April 30 is Honesty Day, which reminds us to be careful with our words. The complete and unadulterated truth? You are correct. The world is not “court,” and we are not required to take an oath in our daily lives. Certainly, we have spared someone’s emotions, fudged the truth a bit, or even lied outright. Represent yourself to the world as effectively as feasible.
The background of Honesty Day
In the early 1990s, M. Hirsh Goldberg, author of “The Book of Lies: Fibs, Tales, Schemes, Scams, Fakes, and Frauds That Have Changed the Course of History and Affect Our Daily Lives,” founded the day. He strategically positioned it on the last day of April to counterbalance April Fool’s Day (lying!) at the beginning of the month.

HONESTY DAY ACTIVITIES
Answer queries truthfully 24 hours a day
Continue, and strive to be genuine. If you are a decent person, it shouldn’t be that challenging.
Be sincere with another person.
Been keeping something to yourself and yearning to tell someone something crucial? Attempt it immediately.
Be more transparent
As a leader in the workplace, now is a good time to communicate less via email and become more intimately engaged with your employees via face-to-face and/or video interaction with greater frequency. This will not only build trust, but also set a precedent that will establish a new form of organization-wide loyalty and attitude.
WHY WE LOVE HONESTY DAY
Integrity fosters confidence.
Sincerity goes very far. People advance by making prudent decisions and demonstrating reliability. This fosters trust, which is necessary for collaboration.
The worst truth is preferable to the greatest falsehood.
Sometimes, when we deceive, it can have a snowball effect that leads to our eventual exposure. Believe that the truth will always find its way to the surface, so just own up.
We cannot know each other’s thoughts.
Not only does being honest entail revealing the truth about facts, but also about your feelings.
