Today‘s post was inspired by Capgemini colleagues in the Yammerland, about trust and being trustworthy. So, I could not resist and I have asked, I mean Tweeted the following question:
"How will someone gain trust? When do you start to trust someone?"
Twitter fellows, had to shrink their replies into 140 characters.
@Fifigyuri:
The act of helping either me or anyone increases trust. Helping, acts of altruism make trusting.

1st Tweet: When they are right in their aired opinions MOST of the times and admit when they were not.
2nd Tweet: When they say what they do and do what they have said.
Facebook buddies, Lars from Denmark and Gabika my ex-classmate from University have exchanged interesting thoughts as well, captured below.

Trust can only be a question of knowing who you are in depth. An old saying: "that one who knows him/ herself knows the universe itself." Awakening paves the way to trust and talking about relationships between individuals communication is inevitable in the process....

Very true what Lars said however how many people can even trust themselves? Trust carries a bit of naivity but one could go crazy not sharing. The answer is: Trust only a bit and be vigilant. In general, trust comes when somebody repeatedly proved to be relied on.

Yes, you got a point Gabriela! If one cannot trust himself how can he trust others? The key is awakening and until you are not quite awake you are asleep and will be misguided as a part of your learning-process.
Folks, thank you for sharing your insights with me and now with the rest of the world as well!
It is amazing how much one can learn, just by asking a question on Twitter/Facebook. Super cool!
Another great lesson!
So, let's learn and grow together!
Cheers,
