Hello hivians, evening greetings from my location.
Today someone said something to me that made me smile. Sincerely I was not in the mood to smile but I saw myself smiling uncontrollably.
He said, I can give you my money to keep, because I trust you.
That one sentence is worth more than gold.
In this world we are living in, where many people are looking for who to cheat, being trustworthy is like a rare currency.
Not everybody has it.
Why I Believe Being Trustworthy Pays are;
Trust Opens Doors That Money Cannot Open.
There are jobs I have gotten not because I am the most qualified, but because someone said that guy is trustworthy. In my farm work, people give me land to use because they know I will not spoil it. In my area, people leave their children with me because they trust me.
Your Name Becomes Your CV.
Long ago when I was living and working in another man's area, I was just a stranger. I had nothing. But I was trustworthy. I did not steal. I did not lie. I kept my word. Today, years later, when I met my friend again, they still respected me because my trustworthiness remained in his memory.
Being Trustworthy Gives You Peace Of Mind.
When you are trustworthy, you sleep well at night.
You don't fear phone calls.
You don't hide when someone who knows you is passing.
You can walk with your head high.
What People Don't Understand in life is many think that being smart means cheating others. That if you don't cheat, you are a mugu.
But let me tell you the truth the cheat may gain small money today, but he loses big opportunities tomorrow.
Nobody wants to do business twice with a cheat.
But a trustworthy man, people will travel from far to come and find him.
They will say go to that man, he will not cheat you.
I have seen it in my farming business. Customers now call me from far places to supply, not because my farm produce is the biggest, but because they know if I say it is 10kg, it is truly 10kg.
My Advice
If you want to build a future, build trust.
Keep to your promise, even when it hurts you.
Return what is not yours, even when no one is watching.
Say the truth, even when lying would be easier.
At the end, being trustworthy pays more than any quick money you can make by cheating.
Trust is slow to build, but it is quick to destroy.
Guard it.

Have you ever gained something big just because someone trusted you?
