To increase the commitment of my message,
to be persuasive, engaging, confident,
so the advice goes,
words that water down my message,
words like "hopefully", "quite" and "I'll do my best";
negatives and baggage,
should be omitted.

This has me questioning then:
where does this put the phrase "... if God wills"?
Because,
acknowledging my weakness
and the bounds of my control,
carries the hint that I might not deliver,
and in the business world, it's promise that matters most...
