“The liar’s punishment is not in the least that he is not believed, but that he cannot believe anyone else.” ~ George Bernard Shaw
We’ve all known and worked with people that could not be trusted. They lie, misrepresent, and distort with half truths. You don’t want to work with them and neither does anyone else. WIthout integrity, a person’s life simply will not work. A liar cannot have a great relationship with their spouse or their children. You will not have deep, meaningful relationships, nor will people want to do business with you. You cannot lie and yet be trusted. Furthermore, you damage your confidence in yourself and your abilities. When you lie, you are saying that you can’t handle the consequences of your mistake. Getting a life means making your life work in a happy, satisfying, and proud way. You can’t get a life and remain a liar.
“Create successful relationships – personal relationships are the fertile soil from which all advancement, all success, and all achievement in real life grows.” ~ Ben Stein
