TRUST

“It takes years to build up trust, and only seconds to destroy it”

“It is far better to be trusted and respected that it is to be liked.”


I FEEL.........

Trust is something that cannot be easily earned, yet something that can be easily squandered.

A trust take a long long time to build up, but once lost, is just like a broken mirror where perfect restoration is near impossible.

No wonder Bible says:

Ecc 7:1
“A good reputation is more valuable than the most expensive perfume.”

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If we want people to trust our word and our character, we should commit to the following:

  • Let our Yes be Yes, and No be No – where our word and action synchronize
  • Have INITIATIVE and GOOD STEWARDSHIP even for the slightest things especially our OWN HOUSEHOLD – even bible says we must be faithful with the little things.
  • Be Accountable – even to people our peers or younger, especially in circumstances where people have sacrificed or made greater contribution so that we could be better in every area.
  • Communicate your Thankfulness through words & actions – Just like how it pleases God when we give our praises to Him, it will be the same for us since we’re created in His glory.

Jane Addams:
Action indeed is the sole medium of expression for ethics.

John Locke:
I have always thought the actions of men the best interpreters of their thoughts.
