Chapter 5:

 Be the man of your word, demonstrate reliability

One law of social makeup is that a person must be reliable. It only means that you should do what you promised to do. If you are reliable, others will surely put their trust in you. People are not willing to deal with unreliable individuals but they always look for someone who is “a man of his word”. If you are a kind of person who knows the value of becoming a reliable, you understand how it feels to know that you are okay to others.

 The Advantages of Being a Reliable Person

Certainly, you want to deal with someone you can really count on. Inside a school, a teacher admires those students who practice reliability and those who always come to school on a timely manner and complete their homework and projects on or before the deadlines.

The main benefit of being a trustworthy is that people around you feel that you are the person they can rely on at all times. A reliable individual will be able to make new friends easily than someone who’s not careful when it comes to personal relationships & cannot be counted on to keep his or her word.

A student who is reliable is often asked by a teacher to handle a certain task and he or she is expected to complete that on time. He or she will reap rewards of praises and recognition right after he or she reported that the task is already completed. That student will feel happy and good because of that.

 If you are reliable, most people will admire you. This is primarily because reliability is a very admirable trait. Everybody dislikes dealing with those people who are not committed and true to what they say so being dependable is a trait you should develop as a student.

If you are reliable, you’ll get good reputation and you will be able to avoid dispute with someone which unreliable individuals often experience. You will experience a very wonderful feeling as you choose to be “a man or woman of his or her word”.

 So how will you be able to develop this trait? If you don’t know what’s the best thing to do then you must follow these steps:

 Steps to Follow on How to Become a “Man of Your Word”

• Make a plan. Ensure that you will start taking the easiest steps if you really want to keep your word.
• Be true to what you say that you’ll do. If you make promises, work with all your heart to do them for real. Always keep in your mind that you won’t be successful in life if you will not be able to do what you promised to someone or even to yourself.
• Keep a reminder. You have your latest model of phone that you can use to remind yourself about your plan. Why don’t you set a reminder in your precious phone? It will help you a lot.
• Provide yourself with time. If you need to go somewhere else, you should think of how long you have to travel so that you can get there. Make sure that all those things you need are already prepared. You must be apt in your time objectives.
• Avoid making excuses and don’t lie. If you find a hard time in keeping your word, don’t make excuses or pretend that you were able to make it though you failed actually.
• Learn to refuse. When you have some plans already, you should make more plans but focus on your existing ones.
• If you failed, don’t forget to apologize. Regardless of your reason why you failed to keep your word, still, you should apologize. It is okay if it happens as long as you know that you did everything just to be “a man or woman of your word”.
