The big 5 letter word....TRUST

Trust, is a very serious part of life, especially in a relationship, with your spouse and or your friends, and also the workplace.



Everyone deals with trust each and everyday. Weather its to trust your car to last you to get to work and arrive safely or to trust the person next to you on the highway that he doesn't change lanes without seeing you, and to trust your friends to have your back when your out at night, or whatever it is, everyone deals with trust every single day. But there are many different types and levels of trust I feel. When your in a corporate world you have to trust you teammates just like Verzuh talks about, trusting your group team members. Personal trust and Professional trust.



Allot of people trust me, and that is because I can be trusted, I'm not saying that to be cool or to sound "cocky", but its true, I am just a generally nice, trust able guy. I am always there for the people I trust and for the people who trust me. It takes a while to get my trust tho, but once you have my trust, its all happy trails. But if you ever take advantage of my trust and lose my trust, they you probably wont be one of my friends anymore, depending on the matter. I am always around "trust" and so is everyone else. Being on an athletic team at a division I University, I have to trust my coaches that they are making the right decisions every day to make our team better and to get a championship. I have to trust my teammates during the game that they will follow the plays and trust them to do things correctly. And if I get hurt, I have to trust the Doctor that they have made the right prognosis, and trust my athletic trainers that they will take care of me and get me healthy as soon as possible. I have to trust my roommates that they respect my things and that they don't go through them when I am not there, just like they have to trust me. But to get someones trust you usually have to show them that your a true person, a friend, someone who makes the right decisions. But if your trust with some one is every broken, its just not worth trying anymore, once you step into that unwanted zone, you will never be trusted again, and are lucky if you are still friends. And in the corporate and business world, you have to trust on your employees, that they are doing what they are suppose to do and in the time frame they are given. And once you have someones trust, try not to lose it because trust is a very valuable thing in this world today.
