I would like to talk about a scenario where I told the truth to my best friend. Deepak is my best friend since last two years. We were working together. We know each other very well and most important. I know Deepak lies sometimes. So once upon a time, the customer came to our store and asked, Do you have this model? But we don’t have in the stock. So he tried to convert and he showed the another model and told that the model was same as you asked. Which was not true. In that time customer bought it and gone. Then I told Deepak that you did not lie to someone because with the lie you can sell product today but you can’t build trust and most important customer can go legal against you. Firstly he got angry and argued with me then suddenly he gone from there. After a little time period, he came back to me and told me that he felt good to see that I am thinking about him. He also told me he will try. This will not happen in the future. And this is the truth I told my friend.

I would like to talk about a scenario where I told the truth to my best friend. Deepak has been my best friend for the last two years. We were working together, and we know each other very well. Most importantly, I know Deepak lies sometimes. Once, a customer came to our store and asked, "Do you have this model?" We didn't have it in stock, so he tried to convince the customer by showing another model and claiming that it was the same as the one they asked for, which was not true. The customer bought it and left. I then told Deepak that he should not lie to someone because, with a lie, you can sell a product today, but you can't build trust, and most importantly, the customer could take legal action against you. At first, he got angry and argued with me, then he walked away. After a little while, he came back to me and said he felt good that I was thinking about him. He also told me he would try to ensure this would not happen in the future. This is the truth I told my friend.
