Ever since I could remember, I always had the impression that your word of honor is one of those important qualities you should have. Whenever I promise something I always do it unless something unfortunate happens that is beyond my control.  But even in those situations, I always inform the person concerned before hand that something has happened and truly regret for breaking the promise.

Unfortunately, these days, people don’t seem to valve their words anymore. Promises are commonly made but mostly broken without prior acknowledgement. Have we become a society with no conscience?

Here is an example, some fellow teachers borrowed money from another teacher. The individual amount is really not that large but it is a matter of principle. If you say you will pay, pay it.  If you can’t pay it on the day you promised, then have the manners to talk to the person concerned and not just pretend that nothing happened or try to avoid the person all together.  Holy Moses, you are teachers, what is wrong with you!!!

How about this? Friends asking you to do a job with the promise of financial returns or share. All of a sudden, they change their minds without you knowing, and leave you with the expenses and  the embarrassment of facing the other people concerned. 

I don’t know …………. but I believe in Karma. I believe in word of honor and manners.

To those heartless so called friends and associates out there, remember this, Karma can be such as pain in the ass when in comes back to you. What you do to others will come back to you 10X more.

Good Luck to you!!
