saying easy, but keeping a word isn't.

I had experience that keeping a word or promise is really important and hard. Last October or November, I promised that I would treat Korean delicious food to my neighbors and American friend. Sharing something is one of great happiness in our life. Now, I am learning Enlglish here as a foreign student, also I would like to introduce Korea's beautiful cultures to somebody who I could meet. To me , some Korean foods are easy to make, because I have cooked many times since I have been here. One day, I had conversation with my neighbors, we talked diverse topics, also we found that we all of us love to eat home made foods. At that time, I wanted to cook Korean food, which I never had made, to eat together. So I said them that I would like to treat you Korean food. They really interested in my words. After preparing materials, I could cook it well. A few days later, I met my American friend, Julie. We talked about our daily life and other things too. With glad mind , without thinking, I told her that I would like to cook for you. After getting back home, I realized that I had to do lots of assignments; however, I did not want to broke my words. So I made food again. In my memory, the period was not so good, because I had to keep my words and assignments together. Sometimes, I am so tired because I have to keep my words surely. Before saying or promising, we must consider about if we really can do it withoout concerns. ^-^ Now, I am thinking about what I promised.

Yes, I agree with you. Keeping words is harder than saying them.

Absolutely, I agree with you in the sense that our word is our one of most valuable belongings so we have to make as respectable as we can...

Keeping words is really important in every situation. We can say anything, but we have to choose reasonable words.:)

This is true a fact!
It is really hard to keep our promises but we have to make them true at the end.

You have shared a good example of how it can be hard sometimes to keep a promise. You are very kind and a woman of integrity.
