Trust is like a vase, once it's broken, though you can fix it, the vase will never be the same again.
- Unknown, quoted by Jennie Graham, Glenalmond College

You want to be trusted?
That depends on your reputation and your reputation is the result of how others see you. Trust is slowly built on a firm foundation of humility, integrity, love, and charity. Building a good reputation can be similar to building a house. You begin with a basic foundation and build from that point.

If you take the time to think about what effects any action can have on your life and make your decisions based upon that awareness, you can earn a good reputation. It doesn't matter if you are rich or poor, a good reputation increases your chances of leading a life rich in meaning and happiness

This doesn't mean you will never make a mistake. Everyone makes mistakes. It is important, however, to admit your mistakes when you make them and to take what steps you can to correct them.

And remember, every moment of your life is spent with yourself. If you don't like and respect who you are, it can be extremely difficult for you to trust others. Work to build that good reputation. Money cannot buy it, but hard work can earn it.
