I remember one sentence that impressed me deeply which written by Babylonian Talmud. He said: “A person should not promise to give a child something and then not give it. Because in that way the child learns to lie.” Yes, promises represents an idea that is simple and strong. But promises can often be small and meaningless. Still remember when we were little, we always made promises but finally couldn’t do it.
I’m not sure if there was anyone who read《The Promise》before. This article talked about a little girl—Sindu. When she was young, her mother always forced her to eat what she particularly detested—Curd Rice. However, her mother believed firmly in the “cooling effects” of Curd Rice. Once, Sindu clinched a deal with her father, her demand was: “Having her head shaved off.” Her mother thought that atrocious, subsequently. Her father agreed it. Her father said to his wife: “If we go back on our promise, she will never learn to honor her own.”

On a Monday morning, her father dropped her at her school, which struck him was the hairless head boy called Sindu. Suddenly, a woman got out of the car, without introducing herself. She said: “Sir, your daughter Sindu is great indeed, the boy with your daughter is my son, he is suffer from…leukemia. He lost all his hair due to the side effects of his chemotherapy. He refused to come back to school fearing cruel teasing of the schoolmate. Sindu visited him and promised that she will take care of the teasing issue. I never imagined she could do it.”
At that moment, her father stood transfixed and wept. He knew what love really was.
Make promises is simple, but achieve it is very difficult. Make promises count by putting your heart into it, and stick to it. The world will be filled up with warm and happiness. Remember—keep promises.
