NATIONAL HONESTY DAY 

Each year on April 30th, National Honesty Day challenges us to be truthful in all we do. 

National Honesty Day

We know the different kinds of lies. We've spared someone's feelings or fudged the truth just a little or maybe told an all-out whopper. Unless we walked on water, we've all told a lie or two. 

This observance encourages truthfulness. Whether we're conducting business or speaking with our children, honesty goes a long way toward instilling confidence. We all make mistakes. Sometimes, we don't know the answer or can't control the outcome of a situation. However, we can control our own actions and words. And we can speak the truth in all we do. 

NATIONAL HONESTY DAY HISTORY

The author of The Book of Lies, M. Hirsh Goldberg, created National Honesty Day in the early 1990s. The former press secretary to a Maryland governor selected the last day of April in contrast to all the foolishness the first of the month brings. 

The day is often used as a campaign for prevention against the most deceitful lies in history. Occasionally, the day also urges politicians to stay away from lies and tell the truth.
