In a national spelling contest in America, an
11–year–old girl was asked to spell a certain word. But with her 16 voice the judges were not
sure if she spelled the word with the letter A or E. They talked it over
and 17 decided to simply ask her
what she had said. By now, the girl knew she had 18 the word. But instead of
lying, she told the truth that she had said the 19 letter – so she lost the contest.
As the girl walked off the 20 , the entire audience stood to
their feet clapping to applaud her
21 . Later, dozens of
newspaper reporters wrote about this 11–year–old girl’s honesty, even when
it 22 her the contest. But the fact is
that she 23 the biggest contest that day: the
contest of her 24 .
Probably the biggest test of our character
and honesty is what we would do if we knew we would never get 25 . This young girl could easily have 26 and nobody would have known it but
herself. But that’s just it: She would know she did wrong. It’s been said, “If
you 27 , you make yourself cheap.” This
young girl was strong and smart enough to prize her own 28 and character more than the prize
from a spelling 29 . Her respect for herself was more
important than any 30 others might give her for
winning a contest. She knew she would have to live with herself and the 31 she made in that moment will
have long – lasting influence.
It’s so true that the choices you make
today 32 what you are tomorrow. Our
children will 33 our behavior much more than our
advice. So if we want them to
34 to be honest, we
must show them the way by being honest ourselves. Remember, our kids are 35 what we do and how we live
even when we don’t think they see or know.
