诚信,是衡量一个人的标准,一个人,如果做到了“诚信”二字,就一定会得到人们的尊重。下面是我分享的诚实议论文素材,一起来看一下吧。
(1)引言
诚实,能驱散人们心中的阴暗;诚实,将使人类有更多更真诚的爱。我们应该大力弘扬诚实的美德,让人们心灵更高沿,让世界变得更美好。
(2)事实论据
不知为不知
孔子一辈子勤于学习,知识渊博,后人尊称他为圣人。其实他本人还是很诚实,很谦虚的。他曾说过:“三人行,必有我师焉。”
有一次,孔子到齐国去,路上看见两个小孩在辩论。一个说:“早上的太阳凉飕飕的,一点也不热;可中午的太阳却像开水一样烫人,这不就说明早上太阳距亢我们远,中午太阳靠我们近吗?”另一个争辩道:“不对!早上太阳又大又贺,就像车顶上的篷盖那么大;可到了中午,太阳就变小了,顶多也不过菜盘那么大,近的东西大,远的东丁小,这是普通常识。”两个孩子争得不可开交时,抬头看见两个大人站在现前,就问那位年长者“你是谁?”年长者回答:“我叫孔丘,是鲁国人。”一个孩子高兴地说:“噢,原来是孔夫子呀,听说你很有学问。就请你评一评,看谁说得对。”孔子老老实实地承认:“这个问题我回答不了,以后我向理角学问的人请教一下,再来回答你们吧。”孩子们哈哈大笑起来:“人家都说孔夫子是个圣人,原来也有回答不了的问题呀!”孔子望着笑着离去的孩子,对身边的学生子路说:“在学习上知道的就说知道,不知道的就说不知道,只有抱着这种诚实态度,才能学到真正知识。”
裴度诚归玉带
裴度是唐代政治家,曾做过三朝宰相,虽其貌不扬,个头矮小,但为人诚实。
他从少年是规范就立下做人的`宗旨:“只要自己不欺心,不欺人,诚实、努力,将来一定会有所成就的。”在裴度十五六岁时,有一年秋天到城外香山寺游览。来寺院烧香的一位中年妇女丢失了一个绸布包,被裴度拾到,他一连两日在寺院门前等待失主。当那位妇人两日后从裴度手里接过自己绸布包后,一下子跪在地上,泣不成声地说:“您真是我家的大恩人啊!”妇人打开包裹,里面是两条镶满珍珠的玉带。原来这位妇人是准备用这两样东西去官府赎她父亲性命的。国灰其你正蒙冤被判成死罪。
诚实的门德尔松
英国维多利亚女王在白金汉官举行盛大的招待会,欢迎杰出的德国作曲家门德尔松来访。
署名门德尔松的《伊塔尔兹》曲子演奏以后,女王对他称赞道:“单凭这一个曲子,就可证明你是天才。”门德尔松平静地对女王说:“不,那是我妹妹芬妮亚的作品。”
原来芬妮亚也是个音乐造诣极深的音乐家。《伊塔尔兹》就是出自她手。由于几个史弟不赞成署女人之名,便商定用门德尔松的名字发表。

1、韩信报恩
汉朝的开国功臣韩信,处幼时家里很贫穷,常常衣食无着,他跟着哥哥嫂嫂住在一起,靠吃剩饭剩菜过日子。小韩信白天帮哥哥干活,晚上刻苦读书,刻薄的嫂嫂还是非常讨厌他读书,认为读书耗费了灯油,又没有用处。于是韩信只好流落街头,过着衣不蔽体,食不果腹的生活。有一位为别人当佣人的老婆婆很同情他,支持他读书,还每天给他饭吃。
面对老婆婆的一片诚心,韩信很感激,他对老人说:“我长大了一定要报答你。”老婆婆笑着说:“等你长大后我就入土了。”后来韩信成为著名的将领,被刘邦封为楚王,他仍然惦记着这位曾经给他帮助的老人。他于是找到这位老人,将老人接到自己的宫殿里,像对待自己的母亲一样对待她。
2、尼泊尔的少年
早年,尼泊尔的喜马拉雅山南麓很少有外国人涉足。后来,许多日本人到这里观光旅游,据说这是源于一位少年的诚信。一天,几位日本摄影师请当地一位少年代买啤酒,这位少年为之跑了3个多小时。第二天,那个少年又自告奋勇地再替他们买啤酒。这次摄影师们给了他很多钱,但直到第三天下午那个少年还没回来。
于是,摄影师们议论纷纷,都认为那个少年把钱走了。第三天夜里,那个少年却敲开了摄影师的门。原来,他只购得4瓶啤酒,尔后,他又翻了一座山,趟过一条河才购得另外6瓶,返回时摔坏了3瓶。他哭着拿着碎玻璃片,向摄影师交回零钱,在场的人无不动容。这个故事使许多外国人深受感动。后来,到这儿的游客就越来越多。
3、汽修店的故事
一个顾客走进一家汽车维修店,自称是某运输公司的汽车司机。“在我的帐单上多写点零件,我回公司报销后,有你一份好处。”他对店主说。但店主拒绝了这样的要求。顾客纠缠说:“我的生意不算小,会常来的,你肯定能赚很多钱!”店主告诉他,这事无论如何也不会做。顾客气急败坏的嚷道:“谁都会这么干的,我看你是太傻了。”
店主火了,他要那个顾客马上离开,到别处谈这种生意去,这时顾客露出微笑并满怀敬佩的握住店主的手:“我就是那家运输公司的老板,我一直在寻找一个固定的、信得过的维修店,你还让我到哪里去谈这笔生意呢?”面对诱惑,不怦然心动,不为其所惑,虽平淡如行云,质朴如流水,却让人领略到一种山高海深。这是一种闪光的品格——诚信。

诚信是一朵兰花,高洁地盛开在人们的心田;诚信是一杯香茗,氤氲了人们的心田;诚信是一首歌曲,唱响在世界的上空。以下是我为大家整理的诚信的议论文素材,欢迎大家参考阅读。
北宋词人晏殊,素以诚实著称。在他十四岁时,有人把他作为神童举荐给皇帝。皇帝召见了他,并要他与一千多名进士同时参加考试。结果晏殊发现考试是自己十天前刚练习过的,就如实向真宗报告,并请求改换其他题目。宋真宗非常赞赏晏殊的诚实品质,便赐给他“同进士出身”。晏殊当职时,正值天下太平。
于是,京城的大小官员便经常到郊外游玩或在城内的酒楼茶馆举行各种宴会。晏殊家贫,无钱出去吃喝玩乐,只好在家里和兄弟们读写文章。有一天,真宗提升晏殊为辅佐太子读书的东宫官。大臣们惊讶异常,不明白真宗为何做出这样的决定。真宗说:“近来群臣经常游玩饮宴,只有晏殊闭门读书,如此自重谨慎,正是东宫官合适的人选。”晏殊谢恩后说:“我其实也是个喜欢游玩饮宴的人,只是家贫而已。若我有钱,也早就参与宴游了。”这两件事,使晏殊在群臣面前树立起了信誉,而宋真宗也更加信任他了。
汉朝的开国功臣韩信,处幼时家里很贫穷,常常衣食无着,他跟着哥哥嫂嫂住在一起,靠吃剩饭剩菜过日子。小韩信白天帮哥哥干活,晚上刻苦读书,刻薄的嫂嫂还是非常讨厌他读书,认为读书耗费了灯油,又没有用处。于是韩信只好流落街头,过着衣不蔽体,食不果腹的生活。有一位为别人当用人的老婆婆很同情他,支持他读书,还每天给他饭吃。

曾子是孔子的学生。有一次,曾子的妻子准备去赶集,由于孩子哭闹不已,曾子妻许诺孩子回来后杀猪给他吃。曾子妻从集市上回来后,曾子便捉猪来杀,妻子阻止说:“我不过是跟孩子闹着玩的。”曾子说:“和孩子是不可说着玩的。小孩子不懂事,凡事跟着父母学,听父母的教导。现在你哄他,就是教孩子人啊”。
于是曾子把猪杀了。曾子深深懂得,诚实守信,说话算话是做人的基本准则,若失言不杀猪,那么家中的猪保住了,但却在一个纯洁的孩子的心灵上留下不可磨灭的阴影。
记载了一个因失信而丧生的故事 济阳有个商人过河时船沉了,他抓住一根大麻杆大声呼救。有个渔夫闻声而致。商人急忙喊:“我是济阳最大的富翁,你若能救我,给你100两金子”。待被救上岸后,商人却翻脸不认帐了。
他只给了渔夫10两金子。渔夫责怪他不守信,出尔反尔。富翁说:“你一个打渔的,一生都挣不了几个钱,突然得十两金子还不满足吗?”淦夫只得怏怏而去。不料想后来那富翁又一次在原地翻船了。有人欲救,那个曾被他过的淦夫说:“他就是那个说话不算数的人!”于是商人淹死了。
商人两次翻船而遇同一渔夫是偶然的,但商人的不得好报却是在意料之中的。因为一个人若不守信,便会失去别人对他的信任。所以,一旦他处于困境,便没有人再愿意出手相救。失信于人者,一旦遭难,只有坐以待毙。
郭汲,东汉人,官至大司空、太中大夫。他一贯注重恩德,在当时声誉很好。
郭汲在并州任职时,一次下去考察,途经美稷县,当地的孩子们闻讯后,自发地聚集到一起夹道欢迎他。郭汲不知情,就问:“小朋友,你们这是在干什么呀?”孩子们回答说:“听说您要来,我们特来欢迎!”郭汲闻言赶忙下马,一一答谢。在美稷县办完事后,孩子们又闻讯赶来送郭汲,并问他什么时候返回。郭汲立即让随从计算返程的日期,告诉了他们。
是聚合物的一种精华,一种力量。然而,欲聚合人心,更应有诚信之风相伴。诚信之风,累积人生的道德底线。美国的开国总统华盛顿小时候不小心砍倒了父亲心爱的樱桃树,但他并没有担心被责罚而欺瞒父亲,而是坦诚地向父亲承认错误。可见,诚信之风早已吹入幼时的华盛顿心中,让他为成为总统而拥有优良的道德,并在他的总统生涯中深得民心。诚信之风,弥合人与人之间的缝隙。曾看过这样一句话:“诚实是力量的一种象征,它显示着一个人的高度自重和内心的安全感于尊严感,”这句话可见其诚信的重要性,然而,在人际交往中,诚信占据了很重要的地位。“人无信而不立。”失去了诚信便不能再这个社会上立足。秦朝末年有个叫季布的人,一向很讲信用,是一位诚信的人。人们都说:“的黄金千斤,不如德季布一诺。”因此,正因诚信,季布才有好的人际关系,之后得到了朋友的帮助才幸免于难。由此可见,诚信在生活中拉近了人与人之间的距离,为拥有良好的人际关系起着不可磨灭的作用。诚信之风,取得美满的仕途。通往顺畅的事业之路,必不可少的便是这诚信。北宋词人晏殊即是如此。在他十四岁时,有人把他作为神童举荐给皇帝,皇帝召见他后,让他和一千多名进士一同考试。由于考题是晏殊曾做过的,他把实情告诉给皇上,并要求皇上重新出题。皇帝与大臣共同商议了一道难度更大的题目,
