Have you made promises that are difficult to keep?

One should weigh the task that is ahead. I did not do that while promising Hatley that I would check for her best responses. I do have a task indeed. But I will see to its end!

Very true, I just hate to disapoint anyone is all. Better to stay out of trouble.

I think when we try not to make too much promises that we know we cannot keep in life and it is always good to do the promises that we make.

Must you rub it in sishy! Leave me alone! But I bet I will complete that task no matter what.

It was tough but I did it. At my first attempt I deleted the pages by mistake. I had already reached up to 250. I started all over again but succeeded.

I'm sure you will, after going through hundreds of pages at least...

I haven't read rober Frost in years. Thank for this. I love poetry and se to write some - a few were published. Yes, we do get a sense of satisfaction when we have kept our promises. You are so right

Sorry - I cannot yet use three fingers on my left hand so make frequent errors. Must download spell check

This is a quote by Robert Frost. Many of us believe in keeping promises once they are made. Once fulfilled they give us a nice feeling.

just making you smile my friend. I know you can do it. I think you are almost there????? GO go go go

It is stale news. That project has been completed long time ago. You better go and find out!

Some friend I have here! I need encouragement For a participation of 60000 responses it is no joke flipping through best responses. I am nowhere near the last page. But tenacity being my middle name,I will not give up.

What I promised Hatley I fulfilled. It was a tough task with 60000 responses which meant greater number of best responses. It took me a long time but I am glad I finished the task. Today's generation is famous for giving false promises. Just a few days ago my neighbour who has come from abroad promised me that he would drop in but he did not. I did not ask him but he himself said he would. When they cannot keep to their promise why make it. It upsets me. Never promise something which we cannot keep.

Oh that's really a feat, good job my friend. The time you have spent pays off, without a doubt. I'm sure hatley would be elated because you have kept your promise to her.

That can be very annoying as others would make their plans depending on you and then you let them down. Very bad Alechin. Since you are aware of this I am sure you will do something about it. As for me if I have made a promise, rain or shine, I will stick to it.

That again is totally in your hands. It is odd that you say yes when you know it is a no!

Well you undoubtedly are right. I should stick to my promises. But as I said, the most important thing for me would be learning to say NO. And not always agreeing. Or at least saying maybe. :)

Do you make promises and never keep. Can you tell us about it?

That is indeed a wise thing to do. As they look before you leap! Right?

typo - Please read as '...as they say look before......'

Sometimes we do not weigh the situation and on the surface they seem to be achievable. As you say we all have this experience at some time in our life. At the moment, I am going through it, but I shall keep to my promise

Sometimes what happens is that it looks all easy. It is only when one starts getting into whatever that promise is one realises how difficult it is to accomplish it. As is happening to me at this moment. I have promised Hatley that I will work on her best responses but it never seems to end!

Procrastination is the worst of all crimes against oneself. I too do that with me. I put off things that can wait but sometimes when things pile up it becomes impossible to attend to them but attend I have to. Your thought for others is good in that you do not promise something that you cannot do. Some give false promises which can be frustrating for the one whom a promise is made!

I normally keep to all promises. The case in point is working on Hatley's best responses. It was a tough task but I kept my promise. The only promise I have yet to keep is suggesting something for my friend who is losing hair. I read somewhere about a cure. I still cannot find it. But I have it in my mind. I hate those who makes promises and do not keep them as most just say it knowing fully well at that point in time itself that they will not keep them!
