GoalValue truthfulness and tell the truth when you make a mistake.
New words
honesty · halolliktruthful · rostgo‘ylie · yolg‘onsincere · samimiy
Explanation
An honest person is truthful in words and in deeds. One lie leads to more lies, and people stop believing us. If we make a mistake, we tell the truth and apologise — then people can help us. Telling the truth is easier than lying.
