It is said that honesty is the best policy. But I have also heard people saying that 'honest people are those who have had no opportunity of being dishonest'. What are your views? I feel that honesty combined with integrity and hard work can pay you rich dividends in your professional life, in long run.

Yes, I always believe in this. By being honest you never have feeling of guilt and you always keep your head high. This is one of my basic quality and I am happy with it!

I worked for over forty years and I can testify the greatest reward of being honest has been living with a clear conscience. People knew me for my integrity - siva

Being honest is good for any one. People those are honest never want to change their words every now and then.

Honesty is an overrated words. Sometimes we need to lie to live.

That's true. Although I believe that honesty is the best policy, there are dire situations where a person might be forced to be less than honest. Not a good place to be but it happens.