1昨天,在上英语课时发生了一件非常不好的事——我忘写作业。我从早上八点到英语万老师那里上课,结果一直被留到下午四点才回家。因为我忘记了一项作业抄单词的作业再加上我单词听写未过关,上完课就被老师留下来接受惩罚——罚抄单词每个一百遍。每个100遍?我抬头一看,补习班里就剩下了几个人。100遍,我的动作是不快,最慢不过两小时也能写完的。这样想就慢腾腾地抄着,偶尔还东张西望地瞧瞧。慢慢的我抄完100遍、200遍、300遍……抬头一看时间:呀,都已经12点了,我已抄了2个小时了一半也没抄到,完了还有3千多遍没抄呢,加把劲吧。突然,一阵饿意袭来,我才发现没吃饭,再一看老师那严厉的表情,我知道今天在劫难逃了。硬着头皮继续抄。特别希望老师今天大发慈悲,放我回家啊,可看老师那坚定的眼神,唉!是不可能了,告诉自己别做白日梦了,继续努力吧。我抄了700遍用了二小时,那起码也要抄六个小时才能写完这四千多遍。一点钟、二点钟,我饿的饥肠辘辘,用一只手抚着肚子不让肚子觉得饿,一千遍、二千遍、三千遍……就要抄完了,加了把劲啊!写呀写呀,还有三百遍、二百遍、一百遍……啊!写完了,终于写完了。我抄完四千多遍!一看时间呀,已经四点了,妈妈都要下班了。我赶紧把作业给老师检查完后,踏上自行车飞快往家骑去。一进家门首先弄点东西填肚子,我告诉自己以后再也不偷懒了,一定要按时完成作业,不想再饿肚子了。罚抄的事件告诉我无论做什么事都不能耍小聪明,要踏踏实实的去做,不要心存侥幸,最后吃亏的还是自己。
幽王有个宠妃叫褒姒,为博取她的一笑,周幽王下令在都城附近20多座烽火台上点起烽火——烽火是边关报警的信号,只有在外敌入侵需召诸侯来救援的时候才能点燃。结果诸侯们见到烽火,率领兵将们匆匆赶到,弄明白这是君王为博妻一笑的花招后又愤然离去。褒姒看到平日威仪赫赫的诸侯们手足无措的样子,终于开心一笑。五年后,酉夷太戎大举攻周,幽王烽火再燃而诸侯未到——谁也不愿再上第二次当了。结果幽王被逼自刎而褒姒也被俘虏。 失去诚信,最终受到损失的包括自己在内的社会生活中的每一个人时代呼唤诚信,社会需要诚信曾子杀猪 一个晴朗的早晨,曾子的妻子梳洗完毕,换上一身干净整洁的蓝布新衣,准备去集市买一些东西。她出了家门没走多远,儿子就哭喊着从身后撵了上来,吵着闹着要跟着去。孩子不大,集市离家又远,带着他很不方便。因此曾子的妻子对儿子说:“你回去在家等着,我买了东西一会儿就回来。你不是爱吃酱汁烧的蹄子、猪肠炖的汤吗?我回来以后杀了猪就给你做。”这话倒也灵验。她儿子一听,立即安静下来,乖乖地望着妈妈一个人远去。 曾子的妻子从集市回来时,还没跨进家门就听见院子里捉猪的声音。她进门一看,原来是曾子正准备杀猪给儿子做好吃的东西。她急忙上前拦住丈大,说道:“家里只养了这几头猪,都是逢年过节时才杀的。你怎么拿我哄孩子的话当真呢?”曾子说:“在小孩面前是不能撒谎的。他们年幼无知,经常从父母那里学习知识,听取教诲。如果我们现在说一些欺他的话,等于是教他今后去欺别人。虽然做母亲的一时能哄得过孩子,但是过后他知道受了,就不会再相信妈妈的话。这样一来,你就很难再教育好自己的孩子了。”曾子的妻子觉得丈夫的话很有道理,于是心悦诚服地帮助曾子杀猪去毛、剔骨切肉。没过多久,曾子的妻子就为儿子做好了一顿丰盛的晚餐。 曾子用言行告诉人们,为了做好一件事,哪怕对孩子,也应言而有信,诚实无诈,身教重于言教。 一切做父母的人,都应该像曾子夫妇那样讲究诚信,用自己的行动做表率,去影响自己的子女和整个社会。
我慢慢给你打吧 诚信是金诚信意味着讲实话做事公正。一个人如果说谎人是不诚实的。 一个人能获得成功并不仅是靠劳力更是靠诚信。 诚信是一种好的美德,如果你一直诚实,你就会被他人所尊敬和信任。一个说谎的人永远被别人瞧不起并被看作是害群之马。一旦你说谎,即使以后你再说实话人们也不会相信你了。 然而在当今商品经济的形式下,很多人往往舍弃诚信追求金钱。在他们看来,健康、美丽、金钱、智力、诚信、天赋中,诚信是最容易舍弃的。他们不明白也不想明白诚信是一个人最宝贵的财富,而且是做好事情的首要条件。我认为这些人值得同情。 一句话,诚信是金。你诚信了,你的名声就好,不诚实,你就不会受到尊重。因此,我们不要认为小谎言是不值一提的,而是应该马上在心中播下诚信的种子。

诚信(Good faith)这篇可以参考:)~~ It is true that most of us value honesty highly. However, nowadays we often confront confidence crisis such as cheating, overcharging, fake commodities and so on. I think that we should be honest because being honest is not only beneficial to ourselves but also to others and the whole society. The reasons can be listed as , only honest people can be truly respected by the others and can make more friends over a long period of time. Secondly, honesty, which is the traditional virtue of the Chinese people, can make our life easier and more harmonious. For example, consumers will not be afraid of being overcharged if dealers are honest, and thus dealers can win over more customers. Thirdly, honesty can make our society more stable. A case in point is that Singapore, a society featuring trustworthiness and integrity, has a comparatively low criminal rate. It goes without saying that being honest is of great benefit to both the community and individuals. There is no doubt that we should foster the spirit of honesty. In conclusion, laying stress on honesty will become the public morals in our society. 回答者:萍mm - 首席执行官 十四级 4-7 07:02 wjbdehaoma,我选了一篇Jerald Wayne Strickland在University of Houston毕业典礼的演讲.他选用了一个他的病人的故事,来说名医生和病人间的信任,This brings to mind a truism from the American frontier: “Honesty and integrity are not something you should flirt with—you should be married to them... 你可用自己亲身经历过的或是自己知道的关于的诚实故事,来增加你的演说的感染力. 个人意见,仅供参考. 祝好! Jerald Wayne Strickland Interim Senior Vice President of Academic Affairs, University of Houston Curator Ream, Chancellor George, Provost Cope, Dean Davis, distinguished faculty, graduates, friends and family members, I am so pleased to be with you on this special occasion. Thank you Dean Davis for the wonderful introduction, and I bring warm wishes from my University to the 2005 graduates, their families and guests, and to the faculty and administration of the College of Optometry. I am especially pleased to join University of Missouri System Curator, Dr. Anne Ream, Dean Larry Davis and the faculty to celebrate this