Many times people think that it is okay to “fudge” and not tell the truth. They make it seem that telling “a little white lie” is apparently not suppose to be bad… (not sure how they figure that?).
They feel that half truths are okay, because you really are telling some of the truth. People tend to believe that if they can get away with not telling the truth because it will save them from some sort of “negative consequences” that it is okay.
Why would they think that? Either you tell the truth, the whole truth or if you do not then you are telling a lie. There is no in between that is really acceptable.
It is better to tell the truth and suffer the consequences than to be considered a person who is not a reliable source and that what they say cannot be trusted.
I agree with Randy Pausch….tell the truth and tell it all of the time.
What do you think?
