It is true that most of us value honesty highly. However, nowadays we often confront confidence crisis such as cheating, overcharging, fake commodities and so on. I think that we should be honest because being honest is not only beneficial to ourselves but also to others and the whole society. The reasons can be listed as follows.Firstly, only honest people can be truly respected by the others and can make more friends over a long period of time. Secondly, honesty, which is the traditional virtue of the Chinese people, can make our life easier and more harmonious. For example, consumers will not be afraid of being overcharged if dealers are honest, and thus dealers can win over more customers. Thirdly, honesty can make our society more stable. A case in point is that Singapore, a society featuring trustworthiness and integrity, has a comparatively low criminal rate.
It goes without saying that being honest is of great benefit to both the community and individuals. There is no doubt that we should foster the spirit of honesty. In conclusion, laying stress on honesty will become the public morals in our society.

Jerald Wayne Strickland
Interim Senior Vice President of Academic Affairs, University of Houston
Curator Ream, Chancellor George, Provost Cope, Dean Davis, distinguished faculty, graduates, friends and family members, I am so pleased to be with you on this special occasion.
Thank you Dean Davis for the wonderful introduction, and I bring warm wishes from my University to the 2005 graduates, their families and guests, and to the faculty and administration of the College of Optometry. I am especially pleased to join University of Missouri System Curator, Dr. Anne Ream, Dean Larry Davis and the faculty to celebrate this most important event in the life of an optometrist, the sudden and abrupt change from professional student to doctor.
Graduates, it is a very high order privilege and distinct honor for me to address you today, and I am humbled by your collective accomplishments as students, as clinicians and as citizens.
The 28 women and 16 men who are members of the Class of 2005 come from thirteen (13) states. You joined this fine university and college four years ago as eager students with strong academic backgrounds and collegial spirits. I checked with the dean and a few members of your class earlier today and I am happy to report that your spirits have not been broken, nor your intellectual curiosity diminished.
One could rate the approximately 1,200 members of the Optometry Class of 2005 across this nation as the best we have graduated, indeed with the many changes in our practicing profession and consequently in the preparatory curriculum one can feel quite safe in making such a statement at this and, hopefully, subsequent commencements.
In addition to these accolades, one should realize that only 1/100th of 1 percent of the world’s population achieves the doctoral level of education. Therefore, from a global perspective, this is truly a remarkable achievement.
I read recently that brevity, humor and celebrity are important in graduation speeches. If I can do one out of three, I feel I have accomplished my goal.
I want to tell you a story and share a simple message with you.
Mrs. Brown was a longtime patient of mine at the University Eye Institute. We had worked through systemic and eye diseases and related conditions over about 8 years. She was a regular, annual patient who felt comfortable about calling me when she had questions and sharing with me issues related to her healthcare needs. We had dealt with open angle glaucoma, cataract surgery, diabetes, hypertension and frequent changes in her refractive error.
About 4 years ago I received one of those regular phone calls but this time there was sadness in her voice. Remember, I was the one person of only a few with whom she shared her health and vision problems and sometimes personal problems. I was “Her Eye Doctor” and we had long ago passed the cross cultural communication barrier.
As we talked, Mrs. Brown began to cry as she shared the fact that her health insurance and subsequent Medicare changes would no longer pay for her visits nor the diagnostic and therapeutic services that I prescribed. Although commonplace today, these sudden and often traumatic changes in medical service providers disregard the importance of trust, understanding and respect developed over time between patient and doctor. This scenario happens only too often where this important relationship between doctor and patient is strained and often severed due to impersonal and external factors.
