Have you ever heard the expression “you should always under promise and over deliver?”

Yes, me too, and it is a big joke.

In an ideal world, the intentions of “under promise and over deliver” are great – promise to do your job, and deliver more than expected. It will make everyone happy.

However, this is not an ideal world.

Many people promise to do less than their job, and deliver their job. They then claim, “I over delivered.” In reality, they just did their job.

Successful people do not need smoke and mirrors to appear successful. They do the right things, the right way. They make promises and keep them.

How do you feel about the expression “under promise and over deliver?”
