Have you tried to make promises yet you failed to do it?

Some say that promises are made to be broken.It's a fact that we do give promises as a manifestation of our sincerity to what we are saying and that we commit ourselves to do it.Whether that promise is for ourselves or for others, it's still important to keep it.However, sometimes people tend to fail keeping a promise.How about you? Do you keep promises? or were there times that you failed to do it?

One lesson I have learned from the passed years is never break a promise. Specially when you have done something bad and then you promise not to do it again. Because it will come back to you. Never say something that you can't do. You will be sorry for the consequences. It happened to me.

Never in my life have I heard the expression "promises are made to be broken"..I've heard "RULES are made to be broken" but never promises...That said, I NEVER make a promise I can't keep and have raised my kids to be that way as well..

i keep promises i've made as much as possible. it always pays to be true to your word. but sometimes i fail to keep them when i try to weigh the situation and think that it won't benefit both parties. i would try to compromise then.

hi bren_yrra, I do fail keeping a promise. Like, every time. haha! But the promises that I usually fail to do are so petty, something that are so forgivable. It is sometimes hard to make promises especially with friends. Because they will sure expect you to keep up and do what you promised. So, making some promises are not really a good idea for me. lolz
