Is Honesty the Best Policy


Since our childhood, we are taught the importance of honesty and why we should be honest. We do try our level best to be honest to our parents, teachers, friends and almost everybody with whom we meet and also succeed in achieving this. However, when we come across, how dishonesty helped some people achieve some great things quickly and in a better way than us, we tend to go the wrong way for quick success. This, in many cases results in creating problems for these people, which sometimes cannot be solved at all. Now, let us discuss - 'Is honesty really the best policy' by considering various situations.


Is Honesty the Best Policy Always!

The answer to this is again YES, but there is also the other sign of the coin which we should consider. Sometimes, there are situations wherein you have to be dishonest to save yourself or someone else when we know that the person is innocent. In such cases, speaking lies may not come under 'Dishonesty' as we are not doing anything wrong. Thus, it depends entirely on the situation, and intelligent people realize and know how to deal with a difficult situation by not compromising on their principles and ideals. However, a dishonest way to protect yourself should not be made a habit and you should recall the values taught to you, if you feel like going with the wrong way by proper
self control.

Thus, we conclude that honesty is the best policy to enjoy a good and respectable life. Honesty indeed takes a person to the level where he deserves to be.

Legs and Wings




When I look at this photo I feel that the heading Legs and Wings is perfect for this photo!!!





WHY?



Because this photo tells a mothers love for her children is very precious and endless...............
These few words sum up the meaning and significance of the word Mother. Mother is

undoubtedly the most beautiful and lovable word in any language. This goes to show the

importance of mother in our lives. Mother stands for millions of things she gives to her

children; it also stands for sacrifices pain, grief and sorrows which she has to undergo to keep

her children happy and secure. No joy can match the joy of a mother looking at her child,

those craving eyes-deeper than a whole ocean. The most important woman in an individual's

life is her/his mother. Her presence affects us our entire life and she can't be replaced by
anyone.


he mother's love for her children is as tender as the petal of a flower, as sweet as the flower fragrance, as pure as a flower itself. Still, her love can neither be replaced nor comparable to anything else in the whole universe.
