Ladies and Gentlemen:

My name is xxx。Today,My topic is Honesty.

As a correspondent of the Qingdao Morning News, I visited Dr. James Gilman, the President of the International Committee for Marco Polo Studies in England. In this picture, this is James, and this is me and we are looking at a dragon’s tooth. This is a true story.

65 years ago, James lived in Qingdao. Then he was only 5 years old. He often visited the Aquarium and was fascinated by a creature on display there, which he thought was a dragon. He was afraid of its sharp teeth and wanted one to keep as a treasure.

In the late 1930s, when the Japanese occupied Qingdao, his family had to leave. On his last day in Qingdao, he ran to the Aquarium and pulled out one of the teeth from the dragon’s mouth.

He kept the tooth for the next 65 years, but the feeling of guilt at having stolen it was there in the background all through his life. It was always on his conscience, and the feeling intensified as he became older. Finally he decided to put right his childish error. In 20__, he visited Qingdao and returned it to the Aquarium with his sincere apologies. He received a warm welcome.

When James visited Qingdao, I accompanied him all the time and reported on his visit. I was deeply touched by his honesty. It has taught me a lot. I think to err is human. The important thing is to have the courage to admit and correct one’s error.

Honesty is a vital quality of human behaviour. So we should try to keep an honest mind in everything we say and do. I would like to say to all of my friends: Let’s be honest people of good moral character.

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 follows.

Firstly, 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 goodliness.

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. Responsibility 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 baby. For teachers, both in kindergartens and colleges, they also should be responsible for the study and life of their students, that is to say, teachers 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 responsibility based on their roles ,but we must take it for granted that we are responsible for the society.

Integrity is a little star, small but merged into a dream like the Milky way of gossamer; Honesty is a thunderbolt, shining and stimulating people's false soul lost because of money; Honesty is a delicate fragrance, simple and elegant is transformed into a kind Friendship like Liyang... Honesty may not necessarily create superior success, but I believe it can make people's soul beautiful.

We can lose our status, honor, success, the icing on the cake, but we must never lose our integrity. Fraud really makes you have nothing and makes you fall into the abyss of crime.

It was a hot afternoon, but I had no choice when I went home. I should have been blowing the air conditioner in my room early, but I was still in such a mess. Today I was confused and didn't have any money. Now I can only ask the sky without saying anything. I just blame myself for being stubborn and forgetful. The sun is burning every inch of my naked skin wantonly, I feel like I'm going to be “air dried.”.

“God, I don't treat you badly at ordinary times?” As I walked along, I saw a simple money bag. I was a little stunned. It was not a mirage. It was not as hot as that. When I came closer, I found that there was still a lot of money in it. It was stacked neatly from one yuan to one hundred yuan. I was excited: did God hear my prayer? But... Looking at this family, it must not be rich. What should we do if it is urgent?

A kind of idea drove me to stop the car as soon as possible, regardless of whether he was in urgent need or not, “if I found a treasure on the ground, I couldn't take it.” moreover, the pedestrians were all in a hurry, and no one paid attention to this gloomy purse at all. But if it's really urgent, then I'm not bad for others. Maybe the money is still hard to raise. When I reach for it, I always feel that there is a kind of vision condemning me, which contains deep disappointment. I tangled and struggled, and finally reason overcame greed. I waited patiently, looked left and right, and didn't wait for the figure of the owner.

When I was about to give up, an anxious figure came to me. It was an old lady in her eighties: “little girl, have you ever seen such a big purse?” She is gesticulating, the brow is full of anxious look. I gave her my purse and she left gratefully.

I continue to walk, the money in the purse is still there, my mood seems to be clear, the sun is no longer so burning, because the light of integrity is far more gorgeous and wonderful than the sun.

As is vividly depicted in the picture , with a clear cracking sound , two bowls clashed into each other , in which the shinning one keeps its integrity , whereas the shabby one breaks into pieces. Just like being symbolically revealed in the set of drawing, the fact that the intact bowl, as a symbol of soly-invested companies , overwhelms the broken bowl representing the state-owned companies, with collision standing for fierce companies, profoundly indicates that it is time that our state-owned companies entailed reform especially after china’s entry into WTO when facing soly-invested companies abroad.

To the popular mind , it is immediately assumed that when reform in state-owned companies is argued ,it is car industry that is meant. To account for the above-mentioned phenomenon , several points should be figured out. For one thing, some of car industries once enjoyed the glorious past , They have ,however, gradually lost their market shares when soly –invested companies were sweeping into domestic market. For another , in order to turn the corner ,the leaders of them should adopt the policy of reform such as acquisition, re-engineering and introduction of advanced technology and concepts of management. No better illustration of this idea can be thought than the example mentioned below, No 1 Motor Vehicle Plant has witnessed from predicament to rejuvenation through none other than effective steps mentioned above. Therefore ,no issue is as critical to individual and national survival and prosperity as reform in state-owned companies.

