The importance of honouring one's promise
 
 
prom·ise    ( P )  Pronunciation Key  (prms)n.

A declaration assuring that one will or will not do something; a vow.
Something promised.
Indication of something favorable to come; expectation: a promise of spring in the air.
Indication of future excellence or success: a player of great promise. v. prom·ised, prom·is·ing, prom·is·es v. tr.

To commit oneself by a promise to do or give; pledge: left but promised to return.
To afford a basis for expecting: thunderclouds that promise rain. v. intr.

To make a declaration assuring that something will or will not be done.
To afford a basis for expectation: an enterprise that promises well.

 
Words should not lose their meanings.
Neither should actions betray what words espouses.
And of coz,
Words are way too cheap,
Actions should their mettle prove. 
Nuff said.
Oh, and i am waiting.....
In vain, i hope not.
In despondence, i wait not.
For with expectations,
Which a promise denotes,
Arises a possibility,
Of bitter disappointment.
I shall wait.
I am the pattern of all patience.