most important event in the life of an optometrist, the sudden and abrupt change from professional student to doctor. Graduates, it is a very high order privilege and distinct honor for me to address you today, and I am humbled by your collective accomplishments as students, as clinicians and as citizens. The 28 women and 16 men who are members of the Class of 2005 come from thirteen (13) states. You joined this fine university and college four years ago as eager students with strong academic backgrounds and collegial spirits. I checked with the dean and a few members of your class earlier today and I am happy to report that your spirits have not been broken, nor your intellectual curiosity diminished. One could rate the approximately 1,200 members of the Optometry Class of 2005 across this nation as the best we have graduated, indeed with the many changes in our practicing profession and consequently in the preparatory curriculum one can feel quite safe in making such a statement at this and, hopefully, subsequent commencements. In addition to these accolades, one should realize that only 1/100th of 1 percent of the world’s population achieves the doctoral level of education. Therefore, from a global perspective, this is truly a remarkable achievement. I read recently that brevity, humor and celebrity are important in graduation speeches. If I can do one out of three, I feel I have accomplished my goal. I want to tell you a story and share a simple message with you. Mrs. Brown was a longtime patient of mine at the University Eye Institute. We had worked through systemic and eye diseases and related conditions over about 8 years. She was a regular, annual patient who felt comfortable about calling me when she had questions and sharing with me issues related to her healthcare needs. We had dealt with open angle glaucoma, cataract surgery, diabetes, hypertension and frequent changes in her refractive error. About 4 years ago I received one of those regular phone calls but this time there was sadness in her voice. Remember, I was the one person of only a few with whom she shared her health and vision problems and sometimes personal problems. I was “Her Eye Doctor” and we had long ago passed the cross cultural communication barrier. As we talked, Mrs. Brown began to cry as she shared the fact that her health insurance and subsequent Medicare changes would no longer pay for her visits nor the diagnostic and therapeutic services that I prescribed. Although commonplace today, these sudden and often traumatic changes in medical service providers disregard the importance of trust, understanding and respect developed over time between patient and doctor. This scenario happens only too often where this important relationship between doctor and patient is strained and often severed due to impersonal and external factors. The story of Mrs. Brown has been repeated tens of thousands of times in optometry, medicine, dentistry, osteopathy, podiatry, pharmacy, etc. For many, the doctor-patient relationship has been replaced with impersonal third party shepherding of patients from provider to provider. Many of you have experienced this disruption in your healthcare. Mrs. Brown did still stay in touch with me, about once every year, with a phone call to me or my staff bringing us up-to-date on her health and vision problems. She had many doctors over those years. The reason I tell you this story is to demonstrate and emphasize to you that trust, understanding and respect are powerful magnets for doctors and their patients. A breach of these will likely repel. Good doctor-patient relationships are built on honesty and integrity and withstand external pressures, influences and even misunderstandings. A trusting doctor-patient relationship is not easily disturbed, and we see in the example of my patient, Mrs. Brown, it can prevail. I