watch this scene watch it keep your eye on these number what would you do about it that incident came to involve each of us in this room and the congress to consider the subject of honesty from many is sure that sound easy some of the time it is but it can be a real problem especially when wanting to be honest conflicts with other things you want to do now getting back to that scene in the locker room it happen witness let's see again exactly what jim s ben that bob was in his locker reported to mr barker i didn't know what to do so i thought about doing anything that night i didn't get much sleep the next day at school was awful i just had to do something tell somebody then after school oh well i guess when you're in a state right that it doesn't take much to set you off it  yes we promise but then this one's on me terry here's what happened after gemma nick left the drugstore jerry and i talked about jim and told us and terri there is nothing for you to do but tell mr barker about  but we promised jim our promise to tell a lie doesn't count i think you promise to tell a lie is the same thing i can understand you're being so calm about having us do you think you're to me it's your duty well there i was wanting to be square with jim well i didn't want rosemary and it did seem dishonest to conceal a thing like that so practice the next day i made up my mind to speak to mr brock i don't know just how i was going to say it but nick and jim had seen it moving fast to keep me from talking well i didn't get to speak to mr barker that i was made a report i did what was the obvious thing for me to do i question bob and ben and i from the back and wait right now look let's see what pointers we can pick up about honesty well one thing i learned to be honest you have to find the truth that's not always easy i taught take something from ben and then i song buy an expensive pen it seems and stone some money but you didn't know i wanted that's right and you didn't even give me the benefit of the valves now you should have asked yourself some questions jim is it logical to think of testing our hypothesis sometimes it takes a lot of testing to find the truth now can we drop another general principle about honesty i'd say the next step is pretty obvious tell the truth isn't that simple no i don't think it is simple and certainly the way i described by blinking in and taking the money that wasn't the tru at least not the way jim tell me the story maybe it was my fault i wasn't careful to tell you exactly what i said let's call it express the troops we mean being careful of what you say is the truth and also being careful when you talk about being sure that people understand what you mean but there's something more to being honest than just telling the truth  not to say anything and then went to you intending to talk wasn't that the time and what about me maybe i wasn't honest when i broke it up and wouldn't let him so we said at the start that honesty often involves conflicts that's think back it seems to me terry that your intentions were honorable here a conflict with between your pledge to jim and your own chance of doing what was right you believed you were doing the right thing by next stop you as a good deal to be said for his intentions too he was thinking of the good of the team it's not that i'm saying he was right but ever came about that we have known faith on our team in order to win games i guess i wasn't thinking very well i did just see the whole season blowing up in our faces maybe maybe inside i didn't really believe bob was in the inside i think that's the clue to this biggest thing we're seeking out of this knoll yourself examine your motives it's not what you're doing and why you're doing it if your intentions are on it's then your deeds can't be completely i guess this is the time for me to explain my prissy when i came in and tell mr brown i started by saying certain things what i said and what i was really thinking were i think we've all learned a good lesson i've always heard that honesty is the best policy now i'm catching on to write that so it isn't always easy to be honest but when you have a problem involving your own honesty will help you to remember these three points know yourself be sure of your intentions the motives behind what you're doing and say find the truth tested in the light of past experience checking in every way you can and express the truth make sure you say what you mean to say and make sure your meaning is clear to just such a pen for a long time and i bought it with money my ass gave me for my birthday and as for what happened in the locker room well it was this way i soon as i finished dressing i have it out into the gym then i remembered something and came back i looked around for ben but he wasn't there so i went to his locker you see ben had been doing sound effects from the school radio program that morning and he had brought out something we need in
