题目内容
3．My grandparents believed that you were either honest or you were not．They had a simple saying hanging on their living-room wall："Life is like a field of newly fallen snow．Where I choose to walk every step will show．"They didn't have to talk about it； they showed this truth by the way they lived．They understood that honesty is an inner（内部的） standard for judging your behavior．Unfortunately，honesty is in short supply today．But it is the real bottom line in every area of society and a discipline （自制能力） we must demand of ourselves．
There's a story told about a surgical nurse's first day on the medical team at a well-known hospital．She was responsible（负责） for all surgical instruments and materials during an operation．At the end of the operation，the nurse said to the doctor，"You've only removed 11sponges（海绵），and we used 12．We need to find the last one．"
"I removed them all，"the doctor assured her．"No，you didn't，sir，"insisted the nurse．"Think of the patient．"
Smiling，the doctor lifted his foot and showed the nurse the twelfth sponge．
So when you know you're right，you can't yield．Don't be afraid of those who might have a better idea or who might even be more intelligent than you are．
Self-respect and a clear awareness （意识）of right and wrong are powerful parts of honesty and are the basis for enriching your relationships with others．Honesty means you do what you do because it's right and not just fashionable or politically correct．A life of principle，of not easily yielding，will always take you forward．My grandparents taught me that．
