I like to think of honesty as my greatest quality. I feel it defines who I am, people know where they can stand with me, and it may even make me seem a little trustworthy.
But it is also my greatest weakness. My quest for this honor in life, causes me to fail at things where a simple lie could have gotten me much further.
Case in point: I was in a job interview recently, and I was asked "Why do you want to work here?"
My answer: "I would like the money."
Well I wasn't going to lie to the woman! And in all fairness, I stand by the decision to say that to this day.
Just for those who don't know, I am currently unemployed.
So now answer me this:
Is it better to fail with honor, or succeed by fraud?
