Is honesty the best policy?

I remember doing a presentation about "Honesty is the best policy" for math class (I know what you're saying "MATHS? It doesn't make any sense?) Well yes it doesn't make any sense but we had to do it anyways. If my memory serves me right, there were 20 quotes that we had to pick from, and since I appreciate honesty so much, I pick that quote. The thing is that the teacher told us to step out of the box and impress him with a 90 seconds presentation (Yup people 90 seconds presentation).

You can see how tough it is to throw everything out of your mind in 90 seconds. Well at least for me that's very difficult, because I talk A LOT in my mind haha! I hate to be boring and ordinary, so what I did is turn that quote into a question (As you can see in the title).

I actually had to do some research and then present it based on my study, but what I did was ignore the teacher's instructions (don't do that please) and done it my own way instead. I completely relied on my way of thinking and my thoughts about this quotes for the presentation. To make it more clearer to you, it means that I just spoke from my heart directly.

At the day of my presentation I did a horrible mistake, I started off saying "Hello everyone! My name is Ronnie and today in my presentation I am going to do a presentation...." Agh! Everyone laughed at me. I was hilarious, I don't mean to brag about myself but I am memorable haha.

The teacher loved the surprising effect (as he said) about changing the quote into a question. He was totally impressed of my idea (YAY!).

This post was meant to tell you that try to stand out and be creative and if not well no harm done :D
