One of the most important traits to me is keeping your word when you give it. One of the nicest compliments I have ever received was from someone who really didn't like me very much. She said, "you always keep your word even when you later change your mind". Yes I do.
Wondering what other people had to say about the subject, I googled it. It offered some interesting quotes that I want to share.
People with good intentions make promises. People with character keep them.
When you don't keep your word you lose credibility.
Not keeping your word is a quick way to get cut off.
Among the things you can give and still keep are your word, a smile and a grateful heart.
Keep your word. When you say you will do something and don't do it you teach others (including yourself) that you cannot be trusted.
So it appears that I am in good company and I value the company of like minded people who also keep their word when given.
