GROUND WORTH CLIMBING
Duda Owner IONOS • January 22, 2016
It may sound cliché, it may sound trite, but walking the moral high ground is no small matter. It is ultimately the right thing to do. People will respect you for doing it, and you will preserve your self-respect. Some things are not worth losing at any price.

We explore the overuse or inappropriate use of the words "honest," "honesty," and "honestly." Much of the overuse or inappropriate use of these words is in contexts that intrinsically message the audience that the speaker is not trustworthy.

My solution is to replace these honesty validators with CLARITY VALIDATORS. Instead of trying to be honest, try to be clear. Replacing "honest," "honesty," and "honestly," with "clear," "clarity," and "clearly," produces significantly more benefit to the speaker and to the audience.
