Good day,
After a long chat with my friend Dirk, who is running his own investment company, I have decided to add this category to my blog.
Why?
I believe that COMMITMENT is one of the central terms in my life. It is not only important for my business but also for my private life, my marriage, the relation to my son and my employees, my parents, friends; actually I can’t think of any topic that isn’t involved.
Let me share my favourite definition of ‘commitment’ with you, found in wordreference.com:
“…the act of binding yourself (intellectually or emotionally) to a course of action.”
I truly believe that ‘no commitment’ is one if not the major reason for the increasing rate of divorce. Just think of it for a minute. Once all the couples would take the sentence “till death do us part” as a commitment, we would hardly see any divorces. True?
This is how I look at things in general. You have to make up your mind whether you want to be wealthy or not.
If you say yes to your success, you have to say yes to extra work, yes to learn while the others might watch NBA, say yes to say no to your wife when she will ask for a night out although your weekly online course will be on.
Since each commitment can be one for the rest of your life, you better think twice before you enter into any new commitment.
Having said all this, here comes the question of the day: Have you made your commitments with yourself and the rest of the world?
For me it is the only chance to stay focused and to be balanced at the same time.
Do it and I am sure you find out the same for yourself.
Best regards from your deeply committed,
Volker
