Reading your post over again, I wanted to note that the idea of trust as "reliability" is one of the least powerful forms--a shark is predictable, for example, as is a thief.<BR/><BR/>You highlight the higher forms of trust--vulnerability, the focus on the sense of intent, the things that speak to the relation between people. <BR/><BR/>I always thought Ronald Reagan's famous line "trust but verify" was bogus. If you had to verify, then to that extent you didn't trust. Trust without risk is an oxymoron.<BR/>Your post speaks eloquently to that point.<BR/><BR/>Again, congrats on inclusion in the Carnival, which your readers can visit (and see 9 other top-10 posts) at <BR/>http://goldenmarketing.typepad.com/weblog/2008/02/carnival-of-tru.html?cid=100139858#comments<BR/><BR/>Charles H.

Personally, I think competence is the breeding ground of confidence.<BR/><BR/>Here's a related post on self-esteem you might enjoy - http://thebookshare.blogspot.com/2007/09/how-to-build-self-esteem.html.J.D.

I now find myself asking who's got my back? ... and who's back do I have? ... and do I demonstrate it?<BR/><BR/>... Ironically, it's the under the radar stuff that seems to count more than what's right before our eyes -- once we know what to look for.J.D.

These have to do with whether I'm perceived as "safe," and whose agenda I'm working.<BR/>I love the "who's got your back, and whose back have you got?" idea; it speaks very much to who are you in it for, and for whom are you safe?<BR/>Very right, very powerful, good thoughts.<BR/>Charles H.
