"Word of Honor"

When i say something, i always mean it.

My bond is my word, but I am not promising or talking and no action

I do not promise but i just say i will try. And do it. I would even borrow money if i don't have the money yet, so i can pay as i promised, to keep my word of honor.

Hi, I give promise to someone if I am sure about keeping it. Sometimes when I can't complete the promise I feel guilty about that so as you said we should be a man of action and not the man of words. We should always think before speaking. If we break the promise we may lose the trust of others.

Every time I hear that, I know its bad news. My ex husband said it several times. Those thing she attatched to it never happened. i hate hearing I give you my word of honor....

it is better than not to promise than breaking a promise. i know the promises are free but doesn't qualify the breaking them is OK. so.. yes better not promise if one can't keep words.

I don`t think that I promise a lot, at least not now. Maybe when I was younger, I promised more. Remember that we grew in oaths of all sorts, including marriage oaths. Now I think that I will do as much as I can. I can`t do more and I do not know how much I`ll be able to do until I actually do it.

I try to keep my word, but sometimes, there are unavoidable circumstances along the way, And with that, I am truly sorry. But I do tell right away to a person I have promised if there would be a bit of delay so that he/she won't have bad thoughts about me.

I can't stand and understand people who make all kind of promises but don't keep their word. I Always do but I also learned (after years) that it's better for me not to promise anything anymore. Because a promise is a heavy weight on my shoulders, I Always keep it no matter how ill I am, no matter if I have to push my children aside. Something other people would never do. I never say: I give you my word of honour. I also never say: You can trust me or count on me. These are things you have to prove/show by your attitude. The more frequently people would say this to me, the less I trust them.

Perhaps when I was young, I did have some promises that meant to be broken. When maturation came, I had come to realized that it should not be. I tried not to make any promises, especially if it is impossible.

There are people who are so good in promises but not keeping it , they always have that convincing power but it is only up to there and its again broken. I believed it is so important to have this 'word of honor ' in a person because it tells what kind of person you are . It signifies ones conviction in life .

Sometimes I give my promises unfortunately there were times when I really was not able to fulfill some of them so the lesson should be not to promise because you don't know what will come tomorrow. Even if you plan to do what you said but there are some accidental circumstances that hinder you from doing them. So the best thing to do is just be a man of action not of words.

Yes, it's out of most people, always giving a statement like that, maybe the goal is only to convince someone, if it means better met, if not to say it's only a mere greeting. I realized, I'd like to say that, I promise to do the convincing. But I sometimes do without promising if someone was very kind to me.
