Building trust in life
You can find lots of articles on Building Trust in Business or websites, but what about building trust in life? Well trust in life is often overlooked and I do mean the trust between one person for another. This kind of trust has to be earned with deeds, actions and words. I personally am one of thous people that will trust you until you prove that you can’t be trusted. Ya ok, so everyone makes a mistake from time to time but if you lie to me or mislead me I will NEVER forget it. This is a flaw on my part, but what are you going to do thats just the way it is!
Example: Half truth- I’m going to the store for some milk. Translated to I’m going to get some milk on the way back from my friend house where I will be staying for two hours.
Example: Stretching the truth- You will only receive one or two emails a month from our website. Translates to We are going to sell your email address to every spammer we can and then we will send you so much junk mail that you better close your mail account before we flood it.
Example: Vague Truth- I will do my best to get it done. Translates to I will try and if it happens to accidentally get done than it’s all the better.
I try to earn and keep the trust of the people around me with words and deeds but this is often overlooked by others, that I do know. The above examples are but a few of the things that we deal with every day, but think little about. In my opinion we, as human animals, should devote more time to building trust and less time thinking about what others think about us. Next time you are listing to a friend or coworker tell a story, just think about how much of it is really true and how that makes you feel like you have been lied to!
I will always do me best to only email you on occasion when it;s important!
There is a lot of talk a bout the state of the environment and some are doing something about it. But I just have to ask it there half hearted efforts are for the good of the planet or just an attempt to keep up with the PC (Politically Correct ) people. It just amazes me that there are those that put up a few solar panels and cry at the top of there lungs about how they are going to save the environment single handed but they wont give up their SUV. Yes that’s right they drive around with one person in the car choking down gas like its their right just because they recycle or something.
Before I get into a rant, I would like to say that YES, I do drive a 4 wheel drive pick up, but very seldom is it just me,it’s all I have. I do recycle, but not as much as I should, I am trying to do what I can with what I have. The key here is that you would never know that I do anything because I’m quiet about it. I guess that as long as people are doing something that’s all the really matters, but can they keep their mouths shut about it. I get so tired of any one that has an attitude of superiority, especially if it something of such importance.
Nothing pisses me off faster than posers of any kind, I see a lot of them when I ride my scooter ( motor cycle ) you know the type, they ride only when the weather is between 70 – 80 degrees with dry pavement and they call them selves bikers. Well I have some news for you I ride all year long and I’m not a biker!
I guess what I’m trying to say is Posers beware I see you and I know who you are.
