Excerpt

ALWAYS do as you say you will.

Make your commitments a priority, and you’ll earn something invaluable: trust. The ability to build and keep trust is worth more than anything else you can bring to the table. No skill, degree, or talent can replace reliability. Trust is the connective tissue between you and every important relationship in your life, including your parents, spouse, boss, coworkers, and friends.
