The Greatest Lesson Learned from Someone Else
Mar 20th, 2011 by Mehrad Karimzadegan
The greatest lesson I learned from someone else was to be a man of my word. I learned this valuable lesson from non other than my mother. She told me anyone can say anything and not follow up on their promises. That’s easy. A real man sticks to his word and acts accordingly. It does not take much to be an exceptionaly human being in this world and being who you say you are and doing what you say you will are the biggest determinants of a man’s character. This seems like a very common piece of advice but it is something that everyone overlooks and takes for granted. How many times have you told someone that you were going to call them tomorrow and you never did? How many times you made an appointment for 10:30 and showed up at 10:35? These are everyday examples that we have all either been a victim of or have been guilty ourselves of committing. A man of his word is a respected man and an exceptional man. So I pass this lesson on to you from my mother hoping that one day you will embrace it as one of your primary values or even words to live by on a daily basis.
