Sit in the privacy of your bedroom, look into a mirror and ask yourself, “Can I be trusted?” If you are honest with yourself, you’ll be surprised at the answers you churn.
Trust, just like many other important virtues (such as faithfulness and honesty), is becoming hard to come by today. People of integrity (literally filled to the brim with ‘trustworthiness’) are few and far between in our present world.
Our homes and workplaces are full of such people: People who don’t give two hoots about keeping their part of the bargain.
But trust is a two-way traffic. For you to be trusted you have to trust first. There is nothing for nothing. You have to invest something for you to be able to withdraw.
At the workplace, trust your colleagues enough for them to trust you in return. It is as simple as that.
Wait. Not as simple as that!
For trust to blossom and produce fruit, there is some intense work that goes into the works. You have to change some of your prejudices and stereotypes (and, if need be, discard them).
For instance, it is almost impossible for people to trust you with their money, if you cannot trust them with yours. The mathematics just adds up in people’s heads and they decide whom to trust and whom to deny trust.
So, if you find that people find it hard to trust you, my remedy is simple: Try to see how much you trust others. You may be surprised that what you have all along been expecting from people is something you have not tried to invest in them.
Try trusting some people today and you’ll be doing yourself a service. More people will trust you.

Yes, i trust few people and they too trust me a lot.
Now my doubt is, can we all trust YOU? ;)
ye tats completely true its the same everywhere u can't expect anyone to just give. give and take relationship is best.
@Siva
Did you tried at your house. Tell me. I want to know. :D
Too many occurrences of the word 'Trust' , Duh.
Well, I trust someone and they prove me wrong and I feel bad. So, better don't trust anyone blindly. :D
Ofcourse, I trust you da shiva. :P
Trust, just like any other serious relationship, should be well-cultivated and manured. One is bound to receive a bumper harvest if one does this.
I completely disagree with this entry of yours. In my life trust is not possible, there have been too many occurrences and occasions whereby my trust in other people landed me into deeper trouble. The only one I trust is myself. I've been back stabbed countless times for me to be able to trust anyone else any longer. You name it, from the closest of friends to cousins...all had seized the opportunity to stab me in the back the moment I let my guard down. Not to mention the amount of times the supposedly 'friends' stole my work and pass it as theirs. FAR TOO MANY TIMES.
Only an gullible person would blatantly trust his friends with all of his things/secrets.
Life is about survival and putting too much trust on anyone else but yourself is not a wise thing to do. There should be a limit to as far as your trust for anyone should go.

trust in earned not requested. nice topic selerines!
This is a very interesting post. I say this because I found that recently I am a person who, in the past, has with-held information from my loved ones to protect them, and in turn have ended up hurting them instead.
Trust is a very tricky thing. I have always considered myself trustworthy, yet I find that I am not trusted.
This is something I have changed because I realize that it is a fault, even though it was done with good intentions.
