Thought Tweet #831.5 Bad apples don't have to spoil your trust...don't let bad apples sour your trust in people.
The Thinking Behind The Tweet
Without trust relationships are shallow and weak.
Don't let people's actions sour your trust.
Start With Self. On top of all the self-things I have written over the years, I'm adding self-trust.
We judge others by their actions; we judge ourselves by our intentions. We blame situations for our failures: we blame other people for their failures. We give credit to ourselves when we succeed: we give credit to their situations when other people succeed. (Attribution Bias)
Those are our tendencies.
Let's not allow those tendencies to draw too much of our attention to the bad apples.
