Trust is key when it comes to maintaining relationships. It is important because it allows us to rely on others, cooperate with them, and build strong relationships. Trust is fragile and is built from genuine conviction, that is why it is hard to recover it when it is lost. We earn or lose people’s trust because of our character and way of life. If you live a genuine and open life, people will regard you as trustworthy.
