National Honesty Day
National Honesty Day, which falls on April 30th, encourages us to be honest in all we do each year.
We know the various types of lies. We've saved someone's feelings or fudged the truth just a little or maybe told an all-out whopper. We've all been told a lie or two if we've been on board.
This observance encourages honesty. Whether we're doing company or speaking with our children, honesty goes a long way toward instilling confidence. We all make mistakes. We don't know the answer or can't predict the outcome of a situation. However, we can control our own behavior and words. We can be transparent in everything we do, and we can be confident in all we do.

History has shown that the national honesty day was the first in national honesty day
In the early 1990s, M. Hirsh Goldberg, the author of The Book of Lies, M. Hirsh Goldberg, founded National Honesty Day. In comparison to all the foolishness that the first day of the month brings, the former press secretary to a Maryland governor selected the last day of April.
The day is often used as a day to warn against the most deceptive lies in history. Occasionally, the day also encourages politicians to avoid lies and tell the truth.
