What are some examples of honesty and trustworthiness?

Story: \xd\ Meng Mu When the Meng family was still living next to the market in Miaohuying Village, someone killed pigs in the east. Mencius asked his mother inexplicably, "Why did the neighbor kill pigs?" Meng Mu was busy at that time, so he casually replied, "Here you are!" Mencius was very happy to wait for eating meat. In order not to break his promise to his son, Meng Mu reluctantly set aside part of his living expenses to buy a piece of meat and let his son have a good time. \ xd \ xd \ Franklin was an American in the 18th century, a famous scientist and a famous social activist. He once participated in the drafting of the American Declaration of Independence and made great contributions to American independence and freedom. \xd\ He comes from a craftsman's family who has been working while the iron is hot for generations. Because there are many children at home, it is difficult for his parents to make a living by working while the iron is hot. Twelve-year-old Franklin wanted to do something for his family when he saw his parents worrying about their livelihood all day. At this time, my father made candles besides striking the iron. \xd\ Later, his brother set up a newspaper in the city. Franklin went to his brother as an apprentice and studied typesetting in the printing house. His brother was very mean to him, often scolding him for a little thing, and sometimes beating him up, which made Franklin unbearable and soon left there to look for a job in another printing house. But his brother was very bad and told all the owners of printing houses in the city not to hire Franklin. \xd\ Franklin had to look for a job in other cities. He lived in Philadelphia, and a man named Kemou asked Franklin to help him manage his printing shop, promising him a high salary. Franklin could not find another job for the time being, so he agreed. At that time, Franklin was already a skilled worker, while other workers employed by Kaimou were people who didn't know much about printing, typesetting and binding. The wages paid by Kaimou to these people are very low. Smart Franklin saw this situation and guessed that Kaimou wanted him to turn these cheap hired workers into skilled workers and then drive himself away. Kaimou has a bad reputation in the local area, and everyone knows that he is a sly dog. \xd\ Although Franklin had guessed Kaimou's thoughts, he thought that since he promised to accept the job, he should try his best to do it well and be serious and responsible for his own work, and his serious attitude towards the work should not be affected because of his bad boss. So, he taught these workers some skills every day, and even taught them the method of making font that he invented. \xd\ Kaimou was still very polite to Franklin at first. After a few months, he found that the workers he hired cheaply had basically mastered typesetting and printing technology, so he began to find trouble with Franklin for no reason and deducted his salary for no reason. On one occasion, Kemou pointed to Franklin's nose and called him a stupid pig. Franklin was very angry and said, "There are only bosses like stupid pigs, and there are no workers like stupid pigs. People like you don't deserve to be bosses at all." \xd\ Kaimou was trying to drive Franklin away, so he would sarcastically say, "God didn't keep you a genius to work here. You can slip away like a squid." \xd\ Franklin didn't want to do it long ago, so he said in front of the workers, "Kaimou, don't beat around the bush. You invited me here to train the workers for you. Now that they are all skilled workers, you can kick me out. I have already guessed your mind. However, don't worry, I, Franklin, have always been honest, and I won't spread the wrong technology to them because of your meanness. When you fire them in the future, they can easily find jobs by their own skills. " \xd\ With that, Franklin packed his bags and left the shop. \ xd \ xd \ February 12, 189, Abraham? Lincoln was born in a peasant family. When he was a child, his family was very poor, so he didn't have a chance to go to school. Every day, he followed his father to cultivate and work in the western wasteland. He himself said: "When I entered school in my life, it was less than one year." But Lincoln was diligent and eager to learn, and asked others for advice whenever he had the chance. There is no money to buy paper and pens. He always carries a book in his arms when grazing cattle, chopping wood and digging the ground. When resting, he eats hard and cold bread and reads with relish. In the evening, he often reads under small oil until late at night. When he grew up, Lincoln left his hometown \xd\ went out to make a living alone. He did everything, worked as a short-term worker, worked as a sailor, a shop assistant, a village postman and a land surveyor, and also did heavy work of logging and chopping wood. No matter what he does, he is very serious and responsible, honest and trustworthy. \xd\ He worked as a clerk in the village grocery store when he was a teenager. On one occasion, a customer paid a few cents more, and he ran more than ten miles to return the few cents. On another occasion, he found that he had given the customer two or two teas less, so he ran several miles to deliver the tea to that family. He is honest, studious and modest, and everywhere he goes, he is loved by people around him. \ xd \ In 1834, at the age of 25, Lincoln was elected as an Illinois senator and began his political career. In 