How Can I Be Honest All The Time?

In an interesting poll from last week, 62% of people (as of today) believe that they cannot be honest 100% of the time.  I find that completely fascinating.  I asked the question in regards to an article I read and shared on my blog that talked about an angel investor who said he believed the secret to success was honesty.  Peter said, “Complete honesty is the access to ultimate power.”

I see people struggle to be honest many times, and I know they aren’t lying to be mean or malicious. They simply want to be polite, but is a “lie” really kind and polite?

I therefore ask you, my readers, what do you feel you cannot be honest about?

Would you be willing to share with me examples where you feel you cannot be honest in your personal or professional life?

Honesty doesn’t always mean laying your feelings on the table or saying something ugly. You can always focus on the positive truth to any situation, making it known what you truly think, without lying. And you can be polite about it, too.

If you missed this article last week, its definitely worth a read, if you ask me.

Secret to Success and the Connection To Lies

I ran into an article about a month ago that I thought was fabulous, and I want to share it with you.  A writer met up with an angel investor, Peter, a man of wealth, and asked him what was the secret to success.

What do you think his answer was?

Work hard?

Never give up?

Persevere?

You might be surprised his answer revolved around telling lies!

Peter was quoted as saying two very profound statements that I whole-heartedly agree with, and it is so rare—so very rare to see someone say what he says.  Most people, even experts, give you advice that is to the contrary.

But I am with Peter. I agree with Peter when he says, “Complete honesty is the access to ultimate power.”

I like to meet Peter. He seems like an absolutely amazing man of great brilliance.

Here is the article for you.

Cal Harris 4th Trial: Not Guilty

/5 Comments/in , /by

For those of you who have followed the Cal Harris case out of Tiago County, New York, you’ve likely seen that a judge found Harris not guilty in his forth trial recently. CBS’s 48 Hours aired the story this past weekend.

Harris is a financially well off businessman whose wife went missing in 2001. She has never been found.

In the first two trials, Harris was convicted of murder, but got the cases overthrown. In his third trial, the jury was hung, and in the last trial, by judge only, Harris finally gets his freedom and is found not guilty.

I have written about this case over the years. You can search my blog for more articles.

What do you think about Cal Harris? Do you think he got justice? Or was there a travesty of justice for his wife, Michele?

Home Invasion Suspect Says Sorry

Caleb Williams, 21, broke into a home with two other people. He knew people were home when he went in. In this interview, he says he is sorry about what he did.

Do you believe him?

I think this interview will cause a split in how people see him. I suspect it will be pretty divided. What do you think? Do you think Caleb is honest or lying?
