A trustful environment

Whether or not I trust someone depends on many factors, because trust is always a calculated risk from which I expect a positive outcome. Anyone who wants to build trust should be competent, well-intentioned and should have integrity.

Trust is based on the assumption that all actors adhere to the same rules and routines. If I want someone else to trust me, I have to know the rules and stick to them.

Trust is tied to specific people. Once I have gained the trust of another person through good experiences, they will trust me with other matters as well. Then we can achieve a good relationship.
