Agree/Disagree .We must always tell the truth in relationships Nowadays, people prefer to tell the truth in all life aspects. In fact, being honest is an integral foundation for a successful relationship because relationships are some how built on faithfulness. The majority of people think that being truthful is an important foundation in today's world. In my opinion ,however, being true all the times may not work in all the situations. There are compelling examples that I need to illustrate. Firstly, telling small lies can increase one's motivation to successfully execute his work. Human beings usually try to do his best in whatsoever task dedicated to them, this is related to their competitive nature. Through motivation their confidence increases, this will ultimately enhance their performance and productivity. My own experience is a compelling example for this. Last year my husband signed up for the marathon. I knew he would struggle to even finish the event but I wanted to increase his potential to feel confident in him self. When he asked me about my opinion, I lied to him mentioning that he would be from the top ten. As a result, he dedicated his time to the marathon training. He was confident of his abilities. Even though he did not win the race , my small lie was enough to maintain his motivation before and during the race. Second, being honest all the time can lead to lots of anxieties. If we tell unpleasant truths, we will spend rest of the days worrying about the consequences of what we have revealed. To be more specific, last week one of my colleagues asked me what I thought about her new hair style. I was so truthful that I told her I did not like it. I could see the frustration in her eyes Consequently, I was in regret that I expressed my true feelings. The rest of the time, I was so nervous about jeopardizing that relationship. My emotional state greatly reduced my productivity that day. Had I simply said her had looked beautiful, I would have prevented all these feelings. In conclusion, telling the truth is not always the only way to gain hearts of others. People who believe that being honest is the best way are mistaken as lies can help people perform well and because being honest can sometimes cause personal turnmoil.
