Is trust more valuable than money?

[Findingnemo]

Yes, once trust is broken, it is difficult or even impossible to go back to where it was before. But trust is something that happens over a long period of mutual understanding, so it is not something that will get us the first sale. It is only possible with a lucrative marketing strategy for which we need money in our hands, and we may also need to hide some real truth.

Trust is more valuable than money for sure, but to make things happen, we need money first. To be a successful individual or goverment or company, they should know how to balance both while delivering what they promised.

You can earn back money but you will never be able to gain someone's trust back. For example you lose 5 thousand dollars in a bad deal. You can manage to get it back by one way or the other like working overtime or start again but if you lose someone's trust the doors might get shut forever. Reputation is a single street.

Money open the doors while trust keeps them open. You will be able to get your first meeting with an investor or partner while trust will give you repeat business and referrals. Money has the price while trust is the multiplier. Money is the tool but trust is the capital. What are your thoughts?

Trust is priceless. Think about that.

in theory, this is true but reality is more complicated
there are many wealthy people with questionable reputations, yet they are still treated differently simply because they have money and status.

the harsh truth about today's society is that money and status have a huge influence on how people view and treat others. Trust and moral character are important, but they are not always enough to earn respect from society.
the sad reality is that many people judge others based on wealth and social status rather than character and education.

This is a very good point. It's like people now only care about how much money you have, not how you got it. Perhaps it's partly because social media has led people to create influencers out of people who have pictures of mansions and luxury cars, and seeing that they own those things makes people automatically think they're someone they can trust, so they listen to their advice and buy whatever they promote.

I don't remember exactly who it was, but I recall that a few years ago they discovered that one of those influencers was renting everything he showed in his posts, but even then people continued to believe him even after it was proven to be a lie. Maybe it's because people aspire to have those kinds of things, and that's why they trust people with money more than people with knowledge

Yes trust is very valuable for anyone because it is long-term capital in doing business the more people believe the better and can take care of business in the long term it may be large scale but small scale such as borrowing and borrowing to friends or neighbors we are always reluctant to lend money to our neighbors if they do not pay the previous debt or slow to pay because it makes us upset, and it will be told to other friends that he is bad in financial terms that can make him lose the trust of not only one person.

I do believe trust will create a good relations between people in many aspects of life. We can’t ever buy trust, but we can earn the money. This doesn’t means we unable to earn trust, this is possible also, but it might take a little bit harder if you had a bad record with someone you dealt with who break your trust once.

Indeed I agreed that trust is the capital. We do business, we need to trust the works of our opposite partners right, once the trust Is broke, then we need to do a screening from the very beginning, and for me, rebuild trust with someone already break it is a bit hard, so better stop the business with them, otherwise we face something similar again.

People's goals for becoming rich can be different, as some people want to become rich for themselves because if a rich person has earned money in a lawful way, his life is very peaceful and comfortable, and some people also want to become rich so that they can get rid of debt and other problems. But the condition is that those who are good people have the intention of becoming rich and helping others. The condition for all these things is that your money should be lawful so that you feel pleasure in earning and spending it. But if you are earning money in other ways that are not permissible in Islam, then you will never be provided with peace and satisfaction, nor will there be any blessing in this money.

you engage in a business with someone, and you end up defrauding the person, the person lost his money, you have actually lost your trust on that person, and such person cannot even recommend anyone to you any longer. Though the money is lost , and he can recover it with time, but trust on such person is finally gone.
However, building trust, and having good reputation is more valuable than money.

This is true, but I would like to add one more thing. Trust is not built by a single good deed but by a series of small actions. But it only takes one mistake to lose it.  So in business, ruining a relationship for short-term gain is ultimately your own loss. Many times among two people with the same skills, people choose the person they can trust, because it is possible to earn money again but once a bad reputation is created, it takes a lot longer to change it.

In my place our people would always say that trust is a currency, and those words have over a long ages proven to be true for me in my line of mercantile relations.  For the trust that a customer has gotten on you as a result of how you were able to deliver quality sales service that satisfies their requirements, he/she wouldn't mind referring you to more other people, in so doing it widen your customer base and profit because I'm business referral plays a huge role in creating visibility around a wider market scope.

There is enough logic in your words. But if someone wants to do any kind of business or investment where there can be partners and many types of customers. There is no other way but to not trust. You have to trust someone. And you also have to accept and believe that someone can break trust, it is a very natural thing, because even if you want, you cannot control someone's mind. And the matter of trust is not that it works only on one side. If you do such work by yourself where the transparency, responsibility or promise of the business cannot be protected by yourself, then the partner will not invest in it later. If such an incident happens to the customers, then the customers will not buy that product later. For this, in addition to giving importance to making profit, you should also try to keep the trust strong and stable.

Most definitely, Trust is more valuable than money. Money can buy every good things of life, but can never buy trust no matter the amount you want to equate it to, money can not always restore trust. To earn trust is very difficult because it takes a very long period of time to build it with honesty and just one  act of being dishonest can break it. So it is very hard to build trust and at same time very easy to lose it.
In business, one needs to build a good reputation for his or her brand or company because customers tend to buy from brands they trust.

To build all of that, you first need money. More importantly, you need to believe in yourself before gradually building the trust of others. Building trust takes time and patience, and as you said, those are things that money can't buy. A brand that has earned people's trust will also have money.

