to get a hundred catties of gold." (This is the origin of the idiom "A promise of a thousand catties") Later, he offended Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and was offered a reward for his arrest. As a result, his old friend not only was not deceived by the huge sum of money, but also risked the destruction of the nine tribes to protect him and save him from disaster. A person who is honest and trustworthy will naturally get a lot of help and can gain everyone's respect and friendship. On the other hand, if you are greedy for temporary comfort or small gains and break your trust with your friends, you will get "benefits" on the surface. But for this benefit, he ruined his reputation, and reputation is much more important than material things. Therefore, breaking trust with a friend is like losing a watermelon and picking up sesame seeds. The gain outweighs the loss. \x0d\\x0d\ In the early years, few foreigners set foot in the southern foothills of the Himalayas in Nepal. Later, many Japanese came here for sightseeing. It is said that this was due to the integrity of a young man. \x0d\　One day, several Japanese photographers asked a local boy to buy beer. The boy ran for more than three hours. \x0d\　The next day, the boy volunteered to buy beer for them again. This time the photographers gave him a lot of money, but the boy had not come back until the afternoon of the third day. As a result, the photographers talked a lot, thinking that the young man had cheated the money away. On the third night, the boy knocked on the photographer's door. It turned out that he only bought 4 bottles of beer in one place, so he climbed over another mountain and crossed a river to buy another 6 bottles. When he returned, he broke 3 bottles.

He cried, holding the broken glass, and handed back the change to the photographer. Everyone present was moved. This story moved many foreigners deeply. Later, more and more tourists came here. \x0d\\x0d\　In New York's Riverside Park stands the "Civil War Fallen Soldiers Monument." Every year, many tourists come to pay homage to the dead. The tomb of General Grant, the 18th president of the United States and commander of the Northern Army during the Civil War, is located in the north of the park. The mausoleum is tall, majestic, solemn and simple. Behind the mausoleum is a large green lawn that stretches to the edge of the park and to the edge of the steep cliff. \x0d\ Behind General Grant’s mausoleum, closer to the cliff, there is a child’s mausoleum. It was a very small and ordinary tomb. In any other place, you might ignore its existence. Like most American mausoleums, it has only a small tombstone. On the tombstone and a wooden sign next to it, there is a touching story about integrity:\x0d\The story happened in 1797, more than two hundred years ago. This year, when the little owner of this land was only five years old, he accidentally fell from the cliff here and died. His father was so heartbroken that he was buried here and a small mausoleum was built as a memorial. A few years later, the family declined and the old owner had to transfer the land. Out of love for his son, he made a strange request to the future owner of the land. He asked the new owner to regard the child's mausoleum as part of the land and never destroy it. The new owner agreed and wrote this condition into the contract. In this way, the child's tomb was preserved. \x0d\　A hundred years have passed. I don’t know how many times this land has been sold and resold, and I don’t know how many owners it has changed. The child’s name has long been forgotten by the world, but the child’s mausoleum is still there. It has been completely completed according to one sales contract after another. Preserved without loss. By 1897, this geomantic treasure was selected as the General Grant Cemetery. The government became the owner of the land, and the unknown child's grave remained intact in government hands, becoming a neighbor of General Grant's mausoleum. The tomb of a great history-maker and the tomb of an unknown child next to each other may be a unique wonder in the world. \x0d\Another hundred years later, in 1997, in memory of General Grant, the then New York Mayor Giuliani came here. At that time, it happened to be the 100th anniversary of the establishment of General Grant's Mausoleum and the 200th anniversary of the child's death. Mayor Giuliani personally wrote this touching story and engraved it on a wooden plaque to stand beside the Tomb of the Unknown Child. Next to me, let this story about integrity be passed down from generation to generation \x0d\\x0d\ A soldier was very bad at long-distance running, so he quickly fell far