This is the motto for our school,i really love this slogan that the governments gave to our school,our school is owned by the government not a sole proprietorship.....
Honesty pays a lot,we need to always be sure when choosing things it's either we choose yes or no,we shouldn't be the one that is sacred that someone would beat us if we are wrong,we should speak the truth always and it would take us to a better place which we would enjoy,tho it may not come that very moment but you would be rewarded for being honest..
Speaking the truth always wouldn't take anything from us and wouldn't hurt us,we should always be truthful in everything we do because it has a long way to go...we would be rewarded for being truthful.
Let me tell you guys how being truthful was helpful...
My mom always tell me of a story of how she came from the village to live with my grandmother brother,she was working day and night for them because in that time children were taken from their mother with the intend to school them in lagos which they don't usually do and unknowingly my grandmother didn't know her daughter which is my mom now isn't schooling rather she was running errands and making all the house chores while the owner of the house was just sleeping and eating without even thinking of sending my mom to school....
On some occasions he did put some money in his pocket and would tell my mom to go and wash the clothes, unknowingly to my mother she would just check the cloth and keep the money and when she is done washing it she would go and give it to him..he was just testing to know what kind of person he is living with...
Honesty pays because you can get promoted in your place of work and get a reward for that why don't you just change from telling lies speak the truth and the heavenly father would also be happy with you.
Benefits of honesty.
1.it can get you promoted in your place of work.
2.You would be favoured by people around you.
3.You would leave a good example for others to follow.
4.You would be happy because you have said the truth rather than lying.
We need to teach our younger ones how to be honest because it pays alot,we are an example to the society at large so we should be honest and people would like us for that..
Being honest pays alot and i will continually say it as many times as i want to spread the word honesty,with honesty you can win the soul of your boss at work,you can be favoured by so many people in your community,why should we then tell lies which if would take us to hell let us endeavour that we all speak the truth always.
It's hard to speak the truth but you just have to do it so that you can clear your mind and be happy always.If everyone is honest I don't see why this world won't be a better place to be.
I can give you many instances where honesty pays..
There was a day when i went to the bank to collect some cash as we were lining up and on the queue there was a lady who was eager to collect money i think she was kind of late and trying to rush to work,as it was her turn to collect money from the atm machine,she collected her money and unknowingly to her she her purse fell off from her hand due to rushing her phones was inside and a huge amount of money was there when i took up the purse i just helped her in holding it,it was when she reached her place of work that she noticed that she had left her purse in the queue so she ran back and when she came i handed over her purse to her and then she counted the money and it was complete then she thanked me for helping her keep it and give me some money for doing so....
Honesty, kindness and generosity are brothers.
Those attribute i mentioned above work hand in hand so we just need to learn and have all of that,if all of us in this world can have all that attribute then this world would be a better place to live in...
Just have this at the back of your mind
Honesty is the best policy 💚
