We can all learn from “HONEST ABE!”

TRUST IS A MUST, but not easily obtained.

It is especially true in the present environment of lying and misinformation.

A relationship is not a relationship without trust.

RULE #1: You must tell the truth at all times. Even though the truth you must tell, is sometimes not something you are proud of. Simply put, a truth teller earns and maintains trust.

RULE #2: You must do what you say you’re going to do. You can’t tell someone you’re going to do something and then do the opposite.

RULE #3: Your actions speak louder than words. If people notice that you are a selfish person, they will always be wary of your motives.

Rule #4: You must speak and act consistently. You can’t be Dr. Jekyll today and Mr. Hyde tomorrow. Consistent behavior builds trust.

TRUST IS A MUST!

If not today, when?
