When I was a law professor, a student reported that I made an error in grading his exam by giving him too many points. He was and after thanking him for his honesty, I changed the in my records. His beaming (欢笑的) face turned to “You’re lowering my grade?” he said angrily. “I would never have come in ……”
He didn’t finish the but it was obvious that his display of honesty was false. He thought he’d have it all—praise and the grade.
Several colleagues thought I should have let the higher grade stand all I’d accomplished was to discourage him from being in the future. And every time I tell this , some people agree with this remark.
But I can’t see how I could give good for worsening my mistake in grading by undermining (损害) the honesty of all my grades by failing to an error. The grade itself would be a dishonest reflection of his and it would have been to other students. How could I possibly give a a gift of an unearned grade?
I know voluntarily reporting an error in one’s favor is , but, like extra change, it’s the thing to do. People with real honesty, hate to give up benefits as mush as anyone else. The difference is that for them a good conscience and reputation is reward enough to give reason for the cost of doing the right thing.
Perhaps the student’s grade did discourage him from being honest in the future, but bribing (贿赂) him to be honest so that he does the right thing when it’s cost-free would have him even more. The duty to be honest is right and wrong, not risks and rewards.

I often read of incidents of misunderstanding or conflict. I'm left . Why do these people create mistrust and problems, especially with those from other ?
I was growing up in Kuala Lumpur in the early 1960s, children from different races and religions played and studied in harmony. At that time my family lived a stone's from Ismail's. And no one was bothered that Ismail was a Malay Muslim and I was an Indian Hindu—we just our differences. Perhaps,our elders had not filled our heads with unnecessary advice, well or otherwise.
We were nine when we became friends. During the school holidays, we 'd the countryside on our bicycles,hoping to the unexpected. At times Ismail would accompany my family as we made a rare shopping trip to town. We would be glad of his .
When I was twelve, my family moved to Johor. Ismail's family later returned to their village, and I touch with him. One spring afternoon in 1983, I stopped a taxi in Kuala Lumpur. I my destination. The driver acknowledged my but did not move off. Instead, he looked at me. “Raddar?" he said, using my childhood nickname (绰号).I was astonished at being so addressed (称呼).Unexpectedly! It was Ismail! Even after two we still recognized each other. Grasping his shoulder, I felt a true affection, something to describe.
If we can allow our children to be without prejudice, they'll build friendships with people,regardless of race or religion, who will be their side through thick and thin. On such friendships are societies built and we can truly be, as William Shakespeare once wrote, “We happy few. We band of brothers".
