A Person’s Word

I always believe a persons word is as good as a bond, until proved otherwise of course. I heard from my new hired hand this evening, guess what. She is not taking the job. She got a better offer and is taking it. I told her I was glad she wasn't coming here because I believed her word that she was coming to work here and anybody that will turn back on their word like that is not somebody I want around.<br />n<br />nWhat ever happened to the time when a person's word meant something?<br />n<br />n<b>A man of integrity is a man of sterling character; one whose word is as good as his bond would not think of taking a minute of time that did not belong to him; a man honest with himself.