The story of Mrs. Brown has been repeated tens of thousands of times in optometry, medicine, dentistry, osteopathy, podiatry, pharmacy, etc. For many, the doctor-patient relationship has been replaced with impersonal third party shepherding of patients from provider to provider. Many of you have experienced this disruption in your healthcare.
Mrs. Brown did still stay in touch with me, about once every year, with a phone call to me or my staff bringing us up-to-date on her health and vision problems. She had many doctors over those years. The reason I tell you this story is to demonstrate and emphasize to you that trust, understanding and respect are powerful magnets for doctors and their patients. A breach of these will likely repel. Good doctor-patient relationships are built on honesty and integrity and withstand external pressures, influences and even misunderstandings. A trusting doctor-patient relationship is not easily disturbed, and we see in the example of my patient, Mrs. Brown, it can prevail.
I was sure when Mrs. Brown did have a choice to return to me as her eye doctor, she would bring her family and friends.
Well, it happened! About 2 years ago, during our annual phone call, she seemed excited and most cheerful—“Doctor, I have made an appointment to see you next month, the insurance tides have turned.”
This brings to mind a truism from the American frontier: “Honesty and integrity are not something you should flirt with—you should be married to them.”
Honesty, trust, compassion, fairness, patience, understanding, respect, dignity, confidentiality, good citizenship, charity and beneficence are most worthy traits for all citizens, but they are mandatory traits for those of us who occupy positions of high responsibility for human and health services. This is not a case where 80% or even 90% of those attributes is acceptable—it’s 100%—much like take-offs and landings and action potentials, it’s all or none.
Most persons have a tincture of each of these traits, but for the healthcare provider it is an imperative to have a large therapeutic and preventive dose.
If one samples patients regarding the traits of the “best doctors” they know or have experienced, each of the previously noted virtues can be found. Patients want and expect their doctors to be professionally virtuous and to be model citizens.
You will soon take the “Optometric Oath” which allows you to state before family, friends, colleagues and your faculty, your ethical and professional convictions.
In the 4th century B.C., the Greek physician Hippocrates, the “Father of Medicine,” laid out common sense ethical principles which are known to all of us in the health professions. They deal with respect, fairness, justice, confidentiality, honesty and quality of care. “The Hippocratic Oath.”
Sound familiar? Yes, and after 17 centuries.
There is one somewhat lesser known component of the Hippocratic Oath; it is “Respect for your teachers.” Simply stated, Hippocrates wrote and pledged: “To hold him (or now her) who has taught me this art as equal to my parents and to live my life in partnership with him (her).”
For your distinguished and patient faculty members who have played roles as teacher, mentor and counselor in your career, continue this relationship and trust and respect them and the institution which has embraced you for four years.
Another truism from the American frontier: “When you get to where you are goin’, the first thing to do is take care of the horse you rode in on.”
There are few things in higher education that reach the level of pride and satisfaction for a faculty member than to share one’s knowledge, skill and experience with others who will go forth and practice (and teach others).
Back to Mrs. Brown. She taught me important lessons in doctor-patient relations—ones that work, ones, which I hope you will embrace, and practice--- honesty, integrity, understanding, respect and trust.
Congratulations and best wishes and stay the course and lead the profession of optometry to new heights, and remember Mrs. Brown, every patient can be a Mrs. Brown.
Finally, you are now entering the ranks of the optometric profession with our high expectation that you will continue the leadership traditions of Irvin Borish, Anne Ream, Jack Bennett, Larry Davis, your distinguished faculty, and your state and national optometric leaders.
I challenge each of you to distinguish yourself in all aspects of the profession. I promise you the result will indeed be fulfilling and rewarding. “Bite off more than you can chew and chew it!”
I leave you with some advice from the sage and plainspoken Will Rogers:
“Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment”
and
“Never miss a good chance to shut up”
It has been an honor to be with you today.