behind in a military cross-country race and ran alone. After turning a few turns, we came across a fork in the road. One road was marked for officers to run on; the other road was marked for soldiers to run on. He paused for a moment, and although he was dissatisfied that being an officer even allowed him to participate in cross-country races, he still ran towards the soldier's path. Unexpectedly, when we reached the finish line half an hour later, we were ranked first. He felt incredible, as he had never achieved a ranking, not even finishing in the top 50. However, the officer who presided over the race smiled and congratulated him on his victory. \x0d\　After a few hours, a large number of people arrived. They were exhausted from running and felt strange when they saw that he had won. But suddenly everyone realized how important it is to be honest and trustworthy at the crossroads. \x0d\\x0d\ When Lu Yuanying stayed in Dongdu, there was a minister who often played chess with him. Once, when the two were playing a game, an official document came suddenly. Lu Yuanying had to leave the chessboard and go to the public case to review the official document. The chess player took the opportunity to secretly move a chess piece, and finally defeated Lu Yuanying. In fact, Lu Yuanying had already seen that he was moving the chess pieces, but he didn't tell him. The next day, Lu Yuanying asked his chess friend to make a living elsewhere. No one else knew the reason for his dismissal, and he himself didn't know why he was dismissed. Before leaving, Lu Yuanying also presented money and gifts. \x0d\ The reason why Lu Yuanying wanted to fire this chess player was because he discovered his dishonesty when the chess player moved a chess piece and made a cunning little move. Integrity means being sincere and trustworthy. Integrity is an intangible asset in life and an important part of ideology and morality. "People cannot stand without trust." People who are dishonest cannot be good people, and it is difficult to live in the world. It is very dangerous and terrible to interact with people who have no integrity. \x0d\　Moving a chess piece seems to be a trivial matter, not worth taking seriously. But small things are not small, small things can make a big difference. Integrity is a virtue and a valuable kind of kindness; dishonesty is a bad virtue. The source of countless misfortunes and disasters in the world is all caused by bad virtues. There is no insurmountable gap between small and large. \x0d\ There are countless examples of honesty and trustworthiness at home and abroad. Sima Qian risked his life to directly judge Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty; Wei Zheng offended Yan Ji and truthfully accused Tang Taizong; Dai Zai, under coercion and inducement, would rather die than lie and frame others. \x0d\　Be honest and trustworthy, ranging from loyalty to the motherland to never lying and keeping your promises. \x0d\　Confucius had a student named Zeng Shen who was honest and trustworthy throughout his life. Once, Zeng Shen's wife was going to the market for shopping. In order to let the child stay at home, the wife promised the child to come back and kill pigs and roast pork for him to eat.

When the wife came back, she showed no sign of wanting to kill the pig. Zeng saw it and quickly raised his knife to kill the pig. When the wife saw it, she said angrily: "He is just a child, does he need to be so trustworthy?" Zeng Shen said, "Just because he is a child cannot be dishonest and trustworthy. We should treat everyone honestly and trustworthy. As long as you agree Others must do it. This is the basic principle of life. ”\x0d\　1). The story of the little cherry tree\x0d\\x0d\　Washington was the first president of the United States. One day when he was a child, Washington found a new ax bought by his father at home. Soon, he became the "master" of this axe. Take it into the garden and use it to cut grass and branches. Have fun! While playing, he suddenly thought: "My father can chop down big branches with an axe. Can I chop down a small tree with an axe?" It happened that there was a small cherry tree not far in front of him, so Washington ran He stepped forward, swung his ax and chopped down on the little cherry tree. One, two, and seven times, the little cherry tree fell down. When my father found that the garden was in a mess and his favorite cherry tree had been cut down, he was very angry. He walked into the house angrily and asked sharply: "Who cut down my cherry tree?" Washington knew at this time that he had got into trouble. But he only hesitated for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and looked at his father, and