The promises to yourself

Challenges at work are everyday routine: do better, create more creatively, earn more, etc.

Challenging yourself is another matter because when you promise something to yourself, it is a great shame to give up. Because disappointing yourself is a much more terrible thing than disappointing others.

Here is no secret, after all, probably, we all have been feeling bad when we haven’t managed to make what we promised to ourselves. That’s why I stopped making any promises to myself in life. I just do my best and it’s enough for me.
