Practicing Trustworthiness
People with good character are people we can trust. Trust is not automatic. Earning trust takes time, losing trust can happen quickly. Honesty, promise keeping, loyalty and integrity are four elements that are key to building trustworthiness. Use these guidelines for earning and maintaining trust.
- Tell the truth.
- Be sincere. Say what you mean and mean what you say. If you find something that doesn’t belong to you, return it.
- Keep your word.
- Be reliable.
- Return things you borrow.
- Keep private information private.
- Don’t gossip.
- Don’t ask a friend to do something wrong to keep your friendship.
- Stand up for and act on what you believe.
- Do the right thing no matter what you lose in the process.
Are you worthy of trust? Spend some time thinking about how trust is earned and why it is so important. Consider one of the following:
- Your teacher has miscalculated your test score giving you a higher grade than you deserve. What do you do?
- The teacher is in the hall and you need a pencil. There are pencils in the teacher’s desk drawer. What do you do?
- You did some work on your 4-H project but when the fair got closer and closer your mom finished the project for you. You go to conference judging and the judge asks you if you completed your project all by yourself? What do you say?
