Reliable is the reliability in which a person or a system to perform and maintain its routine circumstances, as well as in hostile and unexpected circumstances.
In dictionary definition, reliable and dependable is related words but I myself have different meaning and understanding of this two completely different words.
Reliability is the basis of dependability, without reliability, there is no use even if a person or a system is dependable.
It is the basis and fundamentals of able to perform what is expected of him/her in the situation and environment a person is situated in.
Simply put it this way, it is to do the right thing without mistakes, do it right and repeat the same thing like a well run system like a routine manner.
Should something out of the unexpected surface, the person or system should be able to rectify and solve the problem on hand without much difficulty and that is what I understand of being a reliable person.
Common examples will be in a typical employment setting whereby each of us will just do what is expected of us, do not do anything more and anything less.
Doing anything more means you are poking your nose into other people’s business which means you want to increase your workload without pay increment.
Doing anything less means you are underperforming and putting yourself at risk of being place on the slaughtering platter and getting yourself either fired by the boss or you fire the boss either way works.
In short being a reliable person to me means to do what is expected of you, yourself and doing it within your limits and ability.
