“Commitment is not a word you give to others. It begins with the value you give to your own word. If you break your promise once, then the next time you say “I will do it,” people will listen, but they will not trust. Because trust is never in the promise. Trust is in the follow through. When you value your commitment, people respect you. When you break it, people doubt you. So before expecting anyone to believe your word, ask yourself one thing. Do you stand by what you say, or do you only say it?” — Thanzil Salam