said sincerely: "Dad, I can't lie. I chopped down the tree with an axe. Indeed, I am willing to plant another one and never chop it down again." "As soon as Washington finished speaking, the anger on his father's face suddenly disappeared, and he praised Washington's "honest behavior is worth more than a thousand cherry trees." Later, the story of the little cherry tree spread, "I can't." Lying has also become a portrayal of Washington as a person. \x0d\\x0d\　2)． Ancient Chinese Integrity Story Huangfu Ji kept his word and asked for responsibility \x0d\\x0d\　 Huangfu Ji was a famous minister in the Sui Dynasty. His father died when he was three years old, and his mother could not support the family by herself, so she took him back to live with her parents' family. Grandpa saw that Huangfu Ji was so smart and pitiful that he had no father, so he loved him very much. \x0d\ My grandfather’s name is Wei Xiaokuan. The Wei family is a well-known local family and is very wealthy. Since there were many children in school at home, my grandfather hired a teacher and set up his own school, which was called a private school at the time. Huangfu Ji and his cousins ??all went to school in their own school. \x0d\　Grandpa is a very strict old man, especially when it comes to his grandchildren. When the private school started, a rule was set. If anyone failed to complete his homework without any reason, he would be re-taught twenty times in accordance with the family law. \x0d\　One day, after class in the morning, Huangfu Ji and several of his cousins ??hid in an abandoned small house and played chess. As soon as I was playful, it was time for afternoon class before I knew it. Everyone forgot to do the homework the teacher left in the morning. \x0d\　The next day, my grandfather found out about this. He called his grandchildren to the study and gave them a severe scolding. Then according to the rules, each person plays twenty boards again. \x0d\　Grandpa saw that Huangfu Ji was the youngest, and he was usually very well-behaved, and since he didn’t have a father, he couldn’t bear to beat him. So, he called him aside and said to him kindly: "You are still young, so I won't punish you this time. However, you can't make such mistakes again in the future. If you don't do your homework and learn your skills well, how can you achieve great things in the future?" ? "\x0d\" Huangfu Ji gets along well with his cousins, and the younger brothers love him very much. I was very happy to see that Xiao Huangfu Ji was not punished. However, Xiao Huangfuji felt very sad. He thought: My brothers and I made the same mistake and delayed our homework. Grandpa didn't punish me, it was because he felt sorry for me. But I can't indulge myself. I should also follow the rules of private sex and be beaten twenty times. \x0d\So, Huangfu Ji found his cousins ??and asked them to punish him twenty times on behalf of his father-in-law. When the cousins ??heard this, they all burst into laughter. Huangfu Ji said seriously: "This is the rule in the private school. We all promised grandpa that we would be punished if we broke the rules. Otherwise, we will not keep our promise. You have all been punished according to the rules, and I am no exception." \x0d\ Cousin They were all moved by Huangfuji's spirit of abiding by the rules of the school and sincerely reforming. So, he took out his ruler and hit Huangfu Ji with twenty big boards. \x0d\　 Later Huangfu Ji became a senior official in the imperial court, but the character of keeping promises and having the courage to admit mistakes that he had developed since childhood was never lost, which made him enjoy a high reputation among civil and military officials. \x0d\\x0d\　3)． Recovering integrity\x0d\\x0d\ That was something I experienced personally, and it made me understand the importance of integrity. \x0d\\x0d\　My mother bought a beautiful vase and she liked it very much. One day, I was playing at home and accidentally broke the vase. I was very anxious and thought: If my mother comes back and finds out, she will definitely beat me. At this moment, the doorbell rang, and my mother shouted: "It's going to rain outside, open the door quickly!" I was very conflicted. If I opened the door, my mother would definitely ask me if she saw it; if I didn't, what would happen? When I was hesitating, I suddenly saw the kitten next to me, and I had a bad idea\x0d\\x0d\ I opened the door, pretended to cry and said, "Mom, the kitten is jumping around and breaking the vase. "It's gone!" The mother suddenly became furious and hurriedly picked up the broom and hit the kitten hard. The pain caused the kitten to hide around and scream "meow meow" miserably.

