I am not going to take credit for this title. It actually came from my publisher’s note on the humanitarian magazine that I am working with. His thoughts mirror mine and I thought I would get this off my chest and put it in my perspective. In this journey that I have been going through in terms of putting up my website and blog to help, educate and inspire seniors, I have come across my share of disappointments over people and organisations who promise to support me but when push comes to shove, they are no where in sight! Things are already tough and they don’t have be made even tougher. If you can’t deliver on your promise, then just say you can’t. Your honesty would be respected … but don’t give lip-service because it is what the other person wants to hear. The funniest thing about all this is the things that I am asking people on their support are so minor (not even monetary support) and they don’t take two months either to decide! When you say you can and don’t, it is totally frustrating for the recipient as they needed that support. In the first place, why would they ask if they didn’t need it!!! I believe you get to see a person’s true character and in the end of the day, maybe it is better not to be working with people who have such half-ass commitment.

In saying this though, I have on the other hand gotten some fantastic support from people and organisations that I never thought would support me. These people have gone the extra mile and believe in me and the work I am doing and I can’t be more grateful. A big thanks to those people. You know who you are! You have given me renewed hope that there are people still left in this world who do honour their good intentions.
