Underpromise and Overdeliver. The only aspect of this recommendation that is more astounding than its simplicity is the rarity with which you find it implemented. Take this as gospel: Make announcements that you know you can achieve and then strive to do better. Many a revolution never got started because it was overhyped. Does this mean you should sandbag people? Absolutely. When you meet your commitments (which is the least you should do), people will be pleasantly surprised. When you exceed your commitments, people will be astounded. If you do nothing but fulfill your announcements, you might be considered a revolutionary for this reason alone.
LORD, who may dwell in your sanctuary? Who may live on your holy hill? He whose walk is blameless and who does what is righteous, who speaks the truth from his heart and has no slander on his tongue, who does his neighbor no wrong and casts no slur on his fellowman, who despises a vile man but honors those who fear the LORD, who keeps his oath even when it hurts, who lends his money without usury and does not accept a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things will never be shaken.