Accordingly , it is vital for us to derive some positive meanings from this thought-provoking picture. It is ,hence, necessary that efforts be made to follow the spirit of reform concerning state-owned companies. On one hand, the government should make law to perfect irrational rules and regulations being visible in reform process. On the other hand, the leaders of state-owned companies should enhance the awareness of reform by undergoing these steps ,can our more state-owned companies become members of Top 500 in the world, which, indeed, has gone to the heart of maintaining good momentum of national economy growth.

hello everyone!

Honesty is a necessary factor for success. People do not stand without faith. Integrity is an added value of life. China has been a well-known state of etiquette since ancient times, but most people are gradually losing this traditional virtue. A story in a book is still fresh in my memory: a young man took five big packages of “wisdom”, “beauty”, “health”, “wealth” and “integrity” to take a boat, ready to go to a place to find a job with higher pay. Because the ship was too heavy, the young man had to give up a package. Without hesitation, he lost the big package of “integrity”. When it comes to applying for a job, the candidate directly refuses because the young man has no integrity. When the young man seeks again, the integrity has sunk into the sea and can no longer be found. Integrity, lost will not come back, which reminds us to be honest and trustworthy.

Effort is the key to success. Effort does not have to succeed, but without effort, it must not succeed. Beethoven's life was full of twists and turns, his childhood was extremely miserable, his youth suffered countless blows from life, and his middle age suffered trauma - deafness. Although fate was so unfair to him, he persevered and did not choose to give up. With his deep love for music and his innate musical talent, through his unremitting efforts, he finally became a generation of music masters and played a shocking symphony for us. Efforts must be made with practical action. There will be gains only if you pay.

“There is no road in world. When there are many people walking, it becomes a road.”. The foot is longer than the road. After all, the road is made by people. As long as we have a confident heart, honest quality and hard-working spirit, we believe we will break through many barriers on the road and finally lead to the end and success.

Shakespeare once said: losing faith means that the enemy destroys itself. Honesty is the foundation of being a person. Without honesty, it loses the meaning of life. I have hesitated between interest and integrity.

What is integrity? I guess you should know. Everyone knows the story of Lenin breaking vase when he was a child. One day Lenin went to his aunt's house to play, accidentally breaking the vase on the table. When the aunt asked, his brothers and sisters were busy shirking their responsibilities, saying they didn't break them by themselves. Lenin hesitated for a moment and finally admitted his mistake. This is a simple story of honesty. Honesty is to be honest and trustworthy, which is reflected in the little drops of life. For example, speaking of doing it, not lying, meeting friends are punctual and punctual. A person who knows good faith can be more successful in life and career. After all, for a child who has learned to panic and cheat since childhood, it is difficult for you to expect such a person to become a great thinker of all ages?

Honesty is the standard of measuring a person. If one person has achieved the word “honesty”, it will certainly be respected by people. It is a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation and the principle that people should abide by in their communication. I remember one time, I and my good friend agreed to meet at the mall at 9 a.m. Sunday morning and lend her a book. Who knows that morning it was raining heavily. I saw the time was coming. I called her, but I couldn't contact her. What should I do? At this time, my mother said to me, you promised that other people's affairs should be done, and you can't lose faith in others. I had to go in the rain. Although I was wet that day, I kept my promise and got friendship.

Honesty is sincerity, honesty is trustworthy, honesty is a promise, honesty is the action after promise. With honesty, our life will have more understanding, a smile and more friendliness. Because of honesty, our world will be better.

Good evening, everybody! It’s my honor to speak here, and I am very glad to share my topic with you. Then today I’d like to talk something about honesty.honesty means speaking the truth and being fair and upright in act. There are just a few of words, however,doing it completely is one of the most difficult things. By contrary, Those who lies and cheats is dishonest,those who gain fortunes not by hard labour but by other means is dishonest.

Now,firstly, I will share one short story that is well known in China. It named.In order to persuade her son not to follow her to the fair, the boy’s mother promised her son to kill a pig for him. In fact, she didn’t plan to kill anything.But the pig finally died. Who killed it? Zensheng did.He said,”children know nothing to begin with, but they copy their parents and learn from them, when you cheat the boy, you are teach him to lie” This story tell us, we must have faith. If we always lie to others, we will lose the trust of others.

In the long river of history, there are many such similar stories about honesty. All those stories tell us that people are praising the quality of honesty.It was true that most of people value honesty highly. Therefore,honesty is the traditional virtue of the Chinese nation, we should inherit it and not let it break in our generation.

