A handshake

Do you remember when you sealed a deal with a handshake?

When a person's word was worth more than a piece of paper with his name on it?

What changed?

Nothing I hope, a person's word should still mean something. In the end it is really all that matters.
Take pride in your word and your handshake.
Your reputation depends on it, and your reputation is everything.
You can't buy a reputation or fake your way through it.
You earn it..one day at a time..one deal at a time.

Word travels and a reputation is made or broken and my experiences have proven that once a person gets a bad reputation it spreads like wild fire and that person has to work twice as hard to turn it around.

Point being..keep your word- it is the one thing that will follow you your whole life.
