Commitment does not mean sticking to something when a person has no choice. It means sticking in spite of choices.

Commitment is as simple as giving and keeping your word. Doing your best.

Commitment is doing what you said you would do-whether or not you feel like today.

Foundation of commitment is integrity, character and empathy.

If you fail in a commitment, take another look at it and ask yourself, Did

I quit too soon?

Integrity is keeping our commitment even if we lose money and wisdom is not make such foolish commitments.

Keeping the commitment shows that you respect your own decision.

Make a commitment and stay committed.

Mostly people are interested rather than commited.                   – Ken Blanchard

Not keeping commitments amounts to dishonest behavior.

Nothing happens without commitment.

Nothing lasting has ever been created without commitment.

Relationships don’t last because of passion and love but because of commitment and empathy.

People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is light from within.                                                              – Elizabeth Kubler Ross

Team is group of people who may not be equal in qualification, position or talent but are equal in commitment.

The only job security you have today is your commitment to continuous personal improvement.

Those who are most slow in making a promise are the most faithful in filling it.

Use your imagination to visualize consequence before making a commitment then stick to it.                                                                         – Hemant C. Lodha

When promises are not kept, close friends are lost.                – Brahma Kumaris

 

The story of Elephant

            There was once an elephant who wanted to be a photographer. How his friends would laugh when they heard him talk about it!

“How silly,” said some, “there aren’t any cameras for elephants!”

“What a waste of time,” others would say, “there’s nothing to photograph here anyway,,,”

But the elephant was committed his dream, and, piece by piece, he managed to cobble together some old bits of junk and some spare parts, and ended up with a camera of sorts. With this camera, the elephant had to design practically everything himself, from a button he pressed with the end of his trunk, to a lens made to fit an elephant’s eye, to a load of wrought iron used to make a frame so the elephant could attach the camera to his head.

When it was all finished, he could finally get to take his first photos. However, the elephant camera was so enormous and strangelooking that it seemed like some huge ridiculous mask. So many people laughed as he went by that the elephant began to think of abandoning his dream… Even worse, it was beginning to look like those who had said there was nothing to photograph there had been right…

But things worked out differently. The sight of the elephant walking about with the camera on his head was so funny that no one could help but laugh when they saw him. And, using a great deal of good humor, the elephant managed to take some really amusing, incredible pictures of all the animals. In his photos they always looked joyful; even the moody rhino! So the elephant managed to become the official savannah photographer, and animals would come from every direction to have some nice photos taken for their passport to the zoo.

 

Moral of the Story:

Success comes as a result of commitment and constant effort.

 

I am only one,

But still I am one.

I cannot do everything,

But still I can do something.

And because I cannot do everything

I will not refuse to do

The something that I can do.
