00:00:00,750 --> 00:00:03,470
This is it really a full lecture here.

2
00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:11,070
It's more of a side note disclosure when you're trying to persuade people don't lie.

3
00:00:11,070 --> 00:00:13,860
Number one it's just not a nice thing to do.

4
00:00:13,860 --> 00:00:17,790
Number two I hope you have ethics that would preclude that.

5
00:00:17,790 --> 00:00:23,910
I know there are some wildly successful people in the world who everybody knows they're liars and they're

6
00:00:23,910 --> 00:00:31,560
successful and they're billionaires and sometimes they have high political offices and powers but I'm

7
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:37,140
assuming you want a career for the long term and you care about your reputation and you're not just

8
00:00:37,140 --> 00:00:41,860
after one quick approval of a budget today or one quick sale.

9
00:00:41,910 --> 00:00:50,350
You want to build a career you want to build a reputation you want to build a legacy so don't lie.

10
00:00:50,370 --> 00:00:56,700
Be truthful be confident that your statements when you're trying to persuade someone in any other time

11
00:00:57,090 --> 00:01:03,240
will stand up to scrutiny and that a fair minded person who really looks at what you've said and had

12
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:10,740
a lot of other available facts in front of them would conclude that you were honest and ethical and

13
00:01:10,740 --> 00:01:14,320
fair and maybe you didn't convince the person.

14
00:01:14,500 --> 00:01:21,040
But people still have a strong sense that you're a fair decent person because ultimately if you want

15
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:27,620
to persuade more and more people your reputation as someone who's honest is crucial.