However, now the situation is not optimistic. In the tide of commodity economy today,it seems that more and more people believe in money at the sacrifice of honesty. This is a reason why phenomena of dishonesty upward trend. In people basic necessities of life, it is flooded with fake and shoddy milk, drainage oil; in the political field, many officials have no honesty carring some false bureaucratic activities or movements; in the social life field, many people believe that good faith is a kind of stupid behavior. They don’t understand that honesty is the biggest fortune humans own, and that it is the pre requisite for doing everything well. Do we really want to live in a world full of lies? I think the answer is no. Paradoxically, we all want to have a good faith society. At the same time, the good faith is also the requirement of economy society. We want to have a good faith society, first of all we should be honest.

As a contemporary college students, we are the symbol of civilzation in our country, we should set an example. Just try to put honesty into action in our normal life, we can start small. Like clean up our rooms after making a promise, turn in a wallet full of money that we found, keep a friend’s secret and so on. I believe, the good faith society will come back if we contrive for it!

That’s all. Thank you for listening, ladies and gentlemen.

敬爱的老师，亲爱的同学们。大家好!今天我们演讲的题目是《让青春与诚信通行》在青春的道路上，诚信是每一个人必不可少的东西。诚信是一种坚不可摧的信念，是一种品德，更是人类一声的追求。

一个人有了诚信，就有了真正的生活的动力的核心，人并不能做到百分之百的'诚信，但人只要遵守自己的诺言对待他人。就已经是一种高尚的品德了，对于我们来说，正值青春年华，更要秉承这种品质。我们所拥有的诚信，要做到最好、做到更好的来用诚信对待他人。诚信冲一点一滴的小事积累而成的。那我们便要从此刻做起，让自己成为身怀高尚品质的人，正如孔子所说“吾日三省吾身，为人谋而不忠乎与朋友交而不信乎传不习乎”我们应该时刻注意自己的言行举止，对待他人是否做到位，对待长者是否尊重，对待朋友是否真诚。

青春，正是此时。我们在人生的跑到上，追寻着自己的目标，各方面正在无限扩展，老师给予我们的是永不熄灭的启明灯。我们的品德也在渐渐升高，越变越清楚明了。我们要听从老师的教诲，让青春与诚信通行。用这种信念去对人对事，正是我们现在所要领悟，所要学习的。

A person with good faith, will have real life the power core, people can not do one hundred percent of the faith, but as long as keep his promise to treat others. It is a kind of noble character, for us, in the prime of life, to uphold the quality. We have

Teachers and students:

hello everyone!

Honesty is honesty and trustworthiness, which is the traditional virtue of our Chinese nation. Only by speaking of honesty will our life be better. The story of honesty often happens in life. I have experienced it personally, which makes me feel a lot.

Once, my mother and I went to XX supermarket to buy two Texas grilled chicken. When we got home, we opened it and tasted it. The more we ate, the more we felt that the taste was wrong, and then we went back and returned. The staff of the supermarket warmly received us. After careful inspection, they repeatedly said, “I'm sorry, I'm sorry.” they returned the money to us and left telephone numbers for each other, saying that if there were any abnormalities, they would contact them. This makes me trust them more and like shopping there more. If it's at a stall outside, some people will not refund money or say something bad for their personal interests.

Another time, my classmate xxx asked me to have dinner at his house. I first promised, but later I didn't go because of other reasons, and I didn't call him. Then XXX told me that he was very disappointed. A few days later, I asked XXX to come to my house to play. He proposed that I go to his house for dinner before he goes to my house. This time I went to his house, but he didn't come to my house to play. I'm also very disappointed. It can be seen that breach of contract and dishonesty is a dishonest behavior, which will bring permanent damage to people's mind. This matter always reminds me to be honest in dealing with people, and never break my promise even in small things.

As a primary school student, I want to develop the good habit of honesty from an early age and inherit and carry forward the traditional virtues of our Chinese nation.

Thank you!

hello everyone!

The theme of our speech today is integrity. What is integrity? As the name suggests, it is honest and trustworthy!

Towering trees stand tall and straight, relying on the silent support of deep roots in the earth; Lingyun's high-rise building has a shocking momentum, which is supported by the thick and hard foundation stone and speechless support; So, what do people rely on to support their extremely wise life? That is integrity!

We need honesty, we call honesty, honesty is beautiful, because it brings warm sunshine to the world; Honesty is tiny. It only needs to occupy a small corner of the soul, which warms people's whole life; Integrity is like a clear spring, which makes people's heart full of purity and self-confidence, and the society full of sincerity and trust. Let's always take every detail of life seriously with a kind heart!

Many people have heard such a story. A man named Meng Xin was very poor. He had no rice to cook and only one sick cow. One day when he was out, his nephew took the cow to the market and sold it. Meng Xin was very angry when he came back. He blamed his nephew for selling the sick cow to others, and personally found the buyer to return all the money and took back his sick cow. Through the smoke and dust of history, we clearly see that what Meng Xin tightly holds in his hand is not a sick cattle, but a healthy and noble moral rope, which introduces a person's character and cultivation into a pure holy land.

