019 - Do You Trust Me?

“The most expensive thing in the world is trust, it can take years to earn and a matter of seconds to lose” — Unknown Trust  Trust is the mental model that societies use to judge one another. When trust breaks down at a societal level, chaos follows suit. Our modern society is built on a foundation of mutual trust; we entrust pilots with our lives when we board an airplane, cab drivers with getting us to our destinations safely and efficiently and rely upon the paychecks that arrive at the end of each month from our employers. Well-functioning trust systems can lead to great rewards. Trust is in many ways the most valuable, and yet undervalued, commodity. The alternative to trust is suspicion—if you don’t trust a person it means you have no confidence in them or their abilities; thus they are viewed as untrustworthy. In a world where distrust reigns supreme, the future is bleak. There is no reason to invest in things like infrastructure or education if no one will be around to benefit from them. Without trust and mutual cooperation, we’ll find ourselves living in anarchy. I'll be hosting FREE Live workshops, Fireworkshop.