was sure when Mrs. Brown did have a choice to return to me as her eye doctor, she would bring her family and friends. Well, it happened! About 2 years ago, during our annual phone call, she seemed excited and most cheerful—“Doctor, I have made an appointment to see you next month, the insurance tides have turned.” This brings to mind a truism from the American frontier: “Honesty and integrity are not something you should flirt with—you should be married to them.” Honesty, trust, compassion, fairness, patience, understanding, respect, dignity, confidentiality, good citizenship, charity and beneficence are most worthy traits for all citizens, but they are mandatory traits for those of us who occupy positions of high responsibility for human and health services. This is not a case where 80% or even 90% of those attributes is acceptable—it’s 100%—much like take-offs and landings and action potentials, it’s all or none. Most persons have a tincture of each of these traits, but for the healthcare provider it is an imperative to have a large therapeutic and preventive dose. If one samples patients regarding the traits of the “best doctors” they know or have experienced, each of the previously noted virtues can be found. Patients want and expect their doctors to be professionally virtuous and to be model citizens. You will soon take the “Optometric Oath” which allows you to state before family, friends, colleagues and your faculty, your ethical and professional convictions. In the 4th century ., the Greek physician Hippocrates, the “Father of Medicine,” laid out common sense ethical principles which are known to all of us in the health professions. They deal with respect, fairness, justice, confidentiality, honesty and quality of care. “The Hippocratic Oath.” Sound familiar? Yes, and after 17 centuries. There is one somewhat lesser known component of the Hippocratic Oath; it is “Respect for your teachers.” Simply stated, Hippocrates wrote and pledged: “To hold him (or now her) who has taught me this art as equal to my parents and to live my life in partnership with him (her).” For your distinguished and patient faculty members who have played roles as teacher, mentor and counselor in your career, continue this relationship and trust and respect them and the institution which has embraced you for four years. Another truism from the American frontier: “When you get to where you are goin’, the first thing to do is take care of the horse you rode in on.” There are few things in higher education that reach the level of pride and satisfaction for a faculty member than to share one’s knowledge, skill and experience with others who will go forth and practice (and teach others). Back to Mrs. Brown. She taught me important lessons in doctor-patient relations—ones that work, ones, which I hope you will embrace, and practice--- honesty, integrity, understanding, respect and trust. Congratulations and best wishes and stay the course and lead the profession of optometry to new heights, and remember Mrs. Brown, every patient can be a Mrs. Brown. Finally, you are now entering the ranks of the optometric profession with our high expectation that you will continue the leadership traditions of Irvin Borish, Anne Ream, Jack Bennett, Larry Davis, your distinguished faculty, and your state and national optometric leaders. I challenge each of you to distinguish yourself in all aspects of the profession. I promise you the result will indeed be fulfilling and rewarding. “Bite off more than you can chew and chew it!” I leave you with some advice from the sage and plainspoken Will Rogers: “Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment” and “Never miss a good chance to shut up” It has been an honor to be with you today.