Today, when the whole society calls for honesty, let's take high-quality service, honesty and trustworthiness as the life of the enterprise, strengthen management internally and carry out high-quality service externally. Report, install and connect electricity for customers according to the specified requirements. For customer reception service, we should “only enter one door and find one person, and we will do the rest” and truly implement the working principle of “turning from inside to outside”. Our service is to greet each other with a smiling face, warm your heart with a cup of hot tea, treat each other sincerely, relieve your worries with a good deed, and send them away with a farewell, so as to satisfy every customer. Let “electric tiger” and “electric overlord” become the past forever!

Integrity is the dazzling sunshine, its light shines on the earth; Integrity is the vast land, and its mind carries mountains and rivers; Integrity is the beautiful and magical mountains and rivers, and its magnificence purifies people's soul; Integrity is the most beautiful and holy soul. It makes people have a clear conscience and a broad mind. Let's hold the position of integrity! Let the light of integrity warm our life and let the flower of integrity bloom brilliantly in each of our lives!

Thank you!

With our world developing,more and more people neglect how to conduct theirselves.What 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 boycoting it.Take the case of the Sanlu powder for example.After drinking Sanlu fake powder,lots of babies got sick and had big heads,nevertheless,their bodies still thin.People 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 society.Furthermore,only if we are honest to others can others become friendly to us.Therefore,cultivate a virtue of honesty and we will get better.

Time flies. In a twinkling of an eye, half a semester has passed. This week, Huilan junior middle school will usher in the mid-term exam. As we all know, learning is not for exams. But the exam is a test of the students' learning at one stage. Therefore, integrity is particularly important.

Honesty is the basic principle of life and an important guarantee for the communication between people. There is a saying that “if you are honest with people, people will not deceive me. If you are honest with things, everything will be done.” campus is a place to learn knowledge, a place to learn to be a man, and a place to shape the human soul. Therefore, cultivating the quality of honesty and trustworthiness should start from the campus. Our teenagers are the pillars of the future of the motherland and are destined to “unify the family, govern the country and level the world”. Therefore, please start from me, from around you, and from small things, so as to “do what you say and do what you do”, and be an honest and trusted person.

Speaking of the integrity test, in recent years, the state has attached importance to integrity and signed the integrity agreement before the HKCEE and the college entrance examination, which requires candidates to abide by the most fundamental principle of integrity in the test process and achieve real results through their own efforts. In fact, the examination is not only to test knowledge, but also to test integrity. Integrity test is everyone's basic criterion. If you lose integrity, you lose the pass to success.

I hope everyone can be honest and trustworthy, self-respect and self love, and do not resort to fraud. Honest examination, honest answer, be an honest person! Let the bright sunshine of integrity ignite our hearts and illuminate our life.

My speech is over. Thank you.

Since the quality of honesty applies to all behaviors, one cannot refuse to consider factual information, for example, in an unbiased manner and still claim that one's knowledge, belief or position is an attempt to be truthful.Such a belie

f is clearly a product of one's desires and simply has nothing to do with the human ability to know.Basing one's positions on what one wants — rather than unbiased evidence gathering — is dishonest even when good intentions can be cited — after all even Hitler could cite good intentions and intended glory for a select group of people.Clearly then, an unbiased approach to the truth is a requirement of honesty.Because intentions are closely related to fairness and certainly affect the degree of honesty/dishonesty, there is a wide spread confusion about honesty--and a general belief that being dishonest means that one ALWAYS correctly understands if their behavior is either honest or dishonest.Self-perception of our morality is non-static and volatile.It's often at the moment we refuse to consider other perspectives that there is a clear indication we are not pursuing the truth, rather than simply and exclusively at the moment we can muster up evidence that we are right.Socrates had much to say about truth, honesty and morality, and explained that if people really understood that their behavior was wrong — then they simply wouldn't do it — by definition.Unfortunately, honesty in the western tradition has been marginalized to specific instances — perhaps because a thorough understanding of honesty collides with ideologies of all types.Ideologies and idealism often exaggerate and suppress evidence in order to support their perspectives — at the eXpense of the truth.This process erodes the practice and understanding of honesty.To an ideologist the truth quite often becomes insignificant, what matters most are their ideals and what ever supports their desires to enjoy and spread those ideals.Human beings are inherently biased about what they believe to be good due to individual tastes & backgrounds, but once one understands that a decidedly biased approach to what is true — is inherently dishonest, one can also understand how idealism and ideology have poorly served the quest for an honest, moral society.Both honesty and morality require that we base our opinions about what is good — upon unbiased ideas of what is TRUE — rather than vice versa(determining what is true based on what we feel is good)— the way all ideologies would have us believe.
