Do what you said you would do When we talk to other people, we
keep promising them things. We say that we will certainly present them to someone. We assure them we will get back to them on the issue they asked us to help with. We guarantee that we will meet one deadline or another.
Honesty requires that we keep our promises. And that goes for even the tiniest of promises. When you promise to introduce someone to someone,
don't forget it. When you promise to remember for someone the title of a great book that came up in conversation, be sure to send that person a message soon with its title and a link to the online store where you can buy it.
The bottom line is that the
habit of bringing the conversation to a point forces you to take responsibility for your words on any other occasions as well. And to hone this skill to full automatism under everyone's power.
