Integrity

I think it's important that if you make promises to people that you do your best to fulfill those promises.

For example, I promised my son that we would pay off his College Student Loans (IF) he actually got his Bachelor of Science Degree. He got his degree so we paid off his student loans.

However, he is about 15 years older than my next biological child and by the time we had the next two we had started college funds for them. So, neither of his sisters had to pay off Student loans either.

This is one way to have integrity with your children for example.

Don't make promises you aren't going to keep (unless life throws you a curve and you can't).

But, in the meantime I think it's important to move heaven and earth to fulfill your promises in life.

However, the other thing is be really sure when you make promises that you actually think you can fulfill those promises to begin with. 

Otherwise, your life could really become a mess.

But, if you can if you promise something have integrity so people realize you are a person of your word.

NOT like most politicians who mostly can never be trusted with anything ever.
