4. Honour Your Word
A person’s true value is calculated by the degree to which they keep their word. If you say you will do something, you must do it.
In business, if you quote a price, you must honour it even if you end up losing money.
If you say you will be somewhere at a certain time, or that you will call someone later, you must do everything you say you will do.
Your word becomes your own personal commandment to yourself as if spoken by God.
Exercises
Do Not Speak While In A Group
Refrain from saying even one word when you are with a group of friends or your family. Tell them that you are going to stay silent for half an hour. If they would like to try the exercise, you can each take turns being silent.
You should still participate in whatever is going on, but merely be mute. You will start to hear your words forming in your mind and soon be able to think before you speak rather than the other way round.
