Think for a moment about what trust and respect mean to you.

  • Trust is expressed by a willingness to share ideas and feelings.
  • Respect is demonstrated by a willingness to listen to the ideas and feelings of others.

We must remember that trust and respect are key elements in any good relationship. Without trust and respect, human relations break down. Both trust and respect are reciprocal. That is, you earn respect and trust when you are willing to respect and trust others.
