Why do you say yes when you want to say no. Our problems start when while wanting to say No, we consciously end up in the affirmative by saying Yes.
Why it happens?
Is it because you don't want to annoy or upset the person to whom you wanted to say No?
Is it because you weren't sure of yourself? A timely correct answer expressing your willingness or unwilling to do or not to do a particular act can save you the embarrassment of not doing it ultimately and the unpleasant procrastinating of the issue can be avoided.
One should be slow in promising and quick in honouring the promises made. In excitement never make a promise. Reeling out promises with every breath may ultimately earn one the reputation of unreliable, untrustworthy and dubious personality.
There's good old saying that one can always make tall promises knowing fully well the he may not be called upon to fulfill it. Our innate potential should be greater than the promises we make.
Acronym of promise says it all.

P. Performances

Always be alert, agile and conscious in competently creating what you promised. An unfulfilled promise remains our shame throughout our life. Our image is made or marred by our ability to honour the promises we make.
A promise made is a debt unpaid. There's an African proverb which states " A promise is a cloud; fulfilment is rain" Never ever forget a promise made by you. One must have a good memory to be able to keep the promises that one makes.