1836, he passed the exam and became a lawyer. \xd\ After he became a lawyer, he was very famous in the local area because he was proficient in law and had a good eloquence. Many people came to him to help with the lawsuit. But he defended his client on one condition, that is, the client must be a just party. Many poor people don't have the money to pay him for his labor, but just tell Lincoln, "I am just, please help me get justice." Lincoln will defend him for free. Once, a rich man asked Lincoln to defend him. Lincoln listened to the client's statement and found that the man was framing a good man, so he said, "I'm sorry, I can't defend you because your behavior is unjust." The man said, "Mr. Lincoln, I just want you to help me fight this unjust lawsuit. As long as I win the case, you can ask for any reward." Lincoln said seriously, "With a little skill in court defense, your case is easy to win, but the case itself is unfair. If I take your case, when I stand in front of the judge and speak, I will say to myself,' Lincoln, you are lying.' Lies can only be said loudly when you lose your conscience. I can't lose my conscience, nor can I tell a lie. So, please ask someone else. I am unable to help you. "\xd\ The man listened and left Lincoln's office silently without saying anything. \ xd \ xd \ Reuters was born in Germany. His father died when he was a teenager. He worked as an errand boy in a bank opened by his uncle. One day, the bank sent him to the home of the famous mathematician Gauss to withdraw money. \xd\ When Reuters finished his work and went back to the bank to carefully count the amount of money, he found that Gauss had given more than three hundred marks, which was quite a sum at that time. \xd\ So Reuters hurried back to Gauss' home, and then respectfully said to Gauss, "Sir, the amount of money you gave me earlier is wrong." \xd\ Gauss said loudly without looking up because he was busy solving a formula, "I am a famous mathematician, so I will make a mistake with such a small amount? Besides, I've given you the money for a long time, and now you're telling me that the amount is wrong. We're even. \xd\ Reuters had to say, \ All right! Since you say so, I don't have to pay back the extra 3 marks you gave me. \xd\ Of course, Reuters finally returned the extra three hundred marks to Gauss. After this incident, Gauss has also converged a lot of pride. \xd\ Honesty is one of the important virtues of human beings. With an honest mind and a bright heart, it will naturally lead us to success. \ xd \ xd \ In the 17th century German army, there was a prince who was like brothers to his subordinates and was deeply loved by soldiers and officers at all levels. On the way home from a failed attack on a country, it was late at night in winter. Cold and hunger tormented him and some of his men. In a state of extreme cold and hunger, the prince slowly fell asleep. In his sleep, the prince dreamed that the sun was exceptionally bright and warm. He woke up and found himself covered with many coats, and his life continued. Looking around, his men covered the prince with their coats, all of which had already frozen to death. \xd\\xd\ A businessman in Jiyang sank when crossing the river. He grabbed a hemp pole and shouted for help. A fisherman heard the sound. The businessman quickly shouted, "I am the richest man in Jiyang. If you can save me, I will give you 1 taels of gold.". After being rescued ashore, the businessman turned against him and refused to admit it. He only gave the fisherman 1 taels of gold. The fisherman accused him of breaking his word and going back on his word. The rich man said, "You are a fisherman. You can't earn much money all your life. Aren't you satisfied with suddenly getting twelve taels of gold?" My husband had to be disgruntled. Unexpectedly, the rich man capsized in the same place again. Someone tried to save him, and the man who had been cheated by him said, "He is the man who keeps his word!" " So the merchant drowned. It is accidental that the businessman capsized twice and met the same husband, but it is expected that the businessman will not be rewarded well. Because if a person doesn't keep his word, he will lose the trust of others. Therefore, once he is in trouble, no one is willing to rescue him. Those who break their word to others, once in trouble, have to sit back and wait. \ xd \ xd \ At the end of Qin Dynasty, there was a man named Ji Bu, who always kept his word and had a very high reputation. Many people established a strong friendship with him. At that time, there was even a proverb: "It is better to get a promise than a hundred pounds of gold." (This is the origin of the idiom "a promise is worth a thousand pounds") Later, he offended Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang and was offered a reward for his capture. As a result, his old friends were not only not confused by the heavy money, but also risked the extinction of the nine clans to protect him from disaster. If a person is honest and trustworthy, he will naturally get a lot of help and gain everyone's respect and friendship. On the other hand, if you covet temporary comfort or petty advantages and lose faith in your friends, you will get "benefits" on the surface. But for this benefit, he ruined his reputation, which is much more important than material things. Therefore, breaking a promise to a friend is tantamount to losing a watermelon to pick up sesame seeds, which is not worth the loss. \ xd \ xd \ In the early years, few foreigners set foot in