The most important quality of a great personality is honesty.
So is honesty really so important? Let's take a look at the true story below.
There was a girl who went to France just after graduation. Not long after she discovered that the ticket office of the local public transportation system was self-service, that is to say, you can buy tickets wherever you want to go.
Almost all stations are open, there are no ticket gates, no ticket inspectors, and even random inspections are rare.
Smart she discovered this management loophole, and since then, she has evaded fare every time she rides in the car.
Four years have passed. The famous university's signs and outstanding academic performance made her full of confidence. She began to frequently enter the doors of some multinational companies in Paris and confidently promote herself.
But these companies were very enthusiastic at first, but after a few days, they all politely rejected her.
Repeated failures made her particularly angry. She believes that these companies are racially discriminatory and therefore exclude foreigners.
For the last time, she rushed into the office of the company's human resources manager and asked the manager to give her a reasonable reason. However, the ending was unexpected.
The manager said to her: "Madam, we do not discriminate against you. On the contrary, we value you very much. When you come to apply for a job, we are very interested in your educational background and academic qualifications. To be honest, in terms of working ability, you The person we are looking for."
"Then why not accept this kind of talent for your company to use?"
"Because we checked your credit history and found that you had been fined for evading fares by car."
"I don't deny this. But for this trivial matter, have you given up a talent who has published papers in journals many times?"
"We don’t think it’s a trivial matter. We noticed that the first ticket evasion was in the first week after you came to our country, so the inspector believed your explanation because you said you were not familiar with the self-service ticketing system, and you After that, the fare was changed. But after that, you evaded the fare twice."
"At that time, there was no change in my pocket."
"No, no, ma'am, I don't agree with your explanation. You are doubting my IQ. I believe you have experienced fare evasion several times before being discovered."
"Why are you so serious? Can't it be changed later?"
"No, no, ma'am, this incident proves two things:
You don't respect the rules. You are good at finding loopholes in the rules and using them maliciously.
You are not trustworthy.
Many of our company's work is based on trust, if you are responsible for market development in a certain field, then the company will provide you with a lot of power.
In order to save costs, just like our public transportation system, we have no way to establish a complicated regulatory agency. Therefore, we cannot hire you. "
Until then, she felt very regretful as if she had just woke up from a dream.
Morality is the most basic quality of a person. If there is a problem with his personality, he will lose trust and support.
Therefore, you must rely on your own abilities in the workplace, and don't lose your character at any time or in any matter.