或者是:It is undeniable that dishonesty in our society, which does us much harm in many respects, has aroused public concern nowadays. For example, many doctors sell unnecessary but expensive medicines to their patients in order to get more money, And a lot of people buy fake certificates so that they can get better jobs. Also, some students cheat on exams. Even such famous star as Ouyang San, once considered China’s movie king, cheated the government on income taxes It is unequivocally well known that being honest is beneficial to the people involved. Meanwhile, a sense of honesty builds up in others’ hearts, which, in turn, will earn you true friendship. But it is probably less well known that being honest in equally beneficial to ourselves. Despite the widespread practices of dishonesty, we should take firm steps to end this unhealthy trend, so as to make the world more beautiful.
With our world developing,more and more people neglect how to conduct is the most common reflection of this phenomenon is dishonesty,which is now seriously influencing relationship between people.
Being dishonest can do harm not only to others but also to ourselves,thus,we must get aware of the importance of the case of the Sanlu powder for drinking Sanlu fake powder,lots of babies got sick and had big heads,nevertheless,their bodies still hateful too much,the Sanlu corporation expectedly get punished and never have choice to make up their faults.
When it comes to the significances of being honest,I consider,we will make good relationship bewteen others,such as in the school ,in the busineand in the if we are honest to others can others become friendly to a virtue of honesty and we will get better.
Honesty Is Gold
Honesty means speakingthe truth and being fair and upright in act. He who lies and cheats is dishonest.: Those who gain fortunes not by hard labour but by other means is dishonest.
Honesty is a good virtue. If you are honest all the time,you’ll be trusted and respected by others. A liar is always looked down upon and regarded as a black sheep by the people around. Once you lie, people will never believe you even if you speak the truth.
However, in the tide of commodity economy today, it seems that more and more people believe in money at the sacrifice of honesty. To them, among such things as health, beauty, m6ney, intelligence, honesty, reputation and talent, honesty is the only thing that can be east away. They don’t understand or pretend not to understand that honesty is the biggest fortune humans own, and that it is the prerequisite for doing everything well. I think these people areto be pitied.
In short, honesty is gold. Honest, your reputation will become great;dishonest, your name will be spoiled and your personality degraded. Therefore, we should never make such an excuse as "A little dishonesty is only a trifle thing. We should eradicate immediately the seed of dishonesty once it is sowed in our minds.
Almost all of us heard the story “Here Comes the Wolf” when we were little kids. What we can learn from the story is that we must be honest. However, there’re lots of phenomena of dishonesty nowadays。
Being dishonest does great harm not only to other people but also to yourself. Take the case of fake milk powder for example. After drinking this kind of milk, the babies had big heads while their legs and arms were still thin, which badly affected their health. To our great relief, the producers got accused and punished for all the serious consequences in the end。
Having the reputation of being honest and reliable will make other people trust you, which will provide you many benefits and give you opportunities that others may not get. Being honest, you will find it easier to cooperate with others and people will be friendly to you and support you. In a sense, if life is a long journey, honesty will be the backpack that should be taken along all the way. Let’s pick up our “backpack”—honesty, and start the wonderful journey!
