How To Build Trust in Relationships


Firstly let us understand what Trust is.
Trust is the permanent certainty and confident expectation from someone for something. Lack of trust might lead to shattered relations so Trust is the most critical ingredient for strong relationship; the relation which can either be between Husband-Wife, Boss-Employee, Father-Son, Brother-Sister, Supplier-Customer and so on.

Here are some recommended 'behaviors' which you need to demonstrate in order to develop trust.
1- Being Responsible: ensure you are performing your day-to-day responsibilities and meeting the short-term and long term expectations by your dependents.
2- Listen, Listen, Listen, Listen: God has given you two ears and one tongue so you listen more and speak less. Effective Listening is a skill; develop this habit. Google it today and learn.
3- Being Truthful: Be honest and fair. Don't deceive someone. Remember the fact that building trust is tough but it takes seconds to have scratches-in-the-jewel which usually is very hard to recover.
4- Keeping Promises: your promise is your commitment with someone to do something, so don't break at any cost. In case you couldn't meet your promise, there is always a door for dialogue for re-consideration of things. In case of dialogues be fair, be truthful and be open. Confess the short comings on your end.
5- Consistent Behavior: the ever changing attitude is an indication of your non-predictive personality which is an anti-trust drive. So be consistent in what you speak and what you do.

6- Apologizing Behavior: Sorry is the best medicine in healing relationship complications.

In fact, Sorry and Thanks are the two golden words

Last Summer Days

The summer is about to be over, just a few more weeks before the rainy days of the autumn. Last weekend I was invited to a bachelorette's party at the seaside, a great occasion to enjoy the last sunny days.
We woke up very early in the morning, got huge cups of coffee and we were almost there when the sun came up:

 

It was very relaxing spending all day long at the beach:

 
 
 
 
 

and every now and then going for a cold frapee or a beer at the beach bar:

 
 

We took a walk to the old town of Nessebar. I didn't take many photos, as I've been there many times before.

 
 
 
 

There was a dress code for the party - white :D

 

It was a great time, we should remember it the next time when some of my friends is getting married :)

Great Expecations

I've read this book twice. Once when I was a little girl and all I remembered was the pretty Estella. Now I read the book again to remember what was the story of this pretty girl and I can see that there's much more to remeber.

“Heaven knows we need never be ashamed of our tears, for they are rain upon the blinding dust of earth, overlying our hard hearts. I was better after I had cried, than before--more sorry, more aware of my own ingratitude, more gentle.” 

“Suffering has been stronger than all other teaching, and has taught me to understand what your heart used to be. I have been bent and broken, but - I hope - into a better shape.” 

“In a word, I was too cowardly to do what I knew to be right, as I had been too cowardly to avoid doing what I knew to be wrong.” 

“There was a long hard time when I kept far from me the remembrance of what I had thrown away when I was quite ignorant of its worth.” 

“So throughout life, our worst weaknesses and meannesses are usually committed for the sake of the people whom we most despise.” 

“Spring is the time of year when it is summer in the sun and winter in the shade.” 

“I must be taken as I have been made. The success is not mine, the failure is not mine, but the two together make me.” 

“I am what you designed me to be.I am your blade. You cannot now complain if you also feel the hurt” 

“Ask no questions, and you'll be told no lies.”

How science is trying to avoid death

"Through the Wormhole" is one of my favorite science tv program. It shows complicated things in an easy and understandable way.
Here's one of the latest episodes I've seen. It doesn't look like the science will really be able to take people back from their final destination, however the researches and experiments shown are very interesting.