华盛顿与樱桃树
When George was about six years old, he was made the wealthy master of a hatchet of which, like most little boys, he was extremely fond. He went about chopping everything that came his way.
One day, as he wandered about the garden amusing himself by hacking his mother's pea sticks, he found a beautiful, young English cherry tree, of which his father was most proud. He tried the edge of his hatchet on the trunk of the tree and barked it so that it died.
Some time after this, his father discovered what had happened to his favorite tree. He came into the house in great anger, and demanded to know who the mischievous person was who had cut away the bark. Nobody could tell him anything about it.
Just then George, with his little hatchet, came into the room.
"George,'' said his father, "do you know who has killed my beautiful little cherry tree yonder in the garden? I would not have taken five guineas for it!''
This was a hard question to answer, and for a moment George was staggered by it, but quickly recovering himself he cried:
"I cannot tell a lie, father, you know I cannot tell a lie! I did cut it with my little hatchet.''
The anger died out of his father's face, and taking the boy tenderly in his arms, he said:
"My son, that you should not be afraid to tell the truth is more to me than a thousand trees! Yes - though they were blossomed with silver and had leaves of the purest gold!''

Good faith
It is true that most of us value honesty highly. However, nowadays we often confront confidence crisis such as cheating, overcharging, fake commodities and so on. I think that we should be honest because being honest is not only beneficial to ourselves but also to others and the whole society. The reasons can be listed as follows.Firstly, only honest people can be truly respected by the others and can make more friends over a long period of time. Secondly, honesty, which is the traditional virtue of the Chinese people, can make our life easier and more harmonious. For example, consumers will not be afraid of being overcharged if dealers are honest, and thus dealers can win over more customers. Thirdly, honesty can make our society more stable. A case in point is that Singapore, a society featuring trustworthiness and integrity, has a comparatively low criminal rate.
It goes without saying that being honest is of great benefit to both the community and individuals. There is no doubt that we should foster the spirit of honesty. In conclusion, laying stress on honesty will become the public morals in our society
Honesty Is Gold
Honesty means speakingthe truth and being fair and upright in act. He who lies and cheats is dishonest.: Those who gain fortunes not by hard labour but by other means is dishonest.
Honesty is a good virtue. If you are honest all the time,you'll be trusted and respected by others. A liar is always looked down upon and regarded as a black sheep by the people around. Once you lie, people will never believe you even if you speak the truth.
However, in the tide of commodity economy today, it seems that more and more people believe in money at the sacrifice of honesty. To them, among such things as health, beauty, m6ney, intelligence, honesty, reputation and talent, honesty is the only thing that can be east away. They don't understand or pretend not to understand that honesty is the biggest fortune humans own, and that it is the prerequisite for doing everything well. I think these people areto be pitied.
In short, honesty is gold. Honest, your reputation will become great;dishonest, your name will be spoiled and your personality degraded. Therefore, we should never make such an excuse as "A little dishonesty is only a trifle thing. We should eradicate immediately the seed of dishonesty once it is sowed in our minds.

A PIGEON, oppressed by excessive thirst, saw a goblet of water painted on a signboard. Not supposing it to be only a picture, she flew towards it with a loud whir and unwittingly dashed against the signboard, jarring herself terribly. Having broken her wings by the blow, she fell to the ground, and was caught by one of the bystanders.
Zeal should not outrun discretion.
有只鸽子口渴得很难受，看见画板上画着一个水瓶，以为是真的。他立刻呼呼地猛飞过 去，不料一头碰撞在画板上，折断了翅膀，摔在地上，被人轻易地捉住了。

The Raven and the Swan乌鸦和天鹅
A RAVEN saw a Swan and desired to secure for himself the same beautiful plumage. Supposing that the Swan's splendid white color arose from his washing in the water in which he swam, the Raven left the altars in the neighborhood where he picked up his living, and took up residence in the lakes and pools. But cleansing his feathers as often as he would, he could not change their color, while through want of food he perished.
Change of habit cannot alter Nature.
乌鸦非常羡慕天鹅洁白的羽毛。他猜想天鹅一定是经常洗澡，羽毛才变得如此洁白无 瑕。于是，他毅然离开了他赖以生存的祭坛，来到江湖边。他天天洗刷自己的羽毛，不但一 点都没洗白，反而因缺少食物饥饿而死。

At last the Goatherd threw a stone, and breaking its horn, begged the Goat not to tell his master. The Goat replied, "Why, you silly fellow, the horn will speak though I be silent."
Do not attempt to hide things which cannot be hid.