It is true that most of us value honesty highly. However, nowadays we often confront confidence crisis such as cheating, overcharging, fake commodities and so on. I think that we should be honest because being honest is not only beneficial to ourselves but also to others and the whole society. The reasons can be listed as , only honest people can be truly respected by the others and can make more friends over a long period of time.
Secondly, honesty, which is the traditional virtue of the Chinese people, can make our life easier and more harmonious. Thirdly, honesty can make our society more stable. A case in point is that Singapore, a society featuring trustworthiness and integrity, has a comparatively low criminal rate.
Responsbility can be understood in many ways. for the parents , they have had the responsibility for caring for and fostering their children since the birth of their teachers,both in kindergartens and colleges,they also should be responsible for the study and life of their students,that is to say,teahers are the second parents of children somewhile.
for us,as a friend of others,it is our responsibility to help our friends when they are in trouble or faced with difficulties. each one has the different responsibily based on their roles but we must take it for granted that we are responsible for the society.
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 wont 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 behonest.
Nowadays people are troubled with mass of dishonest behaviors in society。 Teachers get annoyed when they catch students cheating on exams; consumers get hurt when they unfortunately buy some fake products; children are misled when they see their parents tell lies so as to evade the responsibility they should take。
Why do people cheat? The main reason probably lies in immediate interest they may obtain by cheating。 For example, a company, which manufactures fake products, may seem to win for a moment because it can minimize its manufacture cost by doing so。 This kind of businesses, however, will be driven out of the market in the long run。 For the consumers after getting to know the poor quality of the products will not buy them anymore。
The same is true of individuals。 Dishonest people dare not take on the responsibility of life。 They cheat in class, in office, at home and so on。 But the truth can hardly be masked。 The moment the truth comes out they will lose their credibility, which is easier to destroy than to rebuild。 Consequently, these dishonest will suffer a long time because of their cheating behaviors。 In conclusion, no one can afford to be dishonest in a civilized society。
Honesty is the pillar of a society。 People will benefit from being honest in the long run。 Thats why we say it pays to be honest。
Honesty is a long-lasting virtue of people and is regarded as the most important quality. People give admiration to those people who are honest, while hate those who often tell lies. However, some people say that in market economy, honesty tends to be less important. But in my point of view, honesty will never be out of date no matter how the situation changes.
Firstly, honesty is always the mainstream in our society and those people who are sincere are respected. On the contrast, the dishonest will be excluded by others. Secondly, no matter in the daily life or in business, people would like to build relationships with the honest. Honesty is the basis of true friendship. In the business, those who make money at the cost of honesty certainly will pay the price in someday. Finally, honesty should become part of our personality that we should treat it as the most valuable fortune of ours. It may not brings you material benefit, but you spirit must be rich.
In short, honesty is an important quality that should deeply root in everyones heart.
诚实是人的一种持久美德,被看作是最重要的品质。人们尊敬那些诚实的人,同时讨厌那些经常说谎的人。然而,有的人说在市场经济的社会,诚实变得没那么重要了。但是,在我看来,不管时代怎么变化,诚实永远不会过时。
首先,诚实一直是当今社会的'主流,那些真诚的人得到尊敬。相反,不诚实的人会受到他人的排斥。其次,不管是在日常生活中还是在生意场上,人们都喜欢和诚实的人建立关系。诚实是真正友谊的基础。在生意场上,那些以诚实为代价去赚钱的人某一天一定会付出代价的。最后,诚实应该成为我们性格的一部分,我们应该把它看做是我们最宝贵的财富。它不仅给你带来物质利益,而且你的精神会更富裕。
总之,诚实是每个人应该牢记于心的一项重要品质。
In our modern social life, there is no denying the fact that numerous adverse dishonest behavior around us . Those phenomenon have caused wide attention.

Last summer holiday, I went to the International English summer camp in Shanghai.
On 24th July, my two good friends and I were on duty. When we finished cleaning the classroom, it was about 8:50 in the evening. Then we prepared to go to students’ the building, it was very dark. There was only a moon and some small stars in the sky. At that moment, we were all afraid.
On our way to the dorm, I walked in front of them. I was looking at the ground while I was walking. Suddenly, I saw several pieces of paper on the ground. What is it? I was very curious. Then I picked it up. Oh, it was money. It was 45 yuan altogether. Later, one of my friends ran to me, “May, look, I found 5 yuan!” Was this a coincidence? I put the money together. When I got to my bedroom. I gave the money to the teacher. At last, the teacher found the owner.
Money is important, but money is not anything and cannot buy all the things in the world.
Honesty is one of these kinds of things. It’s really important for everyone to be honest. If everyone can be honest, I believe our world will be more wonderful!
On Maintaining Honesty By saying Rare as is true love, true friendship is rarer, Jean de la Fontaine has pointed out the importance of friendship. Nowadays, it seems that people get closer to each other by means of the increasingly advanced communicating technologies, yet the closeness of hearts has in fact been distanced. Therefore, it is high time that we should attach great importance to maintain this precious sentiment.
Everyone need the warmth of friendship. In good times, friendship is flowers growing fast because we irritate it by sharing our joy and happiness; in adversity, friendship is a dose of consolation since friends are always there ready to help. Also, friendship is the effective lubricator for cooperative organizations, communities and different countries in the process of cooperation and development.
As friendship is so important in our life, actions should be taken to pursue and maintain it. And it involves trust and honesty in establishing and maintaining true friendship. Frankness and uprightness contribute to a good relationship. Moreover, tolerance and modesty also help promote the closeness of friends. Only by doing these things will we retain our friends and keep the lamp of friendship burning long.
