These tips can benefit me into making me a better person so i can learn how not to lie. I will commit into telling the truth by actually telling the truth. I will have a conversation with someone about my commitment and how it is going. I will think twice before i lie. I can not and will not say anything that i do not  know 100% on because i can not switch words around. If someone i know tells a white lie i can not and will not judge them on it because white lies are okay. When telling a white lie i have to be careful of how i say it and when i say it. I have to talk to myself before telling any kind of lie and actually see if i can do it or go through it. Finally, when i tell the truth i will fell proud of myself and i can go home with any relaxation.