the southern foothills of the Himalayas in Nepal. Later, many Japanese people came here for sightseeing, which is said to be due to the honesty of a teenager. \xd\ One day, several Japanese photographers invited a local teenager to buy beer, and the teenager ran for more than three hours. The next day, the boy volunteered to buy beer for them again. The photographers gave him a lot of money this time, but the boy didn't come back until the afternoon of the third day. As a result, photographers talked about it one after another, and all thought that the boy cheated the money away. On the third night, the boy knocked on the photographer's door. It turned out that he only bought four bottles of beer in one place, so he climbed a mountain and crossed a river to buy another six bottles, and broke three bottles when he returned. He cried and took the broken glass and handed back the change to the photographer. All the people present were moved. This story deeply touched many foreigners. Later, more and more tourists came here. \xd\\xd\ In the riverside park in new york, there stands the Monument to the Soldiers Killed in the Civil War, and many tourists come to pay homage to the dead every year. The tomb of General Grant, the 18th President of the United States and commander in chief of the Union Army during the Civil War, is located in the north of the park. The mausoleum is tall, majestic, solemn and simple. Behind the mausoleum, there is a large green lawn that stretches to the boundary of the park and the edge of the steep cliff. \xd\ Behind General Grant's mausoleum, closer to the cliff, there is also a child's mausoleum. It's a tiny and ordinary tomb, and anywhere else, you may ignore its existence. Like most American tombs, it has only a small tombstone. On the tombstone and a nearby wooden sign, there is a touching story about honesty: \xd\ The story happened in 1797 more than 2 years ago. This year, when the small owner of this land was five years old, he accidentally fell from the cliff here and died. His father was heartbroken and buried him here, and built such a small mausoleum as a souvenir. A few years later, the family fortune declined and the old owner had to transfer the land. Out of love for his son, he made a strange request to the future land owner. He asked the new owner to take the child's mausoleum as a part of the land and never destroy it. The new owner agreed and wrote this condition into the contract. In this way, the child's mausoleum was preserved. \xd\ passage of time, one hundred years have passed. I don't know how many times this land has been sold, and I don't know how many owners have changed. The child's name has long been forgotten by the world, but the child's mausoleum is still there. It is preserved intact according to one sales contract after another. In 1897, this land of geomantic omen was chosen as the cemetery of General Grant. The government became the owner of this land, and the tomb of the unknown child was preserved intact in the hands of the government and became a neighbor of General Grant's tomb. The tomb of a great historical creator and the tomb adjacent to the tomb of an unknown child may be a unique wonder in the world. \xd\ Another hundred years later, in 1997, in memory of General Grant, then new york Mayor Giuliani came here. At that time, it happened to be the centenary of the establishment of General Grant's mausoleum and the bicentennial of the child's death. Mayor Giuliani personally wrote this touching story and carved it on the wooden sign, standing next to the tomb of the unknown child, so that this story about honesty could be passed down from generation to generation. \ xd \ xd \ A soldier was not good at long-distance running, so he soon fell far behind in an army cross-country race, and he was alone. After turning several corners, I met a fork in the road, a road marked by an officer; The other road is marked as a path for soldiers to run. He paused, and although he was dissatisfied with the fact that being an officer was cheap even for cross-country races, he still ran towards the soldier's path. I didn't expect to reach the finish line after half an hour, but I was ranked first. He felt incredible. He had never made a ranking, not to mention running in the top 5. However, the officer in charge of the race smiled and congratulated him on winning the race. \xd\ A few hours later, a large number of people arrived, exhausted from running, and surprised to see him win. But suddenly everyone realized how important it is to be honest and trustworthy at the fork in the road. \ xd \ xd \ When Lv Yuan was appointed as the capital of Dongdu, a Chu Shi often played chess with him. On one occasion, two people were playing against each other, and suddenly the official document came. Lv Yuan Ying had to leave the chessboard and go to the case-solving to read the official document. The chess player took the opportunity to secretly move a chess piece and finally defeated Lv Yuan Ying. In fact, Lv Yuan Ying has seen that he moved the chess pieces, but he didn't make any sense. The next day, Lv Yuan asked the chess player to make a living elsewhere. No one else knows why he was dismissed, and he himself doesn't know why he was dismissed. When he left, Lv Yuan also presented money and goods. \xd\ The reason why Lv Yuan Ying wants to quit this chess player is because he discovered his dishonesty from the chess player's move of a chess piece and a treacherous little gesture. Honesty is also called sincerity and trustworthiness.
