Trust

We often hear this word in one form or the other.. The word trust has several connotations. It may be a combination of emotional and a legal act. I am not going to give any gyan on Trust. And everyone of us have the trust understood in our own terms. There is always a golden rule associated with Trust - Be it creating a trust or building it or holding -'Do unto others as you would have them do unto you!'.

On that note, I am going to share a short story (I came across) - I mean really short. The story is between a father and a daughter.

Once, a father and his little daughter were crossing a bridge. The father was a bit scared and wanted to be safe and told to his daughter"Sweetheart, please hold my hand so that you don't fall in to the river".

The bright little daughter said, "No Daddy, you hold my hand".

The father was a little confused and wanted to know the reason behind his daughter's statement. "What is the difference?", he asked.

The girl said, "There is a big difference".

"How?" asked the father.

The daughter gave her view - "If I hold your hand, and something happens to me, chances are that I may let your hand go" and continued saying, "But, if you hold my hand, I know for sure that no matter what happens, you will never let my hand go!"

In any relationships, trust is the bedrock on which it is built. The essence of trust is not in its bind but in its bond!
