do you think about what you can promise, and do you keep your promises when you make them?.....or do they fall by the wayside?.......

Good question my friend.
I,for one, believe very strongly in the word given. It is a reflection of your character and integrity, your honor and dignity. . If all people have these strong qualities much of the legal profession would be out of business.
If your word is unquestionable, the people around tend to have a lot of trust and confidence in you and things that you do.
Thats cool...is'nt it ? So, never make a promise you cannot keep

Most people don't intentionally promise with no intention of following through (although some do). I acknowledge I am guilty of not keeping promises, although it was never intentional. Now, I only make promises that I *know* I can keep. Otherwise I just say, "I will do my very best to make it happen."

As I have gotten older, it has become extremely important to me to follow through with the promises I make. When I was younger, I'd let some fall away and then rationalize why I couldn't do it. Now it's a matter of personal integrity, and of treating others the way I'd want to be treated.

The promise of life after death is a good example of comfort to a fool.

As one becomes consistent, the need for a promise vanishes. One needs to promise if the track record is not consistent.

I seldom make promises, because a promise is a debt.

A promise is a verbal contract. We shouldn’t make them unless we can keep them.
