Commitment When you are interested in doing something, you only do it when it is convenient. When you are to something, you accept no excuses, only results. Lack of decisiveness has caused more failures than lack of intelligence or ability. - Kenneth Blanchard

Commitment!

Commitment Commitment is what transforms a promise into reality It is the words that speak boldly of your intentions. And the actions which speak louder than the words. It is making the time when there is none. Coming through time after time after time, year after year after year.. Commitment is the stuff character is made of: the power to change the face of things. It is the daily triumph of integrity over skepticism. Abraham Lincoln
