To see a person's true colors, you only need to pay attention to two details. The first detail is how he treats those who are of no value to him. A truly cultured person does not change his attitude based on identity or status. You can observe how he treats waiters, cleaners, strangers, or those who make small mistakes. A stable, empathetic person will not be arrogant towards the weak, nor will he use contempt to cover up his own insecurities. True kindness is not something performed; it is an instinctive expression. The second detail is how he treats his commitments. A commitment is not just a spoken word; it is an inner contract. Being punctual for appointments, returning calls, and fulfilling arrangements—these seemingly insignificant little things are the true measures of whether a person is trustworthy.



When a promise cannot be fulfilled, does he bear responsibility? Does he sincerely explain? Or does he downplay it and push it off to someone else? A truly mature person takes responsibility for their broken promises. We are not looking for perfect people, but for honest ones. You can pay attention to whether a person always promises well but frequently breaks commitments; or if they are the kind of person who doesn't say much but always quietly gets things done. Those who can keep their promises in small matters are often reliable in critical moments as well. Of course, don't forget to reflect on yourself: have you fulfilled your promises to others and to yourself? Have you kept those internal commitments? Keeping promises is not just for others, but also a loyalty to oneself. These two details—how to treat 'useless people,' and how to treat promises—are like two mirrors that reflect each person's soul. True character is not showcased in moments of glory, but hidden in unnoticed details, seen day after day.
