Now here's a very interesting phrase. Back in the day, i can see it as being true. Now a days though things have changed. Somewhere, somehow, honor has not been instilled in people. I know i know, your thinking, oh god here we go again. But think about it. If people would just shake hands and give their word, and then live up to it, wouldnt things be much more simple? Perhaps even better for many folks?
I dont know maybe im off base, maybe the word of a man is now as meaningless as say, this blog post. I dont know. I know that when I say i'll be somewhere i try to be, when i say I'll do something I do my best to do it. Maybe im just old fashioned, maybe im just making more of this than it really is. But nonetheless i think our world would be a better place if we all just gave our words and kept our
promises.
This can be applied to many many things in life besides business deals or negotiatons. Imagine the how the divorce rate would drop if folks would just keep their word. Imagine how the government would be ran if all politicians kept their word from being on the campaign trail. Imagine how many folks would not loose their job, or would get raises, or would get promotions if people just kept their words. Really the lack of people keeping their words is in fact part of what is wrong with our modern society. Truthfulness, trust, honesty, morals, ethics, all of which are directly connected to keeping your word.....
I dare folks, for 1 long week to keep your word. Say what you mean, mean what you say... even if it is a small thing like sure i'll do the dishes, or a complex thing like a business deal, or even simply saying "I love you" keep that word. Only say things that you truely mean for 1 week.. see if it makes your life better, or worse, or no change.. I for one will try it myself. ... and i hope to hear back from some of you on here in the comments section
