The fourth precept is not to tell lies. If there are so much problems at this time it is greatly due to lie. This precept seems to be childishly simple but it is also the easier to break. Though there are only profits observing it.
If you lie, even just a little bit, nobody can trust you, those who love fairness and wisdom will stay clear from you and you will easily be disposed to meet people who are use to do bad things. On the contrary, if you practice being always sincere refraining from telling lies you have a lot to win : you will have more friends, people will pay attention to you, will entrust you interesting things, you will be merrily helped etc.
