Speech On Honesty

First of all, character is an abstract evaluation of integrity, for it is the sum of one's qualities and actions. ; Character is not defined by what you did one time, but by what you do all the time and is therefore an essential manifestation of who you are. I am a person who takes criticism willingly and accepts recommendations graciously, meaning that if there is something I can improve, I will do whatever it takes in order change it. I take things constructively in a positive way. I demonstrate the highest standards of honesty and reliability by always telling the truth and by keeping my promises. I actively help rid of the negative influences in school by telling others to never skip class and always do their work.

Honor and loyalty are the most important personal traits of a person, but it can also be the opposite depending how it is expressed. Honor means you keep your word , no matter what.

Honorable people are also normally known as responsible and likable. In some cases, people think they are doing what is honorable, but really they are not.

Second, Integrity may cause conflict that is must be resolved. It does not necessarily produce or protect interpersonal harmony. Third, a person who has integrity can be trusted.

Integrity. To me, integrity is being honest to others and to yourself. It’s to have moral uprights. It’s the state of being whole. It’s a word used to describe someone’s level of honesty.

Someone who has integrity means they have a moral compass that leads them in the right direction. They follow their moral judgements and do good things under all circumstances, even if no one pays attention. They would do nothing that dishonors themselves.

I highly value integrity; I am honest, trustworthy, dependable, responsible, and faithful. I do not complain or argue with others, but rather I sit down and listen to their concerns. I am extremely polite and treat everyone I meet with the highest degree of courtesy and respect. I am a hard worker and I always put forth my best effort. I stay away from bad influences and choose my close friends carefully. I am a stickler for rules and have never once gotten into trouble at school or with the law. I treat others with the utmost respect because the Bible clearly states to “do to others as you would have them do unto you.” My morals and ethics are directly in line with the teachings of scripture, so I look down upon academic dishonesty, taking part in dangerous activities such as drugs and alcohol, and disrespecting others. I strongly believe in perseverance and never giving up, no matter how hopeless the situation may seem, and in never losing faith in your family, your friends, and, most importantly, God because you can always rely on them in the darkest of times to restore your

A person of integrity does exactly what he says and says exactly what he means. There is no conflict between his thoughts and actions. His actions are consistent with the values he professes. According to Dr. William Manninger, A building without integrity may receive structural damage, or even collapse, in a storm. Similarly, people without integrity are blown about by the winds of misfortune and destroyed by catastrophes, for they lack the firmness, solidity, and strength of character to weather any storm. This means that integrity is one of the six essential qualities that are the key to success.

I am reliable in a sense that I follow through with tasks that I have taken on, and am friendly and helpful towards my peers.

A person with integrity is humble – He is more concerned about what is right than about being right. He recognizes principle and puts it ahead of self.

I feel that I am a very loyal person. I believe that I am easy to get along with and can make friends without effort. Once I make friends, I have them for life. I have always prided myself on supporting decisions that my friends and family make, even if I know they are a mistake. Who am I to correct anyone’s actions?

Have you ever heard the saying that goes “place yourself into the shoes of others”? Let’s analyze and take a deep look into the phrase. By placing ourselves into somebody’s shoes we develop a feeling of connection with them, better known as empathy. The question is, what is empathy? Empathy is the ability to understand and share the feelings of others. People often confuse empathy with pity, but it is actually aiming the understanding of people’s feelings and perspectives. And by understanding them we learn how to use them to guide our actions. I believe that in order to change our society, people should be able to learn how to feel empathy or compassion for others. The Bible tells us in Romans 12:15 to "Be happy with those who are happy, and weep with those who weep.”
