"Do place you your fate in people"- advice given to me
By nature I have fate in people. I hope for the best. Often people will ride high and will have my fate.
However, eventually people let me down. Maybe this is simply human nature.
I need to be clear. I am not looking for perfection. People are people. If they were perfect they would be god like. Since we are not god, I am looking for consistancy. If you say you are going to do X then simply do X. Don't overpromise and underdeliver.
This is something I have recently been dealing with on vendor side and on people side. Many companies while dating will promise you the world that they can do X but sometimes even before they start will pull back from X. So do you continue the dance? Sometimes you do not have a choice. Unfortunately, with vendors you might not have the flexibility to stop dating because the job needs to be done and contracts have been signed.
But what do you do when people disappoint you? Do you just simply give them another chance or do you drop them out of your life? I have done both. In my opinion the smartest thing to do is to over time limit the access to inconsistant people.
Today's question is:
"How do you deal with people that can not keep their word?"