Almost all of us heard the story “Here Comes the Wolf” when we were little kids. What we can learn from the story is that we must be honest. However, there’re lots of phenomenas of dishonesty nowadays.
Being dishonest does great harm not only to other people but also to yourself. Take the case of fake milk powder for example.

Being honest, you will find it easier to cooperate with others and people will be friendly to you and support you. In a sense, if life is a long journey, honesty will be the backpack that should be taken along all the way.
Let’s pick up our “backpack”—honesty, and start the wonderful journey!
当我们还是孩子的时候都听过“狼来了”的故事。我们可以从这个故事学到我们必须诚实。然而,如今还是有很多不诚实的现象存在。
不诚实不仅对其他人还是自己都危害极大。拿假奶粉案为例,喝这种牛奶的婴儿头会变大但是他们的胳膊和腿依然很瘦,这将会严重影响他们的健康。令我们欣慰的是,生产者最后因为严重的后果受到了指责和惩罚。
有信誉和诚实可靠会让别人信任你,这将会给你提供许多好处和别人得不到的机会。守诚信,你会发现它更容易与他人合作,人们会对你友好并且支持你。在某种意义上,如果生活是长途旅行,诚实是路上的必备品。
让我们拿起我们的“背包”-诚实,并开始奇妙的旅程!
Honesty is one of the most treasured traditional values in China. The children are taught to be honest when they are very young. At schools the students are also instructed to be honest.
However, with the development of soclety, we often hear complaints about dishonesty. Reports with the theme of dishonesty often appear in the media. For example, some people try to get rich and llve a comfortable life. But they do not work hard honestly, instead they cheat others. They sell something quite ordinary at a very high price, clalnfing it is a priceless piece he inherited from his great father. Some peoples delaying paying back the loan can serve as another example. Some people, including some college students get loan from the hank, and pronfise to pay within, say, 3 years. However, they dont do that.
The dishonest people sometimes can get benefit from their behaviors. So some people assert that dishonesty can bring people benefit,while honesty only makes people suffer. Is that so? Definitely not. It is always true that honesty is the best policy. It pays to be honest. The cheater selling the treasure mentioned above will surely be disclosed and punished some day. On the contrary, if he had been honest, neither the buyer nor he himself would have suffered. The people who do not return money in time will sooner or later become notorious, and will not get the money from others again. If he had acted differently, he would have earned respect and trust, meanwhile, the bank would not have suffered from loss.
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic It Pays to Be Honest. You should write at least 120 words according to the outline given below in Chinese:1.当前社会上存在许多不诚实的现象;2.诚实利人利己,做人应该诚实。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 products to their consumers; some students cheat on exams; some applicants find jobs by using fake diplomas; some people tell lies to avoid responsibility or avoid being punished.
Dishonest people are short sighted. What they do brings harm not only to others but also to themselves. Those who sell fake products may make money at first, but once they were found out, no one will buy their products any more. Asaresult, they will lose their fortune. What is more, they will even be sent to prison. In contrast, honest people gain a lot. What they do brings benefit to others as well as to themselves. Those who always tell truth or keep to their promise can win trust and respect from their customers. Because they are trustworthy and respectable, everyone is eager to be their friend and everyone wants to buy their products. Undoubtedly, they will make a great fortune in the end.
In a word, honesty wins trust, respect and honor. So it is important that we should be honest in whatever we do and say.
Honest is something very important in the present society. As people are clever and clever and the temptation is more and more, some people will lie to get what they want. This is not good. If you lie once, you will lie twice and then three times. That is not the end. You will lie easier day by day.
Then you will become a person only telling lies. No one will trust you. How terrible! Although sometimes to be honest may make you suffer little losses, mostly are some insignificant losses.
As a result, you can earn others’ trust. Besides, if you always lie to others, they will do the same to you. How does a world will be? I think I don’t need to emphasize the importance of trust. Trust can make things totally different. Just to be an honest person for you and others.
诚实在当今社会是非常重要的。随着人们变得越来越聪明,而且诱惑也越来越多,有些人会通过说谎来得到他们想要的东西。这是不好。如果你说了一次谎,你就会说第二次,第三次。第三次并不代表着结束,你说起谎来会变得越来越容易。
之后,你就会成为一个满口谎言的人。没有人相信你。多么可怕!虽然有时候诚实会让你蒙受损失,但是基本上都是一些微不足道的损失。
因此,你赢得了别人的信任。而且,如果你总是欺别人,他们也会同样对你。这样的话,我们的世界将变成什么样子?我认为我不需要强调信任的重要性。信任能让事情变得完全不一样。为了自己也为了别人,做一个诚实的人吧。
诚信,是一种美德,是一种源源不断的财富,是一种取之不尽,用之不竭的智慧。那么,以诚信为话题的议论文素材有哪些呢?下面和我一起来看看吧!

1、晋文公以信服众
春秋时期,五霸之一的晋国攻打小国原。晋文公重耳命令出征部队只带三天的军粮,三天攻打不下,部队就撤退。原国凭城固守,顽强抵抗,三天已到,未能攻下原国,晋文公文令撤退,军队统帅请求说:根据情报,原国已不能久守了,等原国投降后再撤。晋文公说:“信用,乃立国之本,百姓的依靠,为了得到原而失信于百姓,那是得不偿失。”晋军按晋文公命令撤退三十里。原国闻讯后自愿投降了晋国。
2、李苦禅守信焚画
我国当代著名国画大师李苦禅,为人重诺守信。他曾允诺一位老友索画的要求,后因生病和另一些事情牵扯,耽误了及时作画。后来他的那位老友突然病故,他闻讯后悔恨不已,立即挥毫作“百莲图”,郑重地题款钤印,随后携画至后院,肃立焚烧,祭典亡灵。事后,他不无自惭地对儿子说:“今后若再有老友索画,要及时提醒我,做人可不能失信啊!”

