We’ve all heard the old saying, “A man is only as good as his word.” That’s not necessarily true, since you could be as good as your money, or your status, or your image or your skill-set. But that is all superficial stuff. Your word is directly linked to your honour and integrity, and without integrity, you’re not really a man. Without honour, you’re nobody: Just another human flicking around your society, breaking promises and making grand empty gestures. You’re a liar and a cheat, a small time value sucker of low character, best set to clean toilets, or sell cigarettes in prison. If you say you will do something, you do it. If you make a date or meeting for five o’clock, you arrive at four thirty. If you make a promise, you keep it. If you start a project, you finish it. Men of their word are known to be trusted, superior, and reliable. A man who breaks his word is known to be weak, unreliable, and inferior. Being a man of your word will allow you to rise above your station, to achieve great power, and mastery over others and yourself. It will grant you access to powerful people, and lift you to the realms of epic greatness. Not only should a man keep his word to others, but keep his word to himself.
