Trust
- Reliance on and confidence in the truth, worth, reliability, etc., of a person or thing.
Trust is often conceptualized as being able to rely on a person’s word that they will do what they say they will do. Perhaps a more useful approach is to trust in one’s own observation of what a person will or will not do,
and then move from there. Admittedly a less warm-and-fuzzy interpretation, but certainly one that can stand with more surety. Then, if you find someone’s whose word matches their actions, you’re golden. Following are excellent illustrations of people placing their trust in words they hear vs. behaviors they observe ~ perhaps warranted, then again perhaps not so much…

Libra, INTP, English Major, 
Back from a seriously scary health relapse in mid-October and returning to action. Kudos to my patient friends and colleagues, you're the best. New programs and more unrolling this year, here's to 2012!
