Recommended: Trust and its effect on daily life

What is trust? Is trust essential for the way we live our everyday life? Trust is a quality or condition of being trustworthy; loyal; reliable. I think trust is an essential way of life because you cannot make a relationship, friendship, a business, or an organization if there is no foundation. Part of that foundation is trust and loyalty because you should be able to depend, rely, and trust others that they will do exactly what is right for them and you. Trust can be broken so quick, it is scary, because once trust is broken it is a lot harder to gain back then when you first gained trust in someone. This relates to my life because my trust with my dad was alerted going into my freshman year. As a kid I was always inspired by my parents’ relationship, because they knew how to make each other happy as well as making me and my two older sisters happy. Their relationship was a lot different than others, they never fought, they always put us kids first and dedicated their time to us. It was like this until I was going into my freshman year, my whole life changed. I was the only …show more content…

It made it n difficult to trust anyone, because I felt like if the trust I had with my dad could be broken so quickly so could my trust with anyone else. It made me realize how much a simple mistake can ruin something so good. I understand people make mistakes and I knew my dad felt bad but I just did not understand why someone would ever want to make someone lose their trust. I see trust as something you can’t live without. What is a relationship, friendship, a business, an origination without a foundation of trust and loyalty? It is absolutely nothing because those things cant and won’t work if you don’t have that foundation because there are evil people in this world and will manipulate you and go behind your back, while you think they are doing the complete

  • The Philosophy of Trust

    1026 Words  | 3 Pages

    Trust plays a vital role in the lives of humans as it is the pathway to founding and maintaining a good, morally mature society. Whether it is trusting another in team sports, friendship, or just for help and guidance, trust is able to increase the strength of the bond between any amount of people. Although we rely on our trust for another to see through to a desirable result, we are in fact risking what we are entrusting to another, and it is probable that our trust is taken advantage of and lead to betrayal. Why this is the cause and what action should be taken to minimise betrayal has been explored by many philosophers such as Plato, Thomas Hobbes and David Hume.

    Many people who I have encountered in my life despise how they are like their parents. Personally, I like being like my parents; it is one more bond that I share with them. When my mom and I get into disputes, she turns to my dad. My dad and I think and act so similarly that she hopes he can explain what I am thinking. Sometimes it works, other times it does not; because I am also her child. Having always identified as a “daddy’s girl,” it is not always true. Even though my mom and I sometime butt heads, we share many qualities. I am thankful that I am like them—not only in looks, but both of their strong personalities. They have made me the person I am today; and without that, who knows where I would be or who I would be.

  • Trust: Distrust And Betrayals

    1270 Words  | 3 Pages

    Trust can be essentially viewed as the basis for ALL relationships, especially ones built through collaboration and cooperation. It can take a bit of time before trust can be built as a result of distrust becoming a severe possibility of developing throughout this trust building as well. Distrust can be seen as a malevolent and deceptive force that can tear apart any relationship whether it can be between lovers, friends, or take place within families, teams, businesses, etc. Distrust can have quite the debilitating effect in which it can inflict damage through taking away the involved individuals’ energies, prevent them from focusing on imperative and meaningful issues that are necessary to be resolved, and most unfortunate of all, make each side believe that they are right, continually blaming one another for their wrongdoings, and an endless cycle of negative energy and hate becomes perpetual. In fact, that is where all conflicts stem from, each side believing what their doing is correct, just, and good. Distrust can be such a terrible

    Everyone is different; people have their own special quirks and qualities that make them individuals. These different qualities have different methods of gaining trust of others, for example, a very dear friend of mine is the type to shut his self away from the world in order to deal with heartache and pain. When he is in this state, he refuses to talk to anyone but those he trusts; many people are just like him, and with few people to turn to, he searches for me in order to seek solace in his time of need. This requires gaining the trust of another as the foundation of trust is needed for bonds like this to be irreplaceable. Another example is more about how I have been able to mend the trust of others with those who have accidentally or unintentionally ruined the trust with one another. This happens occasionally dues to miscommunication between both parties, the fix is a clarified version of what had happened, and what they meant to say or do instead of what actually happened. That is where they need a trusted and honest person to decipher what happened, and with the people, I surround myself with, I am the individual who is trustworthy enough to be there when they absolutely need someone. Being trustworthy is more than just gaining the trust of others; it involves being a caring individual and having

    What does trust mean to you? Do you trust everyone close to you, and the people you deal with day to day? The definition of Trust is “firm belief in the reliability, truth, ability, or strength of someone or something”. The definition of Trustworthiness is “able to be relied on as honest or truthful”.

  • Leadership Followership And Trust Essay

    1003 Words  | 3 Pages

    Organizational success is dependent on both leaders and followers. A strong leader “cannot expect others to follow; leaders must provide a good reason for others to follow” (Satterlee, 2013, p. 6). Similarly, effective followers “share a number of essential qualities, including intelligence and self-reliance”, and do not require constant attention or approval (Satterlee, 2013, p. 6). A necessary element in building the foundation for functioning relationships, trust is an “intangible intellectual asset, a skill, and an influencing power” for leaders and followers (Savolainen & Hakkinen, 2011, Abstract section, para. 1). This literature review considers the concepts of leadership, followership, and trust by examining how each is important to organizational leaders, as well as, strategies for implementing within an organization. “A good manager gets others to do what he/she wants them to do. A good leader gets others to want what he/she wants.”

  • Essay On Loyalty

    855 Words  | 2 Pages

    In today’s business setting, having an edge against rival companies can make or break you. Loyalty is that edge that will have your company profiting and the customers returning. Frederick Reichheld’s theory, The Loyalty Effect, is one of the most useful and needed business strategies. Without loyal employees within a company, your company is destined to fail. I consider myself a very loyal person, not only at my job, but in all aspects of life. I am a manager at Maui Nix Surf Shop and every part of the job is based on loyalty such as opening the store on time, cash deposits, or staying on task with overseeing the store. I plan on becoming a computer engineer and hopefully working for a company like Google or Apple. I love their business strategy and how they allow “free time” in the workplace. Loyalty is not just given from the employees to the company, the company must also treat the employees fairly and well enough that they want to perform above and beyond of what is expected from them.

    When people think of trust they don’t really think of all the times that they had a choice to trust someone and not forced to do it. As it says in the dictionary trust isn’t much of an action more of an emotion to choose what to do in certain situations. People have to trust strangers everyday but no with a choice just hoping that they are loyal and honest. People see trust as an emotion to people very close to them, but if people look outside of the box, there is more to trust than meets the eye.

    Trust is believing someone or something is reliable, honest, and effective. In any relationship the people in it need to have trust, so they can be assured that they can share anything with the other person. The movie from 1990 Goodfellas by Martin Scorsese is an example of people having to trust one another. The movie keeps me interested because it keeps you wondering who’s going to be next to be killed even though I have watched it multiple times. If the mob has a problem with you they will deal with you by killing you or your family on easier instances they’ll simply make you disappear. They don’t care if you have been loyal if they lose your trust.
