Honesty comes in many forms. First there's selfhonesty. Is what people see the real article or do you appear through smoke and mirrors? I find that if I try to be something I'm not, I will feel unsure of① myself and take out a part from my PBA(personal bank account). I love how singer Judy Garland put it, “Always be a firstclass version② of yourself instead of a secondclass version of somebody else.”

Then there's honesty in our actions. Are you honest at school with your parents and with your boss? If you've ever been dishonest, I think we all have, try being honest and notice how whole③ it makes you feel. Remember you can't go wrong and feel right.This story by Jeff is a good example of that:
In my second year of study there were three kids in my math class who didn't do well. I was really good at it. I would charge④ them three dollars for each test that I helped them pass. I'd write all the right answers on a little piece of paper and hand them off⑤.

At first I felt like I was making money, kind of⑥ a nice job.I wasn't thinking about how it could hurt all of us. After a while I realized I shouldn't do that anymore because I wasn't really helping them. They weren't learning anything and it would only get harder down the road. Cheating certainly wasn't helping me.
It takes courage to be honest when people all around you are getting away with cheating on tests, lying to their parents and stealing at work. But, remember, every act of honesty is a deposit⑦ into your PBA and will build strength.
