Im not an expert in a lot of things but I do I know a few basics that will help you in life. So, here is some unsolicited advice to think about and hopefully help you. Remember the old saying that you are only as good as your word? Well, it still applies today. If you tell someone you are going to do something then follow through and do it. Example: two nights ago I was working in Covingron,it was late at night. A customer emailed me and said they were having a system problem. The customer wanted to know how soon I could get there. I told them I would get there that night. 1030 pm rolls around its time to leave the job site I am on. Its about an hours drive to the customer I told I would go to. Im driving there thinking why dont I just go in the morning it will keep til then. I decided to go anyway. Im glad I did because I did what I said I was going to do. I dont expect any atta boys or job well done from the customer. Doing what I said I was going to do gives me something 10 times more valuable than what the customer could say. It gives me self respect and confidence. We dont hear a lot about our word being our bond nowadays but we should. I wonder how many parents still teach this trait to their kids? Something to think about. Have a great weekend friends.
