“Promises are like crying babies in a theater they should be carried out at once”
— Norman Vincent Peale

Simplified Meaning:
When someone makes a promise, it is important to fulfill it right away, just like how you would quickly soothe a crying baby in a movie theater to avoid disturbing others. If you delay keeping a promise, it can cause problems or disappoint the person who trusted you. In real life, imagine if a friend promises to help you move but keeps postponing it. This can make you feel stressed and let down, just like how the crying baby can make everyone in the theater uncomfortable. To avoid this, it's best to act on your promises immediately, showing respect and reliability. By doing so, you build trust and maintain good relationships. So, just like you would quickly calm a crying baby, try to promptly fulfill any promises you make.
