An Example of Honesty

After studying law and passing the California Bar Exam (said to be the most difficult Bar Exam in the world), I was completely qualified to be given a license to practice law. All I had to do was tell a tiny lie.

At least many other attorneys told me it was just a tiny lie, and that it shouldn't stop me from getting my license to practice law. "Just do it," I was told.

But as the fabled cherry-tree chopping President has been heard to say over the generations, "I cannot tell a lie."

As a result of my commitment to honesty, I lost the opportunity to pursue a lucrative career as an attorney.
