LIFE LESSON IN QUOTES - TRUST

 The A to Z series was left unfinished belying the trust of the readers. Therefore, the quality of trust is picked ahead of truth for the letter "T". Trust is a delicate and defining emotion. Many would have come across the expression - set a thief to catch a thief.  Henry L Simson gave a positive spin to it by stating as under:


The only way to make a man trustworthy is to trust him

Don Peppers gave another perspective to it by laying a new principle:

Being Trustworthy requires:
Doing the right thing 
 and
Doing things rights

Stephen Covey made Trust the foundation for any relationship in these words:

Trust is the glue of life.
It is the foundational principle that holds all relationships

John Pepper prescribed it as an antidote to fear in the following words:

Trust is the antidote that overcomes fear 
– and 
fear is the greatest inhibitor of all 
to a relationship that welcomes and nurtures new ideas

The charitable Warren Buffet placed trust on par with air while propounding:

Trust is like the air we breathe – 
when it’s present, nobody really notices; 
when it’s absent, everybody notices

It was Richard Fragerlin who hit the nail on the head by not making the cause or the process but the result in these words:

Trust isn’t what we do; it is what results from what we do.

Thus, what better way to regain the trust of readers than trusting them to overlook the long hibernation in posting on the A to Z series.
