【Simin 的转述】

Some people say that promises are to be broken. Aha. Although the kind of phenomenon is not strange in the cutthroat society, it goes against the traditional moral values. More importantly, if you always break out your promises, you will ruin your reputation and no one will trust you any longer . There is nothing worse than no one believe your words in the world.

In fact, it isn't so difficult to keep your promises.  Just remember never to say "I give you my words" to anyone when you cannot live up to the word, which is very important. In this case, you can say what you mean and mean what you say.