For sure trust is really more valuable than money, because it takes a lot to build trust and it is also very easy to loose trust but when it comes to the context of building a good reputation for a business, you need money to build that trust. Companies need money to produce quality products to gain people’s attention and also good services by employing skilled and qualified staffs that will run the business to satisfy customers. They also need money to invest in their brand, standards and all this help build good reputation and trust, more especially when the company keeps to their standards and portray what they say they are.

From our discussion, it almost seems that you really can't be successful without money. When you start from scratch, people who aren't persistent won't succeed, and especially those who don't have any money. But there are still people who manage to make it. They earn people's trust, build strong connections, secure good advertising, and everything starts to fall into place. Where there is trust, money follows, and in the end, one simply cannot exist without the other.

You need to buold trust with your merchants and to customers not the same level of trust, they expect quality products and service nothing more than that and also in my opinion the loyalty of a customer ends when they get better discounts from any of your competitior which may look unfair but that is how the world works and we really can't expect them to stcik with us when they can get something cheaper, so on that case we should focus on reducing the price and try to keep them with us.

It is easy to regain lost money, but regaining a lost reputation is hard.

I agree, the integrity of a person is hard to be earned and that's why many are protecting theirs by simply being honest and true to what they are working with.

Trust is like a glass they say once it's broken, it can be fixed but the stain is already visible.

Money can be earned through any means that we know of but the trust that we've gained, once it's lost by the people we know. It's hard to take that back and rebuilding it will take time.

People are not the same and we have some species of humans that value money than their integrity. These people can do anything for money and they do not care about what could be the consequences of their actions.
Of these kid of humans that are greedy for money find themselves in political positions, they will do anything to make sure they embezzle huge amounts of money and making sure that it has no traces. Money has been what almost all humans are looking for get and that is why almost everyone is working to earn salaries and build businesses that will make them money.

Those people are hopeless if they're to continue what they have been doing. That's wrong if they are betting on their integrity just to get some money.

And they've grown up through that kind of living and it's only fate that can change their minds and what they do.

Forget about those people and focus only to yourself and be the kind of guy that everybody knew that you're trustworthy.

It is right to turn a blind eye on those people who sell their honor to money. Pay attention to self development and become a responsible individual. The asset of judging someone as a real or a fraud person is trust. Proceeding to build your own integrity can do much more good than address their fraudulent behavior.

Trust failure is almost never just about the person who broke it. When trust breaks down a business relationship the way you describe it, the question that comes to mind is "what did I see, when did I see it, what did I say to myself about it? Information was likely to be present. Ambiguities were classified as acceptable.

Again, this is not a blame the victim thing. There are deceitful and cunning people. But I think the deeper value in what you are saying about trust being capital is this: capital requires stewardship. You do not scatter it around in a careless manner. You do not give credit to accounts that have not shown reliability in a relationship, just because you want it to work out, or because you do not want to end it, or because you are too tired to start it anew.

what people don't know is that they don't understand how to build trust and they don't know that with a trust you can get advantages of everything that you want to have advantages on, so I want to let you know that anything that has to do with your trust is more important and with it you can be rich at any time, and someone can empower you also give you a contract that you cannot do because of trust, so whoever that is on this earth should I make sure that is being loved because of sincerity because when there is not sincerity Trust will not be there

There's a deeper reason why people do that and that's up to those people who does that to their honor in exchange for what they need.

The integrity of a person is important and more people that trust you, the more connection and network that you'll have.

That is what they have to realize and sooner or later, if they value still the trust of people then they'll have to change for their betterment.

when you then you think trust that exist between nations, it just shows how much it goes above emotional trust or one that is driven by mere past record. you want to  be trusted on international issues? you have to prove it beyond reasonable doubt that you are worth being trusted. a saying goes that he that demands faithfulness must first be found faithful on his own end.

As per human dealings, after a trust is broken, sometimes there are chances that are given to prove beyond some extent of reasonable doubt that such person is deserving of certain things but when a second level of trust is yet again broken, regardless how much things letter changes, every parties concern will continue to trade with caution or cut off completely. once can be tagged mistake but once it happens again, cut off and maintain a clear boundary.

Both money and trust are very important in life but you should remember one thing that money can do everything but trust cannot be earned. Trust is an important quality in the eyes of God which people can earn without money. You may have crores of rupees but if you are an untrustworthy person then having so much money is of no value. But you may not have money but if you are trustworthy among people then it is better than having crores of rupees. So it is not right to weigh trust and money on the same scale because one is much higher than money which can never be measured with money and the other is that even if you do not have money but if you have trust then you are more valuable than a millionaire.

In my opinion, we shouldn't judge trust and money by the same standard because they belong to two different categories. However, if we had to compare and say that trust is more important than money. I disagree.

I don't think being trusted by other is more important than having enough money to live. Trust cannot meet your basic need, but money can help you survive.

It seem you and many other believe that trust is more important than money. But do you genuinely believe that? If people had to choose between the two, I would not be surprised that most people would choose having enough money to live on first .

What are your thoughts?

I don't think anyone would have any reasonable different thoughts from yours, unless the person wants to buttress on your point, because it's the fact. Money can give you the feel of being rich, especially if the flow is coming from a source that seems guaranteed, but in the end, it could decieve you.

But valuable, this is the real wealth that could also afford you riches in addition. Just ensure that the valuables are such that could hold the test of time since not all valuables hold that long-term value.