这故事说明，明显的罪状是无法隐瞒的。
The Miser守财奴
A MISER sold all that he had and bought a lump of gold, which he buried in a hole in the ground by the side of an old wall and went to look at daily. One of his workmen observed his frequent visits to the spot and decided to watch his movements. He soon discovered the secret of the hidden treasure, and digging down, came to the lump of gold, and stole it. The Miser, on his next visit, found the hole empty and began to tear his hair and to make loud lamentations. A neighbor, seeing him overcome with grief and learning the cause, said, "Pray do not grieve so; but go and take a stone, and place it in the hole, and fancy that the gold is still lying there. It will do you quite the same service; for when the gold was there, you had it not, as you did not make the slightest use of it."
有个守财奴变卖了他所有的家产，换回了金块，并秘密地埋在一个地方。他每天走去看 看他的宝藏。有个在附近放羊的牧人留心观察，知道了真情，趁他走后，挖出金块拿走了。 守财奴再来时，发现洞中的金块没有了，便捶胸痛哭。有个人见他如此悲痛，问明原因后， 说道：“喂，朋友，别再难过了，那块金子虽是你买来的，但并不是你真正拥有的。去拿一 块石头来，代替金块放在洞里，只要你心里想着那是块金子，你就会很高兴。这样与你拥有 真正的金块效果没什么不同。依我之见，你拥有那金块时，也从没用过。”
这故事说明，一切财物如不使用等于没有。
The Wolf and the Lamb 狼与小羊
WOLF, meeting with a Lamb astray from the fold, resolved not to lay violent hands on him, but to find some plea to justify to the Lamb the Wolf's right to eat him. He thus addressed him:"Sirrah, last year you grossly insulted me." "Indeed," bleated the Lamb in a mournful tone of voice, "I was not then born." Then said the Wolf , "You feed in my pasture." "No, good sir," replied the Lamb, "I have not yet tasted grass." Again said the Wolf, "You drink of my well." "No," exclaimed the Lamb, "I never yet drank water, for as yet my mother's milk is both food and drink to me." Upon which the Wolf seized him and ate him up, saying, "Well! I won't remain supperless, even though you refute every one of my imputations."
The tyrant will always find a pretext for his tyranny.
一只小羊在河边喝水，狼见到后，便想找一个名正言顺的借口吃掉他。于是他跑到上游，恶狠狠地说小羊把河水搅浑浊了，使他喝不到清水。小羊回答说，他仅仅站在河边喝水，并且又在下游，根本不可能把上游的水搅浑。狼见此计不成，又说道：“我父亲去年被你骂过。”小羊说，那时他还没有出生。狼对他说：“不管你怎样辩解，反正我不会放过 你。”
这说明，对恶人做任何正当的辩解也是无效的。
The Bat and the Weasels蝙蝠与黄鼠狼
A BAT who fell upon the ground and was caught by a Weasel pleaded to be spared his life. The Weasel refused, saying that he was by nature the enemy of all birds. The Bat assured him that he was not a bird, but a mouse, and thus was set free. Shortly afterwards the Bat again fell to the ground and was caught by another Weasel, whom he likewise entreated not to eat him. The Weasel said that he had a special hostility to mice. The Bat assured him that he was not a mouse, but a bat, and thus a second time escaped.
It is wise to turn circumstances to good account.
蝙蝠掉落在地上，被黄鼠狼叼去，他请求饶命。黄鼠狼说绝不会放过他，自己生来痛恨鸟类。蝙蝠说他是老鼠，不是鸟，便被放了。后来蝙蝠又掉落了下来，被另一只黄鼠狼叼住，他再三请求不要吃他。这只黄鼠狼说他恨一切鼠类。蝙蝠改口说自己是鸟类，并非老 鼠，又被放了。这样，蝙蝠两次改变了自己的名字，终于死里逃生。
这故事说明，我们遇事要随机应变方能避免危险。

Once upon a time, there was a Selfish Man. He liked everything to be
his own. He could not share his belongings with anyone, not even his
friends or the poor.
One day, the man lost thirty gold coins. He went to his friend's house
and told him how he lost his gold coins. His friend was a kind man.
As his friend's daughter was coming from an errand she found thirty
gold coins, when she arrived home, she told her father what she had
found.
The girl's father told her that the gold coins belong to his friend and
he sent for him. When the selfish man arrived, he told him how his
daughter had found his thirty gold coins and handed then to him.
After counting the gold coins the man said that ten of them was missing
and had been taken by the girl as he had forty gold coins. He further
commented that he will recover the remaining amount from him (the
girl's father). But the father refused.
The man left the gold coins and went to the court and informed the
judge there about what had taken place between him and the girl's
father.
The judge sent for the girl and her father, and when they arrived asked
the girl how many gold coins she found. She replied thirty gold coins.
The Judge that asked the selfish man how many gold coins he lost and he
answered forty gold coins.
The judge then told the man that the gold coins did not belong to him
because the girl found thirty and not forty as he claimed to have lost
and then told the girl to take the gold coins and that if anybody is
looking for them he will send for the girl.
The judge told the man that if anybody reports that they have found
forty gold coins he will send for him. It was then that the man
confessed that he lied and that he lost thirty gold coins but the judge did not
listen to him.
