做人要诚实(It Pays to Be Honest)

　　although honesty is believed to be a virtue, there are still dishonest people in our society. for example, some businessmen sell fake product to their consumers; some students cheat in the exams.

　　dishonest people are short-sighted. those who sell fake products may make money at first, but consumers won't buy their products any more. as a result, they will lose their fortune or even be sent to prison. by contrast, honest people gain a lot.those who always tell truth or keep to their promise not only let others trust them but gain respect from other people as well. such persons are sure to have a lot of good friends. because they are trustable and respectable, everyone is eager to make friends with them, besides, it is easier for a person with a good record to get a good job. generally speaking, every employer wants his employees to be honest. so we can say that anyone who is honest will be paid back later.

　　in a word, honesty wins trust, respect and honor. so it is important that we should be honest.
