I Found this video very interesting. It is about Honesty, which means it is closely related to Unit 2. ´´Honesy is the best policy´´ This girl has a clear English, and clear pronunciation. I hope you can take advantage of it.

Power ofHonesty 

The power of honesty — increase your honestly threshold.

Honesty is the superior strategy because those who play games of deception, or outright lie, waste a lot of creative energy. They are also not being authentic, which will lead to eruptions, crises, and neuroses.

An important distinction is to be made between honesty with others and honesty with yourself. Being honest with yourself is absolutely, 100% critical at all times. Never, ever, is there a case where you should be allowing self- deception. Honesty with other people is highly desirable, but virtually impossible on a practical level in everyday life. White lies, or omissions of information, are simply necessary to function. Just don't let it get out of hand. The more honesty you can tolerate to practice with others, the better off you'll be.

Honesty is hard because of the costs you must bare when you're honest in some situations. For example, to be 100% honest at your job evaluation might cost you your job. Sometimes the cost is too painful or tedious to bare, like telling your girlfriend that you don't like her dress. It's also possible to be brutally honest to the point where you are revealing too much information, more than the other party even wants to know.

Honesty and authenticity give you incredible power, in several ways. First, you become extremely confident and grounded when you know you are always honest with others, even at great cost. Second, other people see your authenticity over time and get drawn to you because so few people are willing to be brutally authentic. Honesty can be a very valuable thing when no one around is brave enough to give honest feedback.

Your ability to be honest even in though situations is a measure of your integrity, strength, and ultimate success.
