You will learn from your mistakes and gain wisdom if you do so. If not, well...you'll be choosing the wrong. You won't get anywhere in life, or at least, not the right way.

Telling the truth is a good moral you should always follow. It's not always hard telling the truth specially when you know that there will be consequences if you do so. At the end is the best thing to do because the truth always comes out sooner or later. Having little rules to remember to tell the truth is a good idea because when you are about to lie, just think of this and you won't lie.

It is good if we all tell the truth because one "small lie" can lead to another one and another one. Just causing a chain of lies, then it will be hard to tell the truth because many people can get involved into that "small lie." At the end it will be a BIG LIE and it might involve other people. Lies always end up hurting people it doesn't matter what kind of lie it is. Someone will always get hurt. CTR

Telling the truth is by extension choosing the right. Although sometimes its not easy to tell the truth because of social stigma, it is always better to have our honor and integrity intact than be like all the rest; liars. Even a small little lie can come back and haunt you, it can destroy a relationship or friendship. So choose the right and always tell the truth because it's the Jedi Way.

Choosing the right is telling the truth, sometimes we feel like we need to lie and telling a little white lie can get out of hand.Or when we tell the "truth" it's a little twisted.It's best to confront things how they are and be honest and just say the truth. It's a hard choice to make but its the right thing. =)

This is so true when you say the truth everything is much more easier, and you feel happy about it more then when you tell a lie. It's not good to lie to any one wether it's a small white lie or a big lie. No matter on the situation you shouldn't have to lie to the person even if you it might get you into trouble you should ALWAYS tell the truth. The consequences of lying are so much worst then they can ever be when you tell the truth. You should ALWAYS CHOOSE THE RIGHT and tell the TRUTH!

The quote is good because you should always tell the truth. If you make the commitment to telling nothing but the truth and let people know about it then they will constantly remind you about it. If people remind you about it then it makes it easier to get accustom to always telling the truth. Even if its a little white lie, its still a lie and telling white lies would be considered breaking your commitment. Always tell the truth, even if it might hurt you to say it it, or hurt some one else to hearing it, it is for the best.

i do believe that truthfulness brings happiness and peace. Thats how a person can bond with others. Trusting them is also like being truthful to one another. The ten sentences are more of what one person should do. Making a commitment is giving time for something and you need to stick to it, just like school you have to be VERY committed to be successful and be on top of the success pyramid, you'll be happy for yourself when its comes to graduation day and you see everyone that was there for you cheering you on and getting your diploma. Telling the truth cant hurt someone else but its best to share it then keeping it inside eating you inside out. Basically be careful with what you say and choose the right when you have to. Always ask yourself the ten sentences because you'll get something good out of it, and just have hope (:

I think it is true that truthfulness brings peace and happiness because once you start lying you have to keep on lying to cover up your lies. That only brings stress around your loved ones. Lying never gets no one anywhere because the truth always comes out!! I think these "ten tips for being more truthful" are really amazing tips because we need to try to stop ourselves from lying before we even start. We may try to fool other people but we can never fool ourselves. We need to Choose the Right and always tell the truth!

The ten tips are good tips on how to stay truthful. Staying truthful can mean many things, it doesn't mean just lying to someone or your self in particular. Staying truthful means being honest to everyone and your self, it means staying faithful to your relationship as a couple or married couple. Being truthful also makes you feel good that you don't have to lie about certain things and you can be out with whatever it is u feel the need to lie about. Its better for people to know the truth about you or something that happened because it helps you out and it helps them on watching what they say. Truthfulness isn't just helpful to you its helpful to you and the people around you.

Being truthful is a great quality to have. If you always tell the truth it makes you look good. People respect someone who is truthful. Everyone should make that commitment to always tell the truth. Everyone has moments where they want to lie to get out of a tight situation, but is it worth telling a lie and later feel guilty? It's better to always tell the truth even though it might get you in trouble. You will feel good about yourself because you told the truth. Choose the right and always tell the truth.

Being truthful can make your life easier and it can make you feel like a good person because you never lie. You may be in a situation where you feel that you need to lie, but the best thing to do is choose the right and tell the truth. If you ever lie, ask yourself "Was that the right thing to do?" and think about what you have done and if it was worth it. Everyone should make a commitment to tell the truth at all times because that's definitely the right thing to do.

this will work because if you commit yourself to something, you really don't want to mess it up so you give it a try and you also have to try not to give the truth without giving complete details because people sometimes misunderstand, and also if you here something that is a lie, make sure to clear things out.

This posting tells em that it helps to be more truthful, it also lists a lot of ways that i can become more truthful by making commitments and sticking to them. Also to be careful in what you do and who you do it with. It doesn't help to be truthful if you hang out with the wrong crowd. They will lie and bring you down with them if you decide to choose the wrong also.

Being truthful can be one of the hardest thing for people. It takes a lot of courage and commitment to always tell the truth. Even if they are little white lies, they are still lies. Every time you tell a lie it makes you take a step backwards. Being truthful is one of the best qualities a person can have. It may not be easy to achieve, but once you have nothing to lie about, you will feel a lot better about yourself.

The ten tips to telling the truth are good. You should first make yourself a commitment to always try to be as truthful as you can. Tell someone your or show someone you really are truthful. And never tell lies about someone or something and never be dishonest when it really matters the most. Because telling the truth can take you really far in life. And being dishonest and constantly lieing wont really help to go really far in life at a point lieing well and can become your worst enemy. So be a true academic champion and always choose the right and tell the truth.

Telling the truth is one of the best things to do. The reason for these is, so you won't be known as a liar. If you are known as a liar and that is a bad thing because than no one will believe you. For example the story of the boy who cried wolf he lied twice and the third time he wasn't lying and no one believed him for his reputation. So if you have a reputation as a liar no one will believe you and at the end it will end up effecting you and others. So say the truth and CTR!!!

This blog has put me to think that we need to be truthful to each other we shouldn't lie no more we need to find a way to make all of those lie to come out and come clean because if you keep things to yourself and you don't say the true then you might hurt someone that you really love. So we need to choose the CTR we need to choose the right and be a better person in this world but a truthful one person.

Telling the truth brings happiness to your life, it brings peace to you and the others around you. When you lie you see that your life is full of panic if someone finds out, life itself is stressful. when you tell the truth the weight of guilt is lifted upon you and you can breath and feel like a better person for doing so. lying causes problems but it cause you to live a life of sadness and discomfort.
