Are you quick to trust others? If you are, chances are you haven’t been
burned. By “burned”, I’m talking about having a bad experience with trusting
others. If you take someone into your confidence, and you trust him with a
secret, and he tells someone else that secret, and you find out. Well, you’ve
been burned. Say you have a kind of emotional scar. Since the relationship has
been hurt, in extreme cases you might even say the bridge has been burned
between you and your friend.
This happens to people lots of times. It even happened to me before. I
trusted a close friend with a secret, but he violated my trust and told someone
else. After I found out about what he did, our friendship was never the same
again. Well, I hope you haven’t had a lot of bad experiences when it comes to
trusting others. I also hope you have a lot of friends you can trust, and a lot
of friends that trust you. But I was thinking about gaining someone’s trust,
it’s not that easy like building a bridge or relationship. You make small
promises and keep them, and the trust grows. As the trust grows, you can make
bigger and bigger promises. And if you keep on keeping your word, well, the
trust keeps on growing.
Talk about it:
Have you ever been burned? Are you the type of person who rushes into a
trusting relationship? What kind of things do you do to show you are trust
worthy? Have you ever burned a bridge unintentionally, and found that it takes a
long, long time to repair the relationship? Are you good at keeping secrets? Do
people know that they can trust you? Do you believe that a man is as good as his
word? What can you do to earn a person’s trust? |
