Promise. 承诺
This what we what I learnt throughout the week, after my class last Saturday.
Promise, seems to be a simple word, but when we go through the understanding of what Promise is, the fundamentals..Promise, is more than what it is pronounced as.
Many of us promise something and forget the next. Or we promise something, and we do not act seriously on it. Many, takes the "OK" or, "Oh-(nod)" as "response" but how many of us know that it's not just a response, but a promise. When we say out something, we promise something, we ought to do it, to fulfill it.The first quality of fine life is to learn how to fulfil a promise made. Rich in money does not mean we are classy; but rich in quality does make you go higher level.
Yesterday, I learnt my lesson.
The employer instructed me to do something, trusting my professionalism, he passed on the task to me. I casually responded, "OK". But something came up, I postponed it but forgot to inform him. For him, he must be thinking that the task has been carried out. For me, it's just a day different. No biggie deal.
Until, problems came into the pictures. I realised, my response as , "OK" is not just a response to him, but a trust that I will carry out the duty accordingly.
Now, how many of us actually take Promise as a promise? Or merely just a response?
