I would say I actually do 60-70% of what I announce (to others or myself) I will do. Maybe it is a childish trait of mine, but I want to do a lot of thing. Later, I realize that some of these things are conflicting with each other, so I end up giving up a lot of them.

I can't say that keeping agreements is the foundation to confidence for everyone, but it certainly has been a significant understanding and experience for me and my clients. |
There is truth in what you say; I need to have some thinking about it before I can post my reply, because it is quite new ideas to me.
