Mean What You Say
說話算話
Some people say that promises are made to be broken. That certainly seems to be true in this cutthroat society that we live in. But if you break your promise , you will ruin your reputation and no one will trust you anymore. So whenever we say, "I give you my word," we should mean it. There is nothing worse than to be let down by others because they have not kept their promises.
有些人說承諾就是許下來違背的。這種情形在我們所處這個競爭激烈的社會裡似乎是真話。但是如果你違背諾言,就會損毀名譽,而且沒有人會再相信你了。所以每當我們說:〔我向你保證,〕我們應該是真心誠意。再也沒有比因為別人未能遵守諾言而讓你失望更糟的事了。
In fact, it isn't so difficult to keep promises. Just remember never to promise anything we are not sure we can live up to . In short , therefore, to be trust worthy, we should always say what we mean and mean what we say.
事實上,守信並不是那麼困難的事。只要記住絻對不要許下任何你沒把握遵守的諾言。總之,要成為一個值得信賴的人,我們應該時時說內心話和說話算話。
