Believe the best of everyone but let your expectations be realistic.
Expect people to do wrong. With that, you won't be too disappointed when they actually do wrong. To esteem and trust someone to the point that you can't imagine them making mistakes or acting strange is to put yourself in a position where you will feel heart broken. Have little expectations from people. Having too much expectations is too costly. Trust people but prepare for the worst case scenario.
The only perfect being is GOD
Trust someone but trust with the mindset that your trust can be broken anytime, any day because you are dealing with people even if they are tongue talking.
This is far different from insecurities or suspecting everyone. No it's not.
It's just to have realistic expectations when dealing with people.
You cannot trust yourself fully let alone place your 100% trust on someone else. This is true in the sense that you can fall victim to temptation of bribery, corruption and malpractice in your field of endeavor. All over the globe, we have heard and read stories of popular figures who were betrayed by their close friends and families.
Jesus trusted his disciples (even Judas Iscariot) else Jesus wouldn't have made him the treasurer yet he was prepared for the betrayal. He trusted Peter but he wasn't shocked when Peter denied him three times. Brutus betrayed caesar, to mention but only a few.
This also pretty much applies to our dear online business world; Cryptocurrency trading, Forex trading, affiliate marketing, blogging etc. the overall understanding of this is that, so many platforms betrays its users.
These users in question have invested their time and efforts and usually money in to the platforms only for the owners of such platforms to wake up one morning and shut down the platform and abscond with investors' large fund. in this case, what we call it is SCAM. I usually call it "breach of trust".
The investors placed their trust on your platform, hoping to make some nice profits passively thereby eliminating poverty, but you shattered his/her trust. the cases of breach of trust or scam usually don't go down well with most people as they succumb to the pain and end up taking their own life.
Perhaps, things would've been different had it mean they didn't trust the platforms totally. that's why i love read.cash, they have earlier warned that we shouldn't leave huge amount of our bitcoin cash our account because anything could happen. That in itself is what I call transparency and honest business practice. God bless them.
There you have it, as you go about your daily activities/dealings with people, please remember: Believe the best of everyone but let your expectations be realistic.
I hope you get value from this
Thanks for reading!
See you on the next one!