1. 孔子教学以诚为本
一次,孔子与他的学生们在一起谈论待人之道。子路说:“人善我,我亦善之;人不善我,我不善之。”意思是,别人用善意待我,我也用善意待他;别人用不善待我,我也用不善待他。孔子评价道:“由之所持,蛮貊之言也。”意为这是没有道德礼仪的夷狄之间的做法。子贡说:“人善我,我亦善之;人不善我,我则引之进退而已耳。”意思是,别人用善意待我,我也用善意待他;别人用不善待我,我就引导他向善。孔子评价道:“赐之所言,朋友之言也。”意为这是朋友之间应该有的做法。颜回说:“人善我,我亦善之;人不善我,我亦善之。”意思是,别人用善意待我,我也用善意待他;别人用不善待我,我也用善意待他,并引导他向善。孔子评价道:“回之所言,亲属之言也。”意为这是亲人之间应该有的做法。如果能够把它扩开去,以诚心对待天下人才是真正的与人为善啊!
2. 为政应取信于民(商鞅立木取信)

北宋词人晏殊,素以诚实著称。在他十四岁时,有人把他作为神童举荐给皇帝。皇帝召见了他,并要他与一千多名进士同时参加考试。结果晏殊发现考试是自己十天前刚练习过的,就如实向真宗报告,并请求改换其他题目。宋真宗非常赞赏晏殊的诚实品质,便赐给他“同进士出身”。晏殊当职时,正值天下太平。
于是,京城的大小官员便经常到郊外游玩或在城内的酒楼茶馆举行各种宴会。晏殊家贫,无钱出去吃喝玩乐,只好在家里和兄弟们读写文章。有一天,真宗提升晏殊为辅佐太子读书的东宫官。大臣们惊讶异常,不明白真宗为何做出这样的决定。真宗说:“近来群臣经常游玩饮宴,只有晏殊闭门读书,如此自重谨慎,正是东宫官合适的人选。”晏殊谢恩后说:“我其实也是个喜欢游玩饮宴的人,只是家贫而已。若我有钱,也早就参与宴游了。”这两件事,使晏殊在群臣面前树立起了信誉,而宋真宗也更加信任他了。
汉朝的开国功臣韩信,处幼时家里很贫穷,常常衣食无着,他跟着哥哥嫂嫂住在一起,靠吃剩饭剩菜过日子。小韩信白天帮哥哥干活,晚上刻苦读书,刻薄的嫂嫂还是非常讨厌他读书,认为读书耗费了灯油,又没有用处。于是韩信只好流落街头,过着衣不蔽体,食不果腹的生活。有一位为别人当用人的老婆婆很同情他,支持他读书,还每天给他饭吃。
面对老婆婆的一片诚心,韩信很感激,他对老人说:“我长大了一定要报答你。”老婆婆笑着说:“等你长大后我就入土了。”后来韩信成为著名的将领,被刘邦封为楚王,他仍然惦记着这位曾经给他帮助的老人。他于是找到这位老人,将老人接到自己的宫殿里,像对待自己的母亲一样对待她
曾子是孔子的学生。有一次,曾子的妻子准备去赶集,由于孩子哭闹不已,曾子妻许诺孩子回来后杀猪给他吃。曾子妻从集市上回来后,曾子便捉猪来杀,妻子阻止说:“我不过是跟孩子闹着玩的。”曾子说:“和孩子是不可说着玩的。小孩子不懂事,凡事跟着父母学,听父母的教导。现在你哄他,就是教孩子人啊”。
于是曾子把猪杀了。曾子深深懂得,诚实守信,说话算话是做人的基本准则,若失言不杀猪,那么家中的猪保住了,但却在一个纯洁的孩子的心灵上留下不可磨灭的阴影。
记载了一个因失信而丧生的故事 济阳有个商人过河时船沉了,他抓住一根大麻杆大声呼救。有个渔夫闻声而致。商人急忙喊:“我是济阳最大的富翁,你若能救我,给你100两金子”。待被救上岸后,商人却翻脸不认帐了。
他只给了渔夫10两金子。渔夫责怪他不守信,出尔反尔。富翁说:“你一个打渔的,一生都挣不了几个钱,突然得十两金子还不满足吗?”淦夫只得怏怏而去。不料想后来那富翁又一次在原地翻船了。有人欲救,那个曾被他过的淦夫说:“他就是那个说话不算数的人!”于是商人淹死了。
商人两次翻船而遇同一渔夫是偶然的,但商人的不得好报却是在意料之中的。因为一个人若不守信,便会失去别人对他的信任。所以,一旦他处于困境,便没有人再愿意出手相救。失信于人者,一旦遭难,只有坐以待毙。
郭汲,东汉人,官至大司空、太中大夫。他一贯注重恩德,在当时声誉很好。
郭汲在并州任职时,一次下去考察,途经美稷县,当地的孩子们闻讯后,自发地聚集到一起夹道欢迎他。郭汲不知情,就问:“小朋友,你们这是在干什么呀?”孩子们回答说:“听说您要来,我们特来欢迎!”郭汲闻言赶忙下马,一一答谢。在美稷县办完事后,孩子们又闻讯赶来送郭汲,并问他什么时候返回。郭汲立即让随从计算返程的日期,告诉了他们。
