3 reasons to be honest at all times

-
    
Most people glance at themselves in a mirror every morning before going to work, office and even in public. Why? Because they want to look their best. In teal, there is something much more important than having a good hair cut and clothes. The person we are on our inside can either add to or subtract from our outward appearance.
      For example, when our heart urges us to do what is bad and we have a strong feeling to be dishonest, we do not have to be a slave to our heart's impulses. We have a choice in the matter. When we choose to reject a bad thought, we can remain honest despite the dishonest surrounding us.
     To be honest, we need a strong moral code. Unfortunately, many people spend more time deciding on their outward appearance than they do on thinking about a personal moral code. As a result, they justify the amount of dishonesty that will suit their situation. 

Rewards of honesty

  • Peace of mind: in business, honest is often shoved aside for the shake of gaining wealth. The widespread view of this is that, what is the harm in a little dishonest if it increase wealth and help the economy? In reality, by being honest, one have peace of mind.
  • Self-respect: something, at work, you may be persuaded to lie about some missing items, but when you refused. And later, when the culprit is finally revealed, you will gain self-respect from your employer.
  • Clean conscience: when your supervisor found out that you have turned down a bribe from a potential customer, he or she would see you as a trustworthy staff and as a result of this great value, he or she would have clean conscience towards you. A clean conscience, peace of mind and self-respect show that it really pay to be honest.

But, this kind of thinking actually leads to weaker job applications. Think about it this way: Hiring managers read a ton of resumes —to the point at which their eyes cross. More importantly, hiring managers are just people. With this in mind, the only thing you really need to do to stand out is to have the one resume that actually lets them breathe a sigh of relief during this painful process. Here are simple things you can do. Make the First Thing on Your Resume Immediately Relevant There’s nothing worse for a hiring manager than having to dig through a resume to find what, exactly, an applicant’s relevant experience entails. Don’t make this harder than it needs to be for the person who will be reading your resume, and make sure the first thing on your resume is something you know he or she wants. Are you applying to a sales position? Tit...

Achieving Mutual Gain in any Negotiation

When the parties in a negotiation are committed to a position, they feel that moving from that position is a failure. Instead, the focus should be given to their purposes. To achieve mutual gain, focus should be given on interests, rather than positions. An environment of respect and discipline should be prevalent between both the parties. For example, in a school, one party favours uniforms, the other opposes it. The reasons for the first party to support uniforms is to avoid circumstances where students wear casuals, because it may give rise to an act of bullying where a person or group may act hostile towards each other regarding their individual style.  The second party is against the use of uniforms because wearing a uniform has its own drawbacks.
