    sometimes dishonesty helps! but believe me not for a long time!

    and about your friend cheating may help him in exams only !

    but the teacher knows that hes not smart! and he puts himself in a bad position in front of the teachers if he got caught!

    honesty always put people in the safe side!

    Yes and no. Honesty for the right intention is good. Dishonesty has good intention is also good. However, cheating is different. That is not dishonesty, that is cheating, and if the person cheats, he will cheat all the time and he will only attract more cheaters.

    Honesty doesnt pay but awareness and intelligence does. Do not be discouraged by it, honest and dishonest is not an issue. What is important is that you are honest to yourself! That is the utmost importance!

    Honesty pays. You have to live with your conscience. Who cares about other people's success?
