Commitment Quotes

“When your manager is conducting a meeting or conference call and presents an idea or goal, they’re looking for commitment to tackle the task. If you start listing all of the reasons why it won’t work or argue unimportant details, your boss will see your effort as adversarial. You become a roadblock preventing everyone in the group from moving forward.... If you have a small concern or issue you want heard, save it for a personal moment later.”
― Ronald Harris, Concepts of Managing: A Road Map for Avoiding Career Hazards

“Over 15 years ago we pledged our Sisterhood. And promised we would always be there for each other. Today, we renew that commitment. Diane continued. To accept each other with all our flaws. Give encouragement and hope support each other through the laughter and tears. To listen with an attentive ear and kick each other's butts into gear when needed. And to celebrate the beauty and joy of this bond. Forever. [...] This is not goodbye. Just see you later. Until we meet again. To friendship, sisterhood, and living life with no reservations.

Such self-belief would translate into high levels of confidence [... thus,] a self-fulling prophecy.

[...] You will continually try new things, even taking risks, confident in your ability to bounce back from failures and feeling destined to succeed.”
― Robert Greene, The Laws of Human Nature

"Divorced?"

"Once. A long time ago."
