Shocking Realization: Trust

I know, I know. I wasn't been able to keep this up for months! Just got busy with my new career on which I'm actually trying to figure out how I can be much better with. I've been studying much, learning stuff, meeting people and attending trainings and webinars and things like that.

So what really made me get back to this blog is because of this shocking realization that I experienced which happened to be one of the biggest that I've had. And yes, it's about TRUST.



Just to update you, I already quit the corporate world and like as what I told one of my Twitter follower/new friend, I'm now venturing into a new field of marketing. Something that deals with advertising, franchising and people as well. But then I later on shifted on making social media my course and choosing Facebook as my major.

I've been doing this self-study about the evolving Facebook for 2 months now. I've been learning a lot and already applied most of them. I began reading lots of researches, white pages, experiments, articles, blogs and watching lots of videos as well to find out how I can use social media, particularly Facebook, to my full advantage. And since I just got started, results are yet to come.

So how did I encountered this great realization about trust? I happened to stumble upon this anime, C: The Money of Soul and Possibility Control, well I think you already know that it's actually one of my few hobbies. This anime just got a lot to offer, teaching us about money, life and future particularly. Each episode really has something to ponder on which gives a lot of sense only if you are really serious about this matter. And then its 8th episode went out which really brought me into a huge shocking realization.

People often misunderstands me but what I want isn't money. It's trust.

If you have trust, you can get whatever amount of money you want.

Why is it that you buy my information?

Because it's necessary.

And the reason that you didn't doubt that information is why?

Because I was introduced to you by [this certain someone].

That is trust.

Trust begets money.

That is why I want to attain the power to make people trust me.

The reason I'm gathering money is because people trust in money.

Then what do you think about borrowing money with one's future as collateral?

To me, it is a very simple thing.

The future... money... which is it that you can trust?

This conversation between the two characters really hit me hard. It was then been followed by a deeper conversation about people's interpretation on money's worth. My view in regards to the value of money from then and now became even clearer. Money gained from trust has the biggest value. I really don't expect you to understand this much but I just really need to let this off my mind.

By building and gaining trust, you will receive an equivalent amount of money. And the amount of money doesn't just depend on its amount alone but also in the amount of trust that you developed. Money is just a paper with a written value on it that makes it important but what makes it even valuable is actually trust. Even if you put your money on fire, trust won't burn out.

Knowing all this and taking it into heart, I can say that money can really dictate what life you can get but still it is trust that will define what your future really holds.

I really don't know if this is easy to comprehend or might be because you are not yet in this kind of situation that I am now or maybe because understanding also requires experience. But it would always be great if you could really understand what I am really feeling now. What I will become in the coming years are not just because of my own efforts and reasons but it will mostly be consisted by the biggest trust that I will be developing with a lot of people.
