Are we reliable in our daily life, in our business, at work, with our family, and friends? This is a quality I like to see in the people around me. Of course, it is the quality that I practice every day before asking somebody to do so. I do my best.

Frequently, in my environment, especially in my business, or in a group, and with friends, I noticed that people are not always responsible.


With our friends and family.

I found that people around us had a difficult time keeping their word. For instance, a friend of mine told me that she would email me in 2 days, but she is still waiting for 3 weeks!!!! What happened?

She thought that I knew that she was sick and somebody would tell me. As far as I know, I am not reading people’s minds, at least not yet! It is not so hard to call or email a short message so that we know.

At work and Business.

It is the same thing. Be precise about what you say that you are going to do. If you are receiving an important email, it is imperative that you answer within 72 hrs or ASAP. In my opinion, each IMPORTANT message must be answered; it shows respect and integrity toward the person. However, not all emails are crucial to look at your priorities in your day.

In conclusion, knowing yourself, your priorities, and how you manage your time can help you be reliable in what you say. In addition, you need to be accountable to yourself and, if needed, find an accountability partner who can remind you of what you said you would do. Also, be consistent, respectful of others, and show your integrity.

Be consistent and keep your word; you say you will do what you say.
