Don't overcommit yourself

You know they say " it takes time & resources to build a stable reputation but it only takes few minutes to ruin it. So you should always be careful with that more especially when you have built your stable and interesting reputation because there is a lot at stake. You don't have to take any responsibility that your boss gives. As that will reflect on you not being trustworthy meanwhile it was not even on your schedule to do so.

So many people have been fired at work because of failing to deliver on their promises. It is good  thing to take a pledge on doing certain things when the boss ask. But you need to be careful on taking tasks that you know are beyond your abilities, because that of course will kill your reputation, credibility and accountability. Mostly do things that are expected of you in an outstanding way, so that whenever you are given a task that is not within your abilities everyone will understand that given task of your abilities you are able to do it in time.
