Another of our values we adhere by at the YMCA is Honesty. I truly believe this is the one people find the hardest to do. I myself struggle with honesty some days. I can be REALLY good at telling "little white lies". I have found that even the little ones come back to kick you in the butt later in life. This is one value that I truly have had to work the hardest on!
One of the hardest things in this world is to admit you are wrong. And nothing is more helpful in resolving a situation than is frank admission. ~ Benjamin Disraeli
The man who cannot endure to have his errors and shortcomings brought to the surface and made known, but tries to hide them, is unfit to walk the highway of truth. ~ James Allen
An honest man can feel no pleasure in the exercise of power over his fellow citizens. ~ Thomas Jefferson
A true friend will tell you the truth to your face - not behind your back. ~ Sasha Azevedo
Each time you are honest and conduct yourself with honesty, a success force will drive you toward greater success. Each time you lie, even with a little white lie, there are strong forces pushing you toward failure. ~ Joseph Sugarman
