Your children are watching
If you say you will do something and then don't...
they won't forget.. and worse.. they will emulate
Promises will lose their magic and threats will lose their potency
Your friends and coworkers are watching
If you say you will do something and then don't...
You may be passed up in the future
Opportunities will go elsewhere... to others who are more reliable
If you say you will do something and then don't...
You are setting in motion a behavior that will destroy your reputation and credibility
And that, in the end, is the only thing you can truly call your own
Don't be flaky
