The word given as a promise, as a guarantee, is one of the main characteristics of an individual. Your word shows who you are. You are as good as your word.

To be someone who keeps his/her word is to be of good character. Your word reveals your personal integrity, the kind of person you are. When I honor my word, I honor the one I’ve given my word to.

The word is a working tool. It can help you be prosperous. But how will you prosper if your working tool is broken?

Can any marriage withstand lies? Can any individual maintain a relationship with someone who lies? Only if this individual is someone just like or worse than the liar.

If you want to prosper, to earn the respect of others, and to have a good reputation, then keep your word. It is better not to speak than to speak and not fulfill what you say.
