Trustworthy people most times are mistaken for fools. They are perceived as unsmart. Our world of today inhabits folks who cannot be trusted.
The world believes you must be “smart/untrustworthy to make it in life. It is now a normal believe that you have to be dubious if you won’t die a poor man.
These set of people will tell you there is no benefits in being trustworthy and they will even mock you when you try playing “unsmart”.
However, a case study on trustworthiness will help you know there are benefits to being trustworthy. Much more than you can think. Meanwhile, you should not choose to be trustworthy because of some benefits you think might be attached to it. Make it a part of your living. Something you do always.
When you gain people’s trust, they tend to love you and give you more responsibilities to handle. If you are dubious, it is certain you won’t get any other job from that individual you scammed and that individual may block your opportunities of getting jobs from others. He talks ill about you, and before you know it, it circulates and no one at all wants to give you any contract. You don’t even realize it.
The trustworthy man gets his clients to introduce him to more people who also connect him to others. This is just one benefit out of many.
I’m just using the “contactor” here as an example. In whatever you do, be trustworthy. It pays a lot.
