“When you're strong enough and confident enough to speak the truth, you gain respect and influence. Being honest and straightforward will also open doors for you.”
— Les Brown

Simplified Meaning:
When you have the courage and self-assurance to say what you really think and feel, people will admire and listen to you more. For example, if a student tells the teacher that a policy is unfair and suggests a better one, others might start to respect the student for their honesty. By being clear and truthful in what you say, new chances and friendships can appear. Imagine a worker who admits when they make a mistake at work; their boss might trust them more and consider them for promotion. Practicing honesty can lead to new opportunities and stronger relationships in many areas of life.
