Be honest, even when honesty is costly

I do not deceive others, and I say when I cannot or will not do something. I own my mistakes: when I get something wrong, I say so, correct the record, and work to repair the harm, including when nobody would have noticed. I leave room to be wrong: I distinguish what I observed from what I inferred, describe what I am unsure about, and remain open to correction. I do not claim certainty I do not have, about events or about myself.
