Thought Tweet #844 Trust is gained in small increments, one understood-consistent action at a time.
The Thinking Behind The Tweet
Trust is lost in large lumps, one misunderstood-inconsistent action at a time.
So, the scale is weighted against you...or, is it weighted for you?
You can perceive it either way...it doesn't matter as long as you are objective about it and do not begrudge the reality of it.
When it comes to trust, the scale is weighted: it isn't just about your perceptions of your intentions and your actions; it's about other people's perceptions of your actions and your intentions; small understood-consistent actions build trust in small increments; small misunderstood-inconsistent actions destroy trust in large lumps.
PS: Trust: an interpersonal juxtaposition: so fragile, so essential, so egoic...Perceptions of Interests and Actions...laced with biases that are somehow and somewhy ingrained to protect egos. Trust: the fundamental human-to-human consideration.
