    Great stuff yet again. A lot of these items seem so simple, yet I often forget to practice them, and I constantly need reminding. I especially like items 1 & 7. Number 1 is so basic, yet many do not adhere to this principle, and I agree that other things will be much easier when people know that you are an honest individual who keeps his word.

    You’re right about #1 being basic but it is so rare to find someone that adheres to it. People seem to always have good intentions but unconsciously commit to doing things without realizing what they have done. Or people don’t take their own word seriously and say things that they don’t mean. By not valuing their own word,they teach others to do the same.