The mother grabbed the kitten and dragged it out. The kitten looked at me with innocent eyes, as if to say: "Little master, you can't wrong me! You are dishonest!" I lowered my head in shame. The mother threw the kitten out of the door unceremoniously, closed the door with a bang, and said angrily: "Damn cat, you are such a naughty cat, I don't want it anymore!" At this time, my heart felt like it was being cut by a knife. Same, there is unspeakable pain. After all, the kitten has been living with me for more than a year. I usually love it so much! \x0d\\x0d\ When we were having dinner, it started raining heavily and it kept raining. I kept thinking about the kitten outside, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, so I begged my mother: "Mom, please let the kitten in, it's raining outside!" "No, no, it broke the vase. You should be punished if you do something wrong! You don't have to plead for it," my mother said while watching TV. I heard the sound of a kitten clawing at the door from outside. The sound was sad and heavy, and it seemed to be knocking at my heart. I started crying and said to my mother, "I'm sorry, I lied to you! I broke the vase, it's none of the kitten's business. If you want to hit me, just hit me and let the kitten in!"\x0d\\ x0d\　After hearing this, the mother hurriedly opened the door, picked up the injured and wet kitten, brought it in, and washed it clean. \x0d\\x0d\ I said to my mother in a pleading tone: "Mom, I shouldn't lie to people. I mustered up the courage to apologize to you and beg you to forgive me!" My mother touched me and said to me sincerely: "My child , you must know that a person should have integrity! Integrity is more important than money. It is worth it to exchange a vase for a very important life principle." I hugged the kitten and said softly: "Thank you for letting me. I have found my integrity! ”\x0d\\x0d\　4). If you are clever but you are misled by your cleverness, you can only suffer the consequences\x0d\\x0d\　There is a man named Jim who is very selfish and often lies and often uses Use clever ideas to deceive others. Many people have been teased by him, but they can't do anything about him. Once, he went on a long journey and had to take a long train. He wanted to buy a sleeper ticket, but thought it was too expensive, so he wanted to occupy a seat for two people and use it as a sleeper. He arrived at the train station early and stood in line at the front of the ticket gate. After checking the ticket, he quickly ran onto the train, picked a seat by the window and sat down. Then he put his luggage on the seat next to him and leaned on it, pretending to sleep. There were more and more people on the bus, and it became more and more crowded. Many people were standing, but Jim pretended not to notice and continued to lean on the luggage. When passengers asked him whose luggage belonged to him, he always said it belonged to someone else. There was a smart professor who guessed that Jim was lying, so he wanted to tease him and teach him a lesson. Jim is a smoker. He has wanted to go to the smoking room to smoke since he got on the train, but he has resisted going because he was afraid that others would take his seat. Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and left his seat to go to the smoking room. After Jim left, the smart professor moved Jim's luggage under the seat and on the shelves, and then asked an old lady to sit in that seat. When Jim came back, he found that his luggage had been taken away, so he confidently asked the old lady: "Where did you put your luggage?" The professor standing next to him politely replied: "Sir, the owner of the luggage just now said that he He had something urgent to do and had already got off the bus at the previous stop. He asked me to take his luggage to the next stop and throw it away." After Jim heard this, he wanted to say that the luggage was his, but he was embarrassed to say it for fear of being laughed at by the people around him. he. The next stop was approaching, and the professor started to pack Jim's luggage and was about to take it off the bus. Jim started to stop it. The professor said, "This is someone else's luggage. How can you stop me?" Jim hesitated for a long time, but he didn't do anything. Say a word and watch others throw his luggage. Afterwards, he had to get out of the car with his luggage in frustration, although he had not yet reached his destination. After he got off the bus, the passengers in the carriage couldn't help but burst into laughter.
