TGIF

By: Michelle 

I know, I know! I have not been on all week! I am so sorry all, but it was important that I took a short break to get my life under control! I had two term papers due, and I was finally able to repair myself a little after being sick for three weeks! Unfortunately, I have been in serious physical pain. I called my doctor and she is pretty convinced that I have either broken or cracked one of my ribs, but she said that it is useless to go in for an X-ray because there is nothing they can do for any of it...  Another 6-8 weeks of recovery for me! Yay... Anyways, I promise I will be posting at least once a day in the future, so stay tuned!

On this TGIF, I have decided to talk about sticking to your word. I have been feeling guilty due to my lack of allegiance to my blog lately, and so I want to put myself back in check. If you have made a promise or have taken responsibility for something or someone, than it is so important that you stick with it, and if you have taken on too much, you must explain yourself before things get too far out of hand. Know your limits, and know when it is time to kindly start saying "no." Your reputation depends on your character, and if people think that they cannot trust you to complete the tasks you have signed up for, then your reputation becomes more and more tarnished with time. I depend highly on my reputation as a person with good values and character, and I do not want that to suffer because I have taken on more than I can handle. People will appreciate the fact that you do not have time to do something way more than they will if you end up blowing a task off because you do not have time! In the words of Publilius Syrus,  "A good reputation is more valuable than money."
