Honesty is the best policy

Just as the famous saying goes, “Honesty is the best policy”. When talking about honesty, many of us have too much to say. It is definitely a thought-provoking problem. Cheating in the public servants examination, plagiarizing the publications of others, and dishonesty in other aspects always exist.

Cheating in the public servants examinations nowadays is still a big problem. The stability and relatively higher income of this work attract too many people. Also, the keen competition and the desire for the position make many people cheating in the exam.

Academic plagiarism is another big problem. In many universities and research institutes, the quality and quantity of papers one publishes become the major way to judge one’s ability. Consequently, some students, and sometimes, even some teachers, who want to take a short cut and become successful quickly, plagiarize the publications of others.

Similarly, dishonesty exists in other aspects in our daily life, Such as fabricating evidence by the witness, drawing up budgets by some officers and so on.

In a short time, if not caught, some people may take advantage of dishonesty to get what they want. But, if caught, then these people will no doubt be thoroughly discredited. Besides, in the long run, it will do harm to the moral

character of the whole society.

Now, as postgraduates in the Chinese Academy of Sciences, maybe, in the future, most of us will choose scientific research as our lifetime work. However, whatever jobs we choose, we should make honesty as our basic principle, and always remember: Honesty is the best policy”.
