Honesty: the Divine Power





During last year and this year, I have listened several self-improvement audio books (at least 20 books). Some books were about time management. Some books were about psychology. Some books were about the markets. Some books were about making friends, and so on.

From those several books of several authors, I found a common thing that they all wrote or saw the same. It is about the great peoples’ true value, which is the ‘HONESTY.’ In the world history, there were hundreds of thousands of leaders, but only a few were recognizable, such as Mother Theresa, Mahatma Gandhi, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Winston Churchill, General George C. Martial Napoleon, etc. Why they were remarkably recognized and well known in the world history? They were only a few leaders among hundreds of thousands of others.

It is the same in the business world, too. Dishonest businessmen are eventually, simply disappeared. Only honest businesspersons have been remaining.

Those great peoples and leaders may vary, as presidents, prime ministers, religious persons, national leaders, generals, businessmen and so on. Nevertheless they all had one thing, all the same. It was ‘honesty.’ They all had ‘honesty’ with integrity. Hence, they all had the true courage, which has always come from honesty. Without honesty, we cannot have true courage. And it is the only thing we really own in our lives, while we are temporarily visiting in this world, as a part of mankind. All other things will be disappeared eventually, but ‘honesty’ will remain in our feels and thoughts, in our hearts and history, as well.

If I don’t have ‘honesty,’ I am not there, yet. I will simply die with other millions. Nobody will recognize me. If you don’t have it yet, you will join with the normal club, too. But when you really really have the true honesty, you will join with the Mother Theresa’s club. I will be there, too.

Honesty is truly Divine Power!
