诚实是人类最有价值的人格之一。只有诚实才能使人被别人接受和信任。此外，不诚实对人的伤害很大。最经典的例子是关于一个男孩的故事《哭泣的狼》。他为自己的不诚实付出了巨大的代价。
Oneday,mycarefreegetboring,useaknifetoscrapeafewonthecornersofthedesk.Momdiscovered,immediatelyorderedmytwosisterandIcomeover,sternmotherahloudlyway:“whohasbrokenthedeskdesktop.”Ifeltveryupset,Ithought：ifItellher,asshehadthehabitof,willsurelybeatme,butshehassaid,makeamistake,itdoesn‘tmatter,aslongashonestmetasomatismisgoodgirl.SoIpluckedupthecouragetostandupandsay：“it’sme.”Unexpectedly,shenotonlydidnotcriticizeme,andpraisedtheofmyhonesty.
有一天，我的无忧无虑，用小刀在桌子的角上刮了几下。妈妈发现了，立即命令我和我两个妹妹过来，严厉的妈妈啊大声的道：“谁把书桌桌面弄坏了。”我心里很不爽，心想：如果我告诉她，她有这个习惯，肯定会揍我的，可是她说过，犯错了，没关系，只要老实交代就是好姑娘。于是我鼓起勇气站起来说：“是我。”没想到，她不但没有批评我，还称赞了我的诚实。

有一句英语谚语说“诚实是最好的政策”，它告诉我们诚实的重要性。诚实的好处是什么？如果你对别人诚实，他们也会对你诚实。当你难过的时候，他们会安慰你。当你遇到麻烦时，他们会帮助你。
诚实通常比不诚实要好。有时候诚实可能会给你带来麻烦或伤害某人，但总的来说，说真话比说谎更有害。
总之，诚实不仅给我们带来荣誉和友谊，也给我们带来物质上的收获。诚实是我们能接受的最好的政策。
