Honesty means no contradictions or discrepancies in thoughts, words, or actions. Being honest to oneself is real and for the purpose of producing a particular task confidence and inspire faith in others. Honesty means never to abuse what is given with confidence. However, the concept of honesty can be confusing and easily manipulated because it is more interior. Honest behavior measure a person’s moral qualities in which all behavior patterns and motivations depending on self-regulation of an individual.

Honesty is the human quality of communicating itself through human meaning and act correctly (truthfully). Therefore, honesty in fact closely related to the value of truth, including the ability to listen, as well as the ability to speak, as well as any behavior that can arise from human action. Simply put, honesty can be defined as an ability to express facts and personal beliefs as possible as it is. This attitude is manifested in behavior, both honest to others or to yourself (do not cheat yourself), and honest attitude towards personal motivation and inner reality in an individual.

Commitment comes from the commitment (an agreement or a pledge to do something in the future – English). In other words, commitment is an agreement or promise or commitment to implement something in the future. “Commitment” is derived from the Latin word co – mittimus . That is, co meaning “together”, mittimus mean “we send”. Mittimus derived from the Latin verb mittere meaning “to send”. With missionary fervor that later became the basis for a commitment.

Instilling the values of simplicity is a challenge for educators in the current lust gratification society that worships buy. Value simplicity associated with zealous attitude, a behavior to use something as necessary as it is, does not exceed what is supposed to be.

Moderation of course the opposite and not distinguished by a simple gesture. Attitude does not usually appear in simple activities that are redundant, for example, like to go prom nite in a hotel, parties who are not related and are not meaningful to the educational process, the use of a car to school without permission, showing off luxury goods (cars, mobile phones, and etc.), excessive consumption, to waste time in vain for pleasure, and others.
