When people trust you, they put their faith in you and believe in you. Trust is the foundation of any human relationship—be it personal or business. I believe that trust is never given, it has to be earned. Trust yourself and others will trust you.
Film Director, Producer
Trust is a more selfless emotion than even love. It comes with no strings attached. It is seamless, and thus you can trust more than one person. In fact, to be trusted is a greater compliment than to be loved. Trust is not narcissistic and thus you can trust yourself. A man who does not trust himself can never trust another. Trust is instinctive, and each of us lives by our own instincts. Trust makes one secure: trust makes one feel safe. It takes years to build trust but seconds to destroy it… And it takes only suspicion, not proof to create a crack… In fact trust is like a mirror: once broken, you can never look at it the same again. With all the weariness about trust, we could end up never wanting to trust anyone, but though you may be deceived if you trust too much, you will live in torment unless you trust enough. It would be utopia if we lived in a world where we could trust one and all… We all dream of a perfect world, and as Khalil Gibran said, 'Trust in dreams, for in them is hidden the gate of eternity.'
