2- Do you feel that to achieve the highest levels of success in anything it takes a certain level of “unreasonableness”?

DOES KEEPING YOUR WORD HELP THE WORLD?

Answer any of these 3
1-Do you believe that keeping your word helps the world?
2-How do you feel about that idea as a concept?
3-How do you define keeping your word?

EARLY POST OF MONDAYS ENTRY

Why am I posting early?
Clearly I am posting early before the time that I said I would. I am communicating as soon as I found out what was going to happen. I think often times this is a problem in keeping your word it is called “life happens”. I had an emergency that came up. Things like this I think can send bloggers off the net frustrated because life happens and then honoring what they said they would do goes out the window. Fortunately I have people like you that can “hold me accountable”. Even more fortunate I have parents that taught me to keep my word.

Feel free to post anything that relates to this post you will not be deleted because I disagree. Feel free to comment based on the other comments (try to be nice).

Am I going to change my posting preferences because I had to delete a post?
No

Why was there a deleted comment?
The post was not related to our topic and had a vulgar word in it.


After this entry the next entry will not be until Monday November 16th.

Charity, philanthropy, giving back or just personal development?

What do you think of 1 page gratitude letters being sent to friends and or family as a way of giving back?

Optional reading bellow

It would be nice if I could take full credit for this idea but I can not:

I was given this idea by a workaholic (he made over 10 million a year U.S.) guy that had a family that really supported him. Something seemed different they did not seem to support just because of the lifestyle… there seemed to be something more. He shared this with me 1 page gratitude letters are rarely given and they are always cherished and it connects people to you on a deep level that are already relatives. He would send them to his kids, wife and other family members and good friends so they would get them a week before Thanksgiving.

Even with my poor grammar and writing skills and mediocre penmanship people have thanked me over and over again even over a year later.

Optional question: How many people do you think actually have received full 1 page gratitude letters in their lives?
