I think in this article, it depends on what your social understanding of the word 'successful' is. If you're a great liar, maybe you'll be financially successful because you can pull the wool over people's eyes, but people always get caught out. I suppose if you don't get caught, I suppose the only person you have to worry about is yourself and how you think your honour is working out for you.

To me, this article is nothing more than a rationalization for todays views on success and it's relationship to financial rather than social situations, so while the article may be true, is it really right?
