"Old Saying has Ongoing Transparancy" by Susan Pearl

Honesty is the best policy.


The base on which we make our decisions is our policy of how we conduct ourselves and actions we do personally and in doing business.
Honesty is the best policy. and our policy should be honesty.  In today's world there is a lot of talk about transparency. To peel back the layers for others to see in openness what the basic concept is to form the decisions made on a matter. If the basic foundation is honesty and to work towards being honest there should be a clear picture of transparency for all to see.  Quality assurance teams can be set in place to monitor that the policy is being carried out in the utmost highest quality possible.

When I was young I was told "Honesty is the best policy".  I was told not to cheat especially on tests and I didn't have to cheat to win a game because that would not be honest.  I was told not to lie or exaggerate or stretch the truth and not to steal.  It was an ideal placed before me to try to live up to.
In time I have learned the first person we have to be honest is ourselves.  That opens the gate and sets the pace and base of the policy we live by to make our decisions.  We have to live with our decisions. If we make our decisions with the information we have at the time of the decision we should not second guess ourselves but know we did our best at making an honest assessment.

Honesty is the best policy.  Be responsible and make responsible decisions based on honesty.
