Is trust more valuable than money?

[bisdak40]

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?

Yeah I agree money can be earned back again but a broken trust is hard to gain again and also trust is important especially with connections because the more trusted you are there will be more word about you from people to other people where they recommend you because you are trusted it can build connections so trust with clients or people should be really cherished and not let them down.

To be successful in life you need people to trust you, the reason why people will come to you for business is because they know you can execute the business with them and they will get their own part of the money, if people don’t trust you and you have money it will be very difficult for you to increase that money because no body will be interested to do business with you, trust will open a lot of doors for you, their was a contract of supply that was given to me some months back and the person that connected me to that company told them I was trustworthy and the reason he told them that was because I have worked with him so many times and I have not disappointed him, trust is everything you need to be successful and highly connected in life.

To succeed in life, you need to prove your value.  Trust from others will come as a result, no one will trust you simply because you try to convince them.

People will do business with you because they see the value you can bring, not necessarily because they trust you. In business, profit alway comes first. They are willing to cooperate with you even if they do not completely trust you, as long as they see that the cooperation benefit both parties.

Trust may open the door, but it is the value and benefit you bring that sustain that relationship. Try offering a product that does not meet their standard. I think they will not want to do business with you anymore, even if you are honest.

In business, you have to build that trust first to grow your business. You can have money to start a business, but when you have trust issues, it can negatively affect the business so much that there will be delays in its growth.

However, when you are able to instill trust in clients and they believe in what you do, it allows the business to grow very quickly. Because of trust, someone might even decide to give you a product without a deposit because they know you to be a trusted person who will not run away with their money. I believe you can't do without trust, because this is what will ultimately bring more money to you.

This happens alot, some people may not understand how important trust is, there's no two ways about it, trust have a way of uplifting ones business.
It is just like giving your customers your words from the day they started patronizing you that you'll continue to keep to buying original goods, if you keep to your words, you will win their heart and there won't be any reason for them to go to any other store to buy things since they know that you sell the original ones, it will also make them to refer their friends and family to buy from you because of the trust they have in you.

For the fact that money can usually be earned again but then rebuilding trust takes time and consistent actions and even sometimes may not be fully possible, i think it is safe to say trust is more valuable especially how expensive trust is. I don't think trust is always lost forever though, like for people and businesses, trust can be regained through honesty, accountability and a genuine commitment to change.
At the end of the day, just like you said, money can create opportunities, but trust is what sustains them cause once people know they can rely on your word and your character, they are far more willing to keep doing business with you. In the long run, trust becomes one of your greatest assets and you have use it wisely.

OP I completely agree with you, there is no question of having two opinions here. Trust is something that once it is lost from someone, that trust can never be earned with money. And once the trust is broken, the full trust can never be placed on the one who is broken, so whatever is done, first of all, one should keep one's trust intact and one should not break trust with anyone. In terms of money, if it is said that money can be earned today or tomorrow, but it is never right to betray anyone for this money.

Okay so let's be realistic here can trust buy you a five bedroom mansion in a location that only the extremely rich can afford, no trust can't buy you that. Can trust pay your bills no trust can't pay your bills, can trust do anything money is supposed to do? Money is very important let's not downgrade the importance of money but also we need to appreciate the importance of a good character that encourages people to trust you. When people trust you, it becomes easy for you to make money and also when you have money it also becomes easy for people to trust you because people will trust the word of a rich person than that of a poor man so what I'm just trying to say is that they both are important but just to fulfil all righteousness and encourage good characters and behaviours.

A person character is indeed tested when they have a lot of money. Money only defines a person character. In today business world, it's very difficult to find trustworthy people. In fact, big bosses truly appreciate the loyalty of their subordinates they will give us money we never imagined if they are satisfied with our dedication. I once had an experience when a close friend of mine who previously had nothing but with the capital of honesty and perseverance that he had supported by a professional attitude and good ethics.

so that the big boss was very happy with his work and he got a very fast promotion his life has now changed to be very stable. So I concluded that currently trust is more important in building a career from the bottom rather than just talking about getting instant money.

Trust can put you into a better situation even if you have no money. For the desperate people, money is everything. But for a wise man, he understands that if he's trustworthy, that is the valuable thing that he has to protect for himself. Not only for survival but for an honor as a human being. It's hard to give trust to anybody and people are not easily trusting others, and so if it's given to you and you're respected. That's hard to take back unless you do something crazy that's hard to believe. I'd rather be trusted than earn money in illegal money.

You're extremely right, trust can earn you respect and sometimes if trust is broken it is hard to gain it again and it can take many opportunities away from you, because breaking one's trust can easily damage your image or reputation. Money is important so as trust. If someone trusts you, they can entrusted anything to you, and not just money. Money is actually very important in our lives, but earning money in an illegal way, can also bring destruction to one's life if care is not taken.

The truth is we can live life continuously even without building trust, as long as we have valuable amount of money.

But living a fulfilling life will be very impossible, but mostly we will end up with a life full of anxiety and isolation. And for sure, no one wants to experience that. It's still better if we can make friends with other people and build trust, even calibrated trust, we can trust them with simple things but we will never entrust them our deepest personal thoughts and feelings.

In essence, both are valuable to one man's life. But to achieve inner peace and happiness, trust should always be present.

Trust can be earned only once that's why i keep advice people to remain trustworthy and transparent with people because once the trust they have in you is broken it will be very difficult to earn it back. They decide to give you second chance by working with you, or continuing a relationship, but one thing is certain they will never trust you again.

Just as you said, someone can lose millions even billions in an investment and still get it back, provided the person did not give up. But once trust is broken you can't fully earn it back, your partner, your coworkers even your business partners may continue to associate with you, but they will never trust again because you broke the trust they had in you. Therefore, not everything can be fully replaced if broken and trust is one thing among the few that you can't restore if broken.

The idea of comparing trust to money is a very serious but generally depends on individuals involved in it at that particular point in time. But to all be it business men or not the first they most consider is the trust because excluding trust it will be very difficult for two to work as one, not that money is not important but without trust it can never be possible for people to work as one.
Although I can boldly say trust is the ultimate in all because if there is trust it can be very easy for a failed person to get back on track but if there is no trust even an already established person will find it difficult growing as it takes trust for two to work as one.

Everyone knows that trust is the most important thing that must be maintained to make it easier for someone to earn money in their own life. This means that trust is something so sacred that it should not be betrayed easily once someone has earned it, because it is from it that all careers and life journeys begin. Because the good and bad of each person's life is always determined by this sacred thing before moving on to other things like money and other assets. So, playing with someone's trust is almost like playing with yourself in this life.

People often trade something valuable to gain something else they consider valuable. In many cases, some people sell shady products or services while pretending to be trustworthy just to get customers of course their money. On the other hand, some people are willing to spend money to earn other people's trust so it all depends on the situation and which one is more valuable to that person, money or trust. I think earning someone's trust is much harder than earning money nowdays. As you said, once trust is broken it's very hard to get it back and even more expensive than we thought.

Comparing these two are like apples and oranges. It's true that you can't do a lot of things without trust, but you also can't do most things without money either. You're comparing them in terms of how easy they are to get back, but neither one is easy. Once trust is lost, it's extremely hard to earn it back. Money isn't much different. I don't know if you've ever lost a large amount of money, but replacing a big loss is much harder than replacing a small one. Sometimes you can spend a lifetime trying and still never recover what you lost. So I don't think this comparison really adds much to the discussion here.

Actually, the very money that your using right now is not wealth, but it is a "trust" wrapped in a tool so you can use it for your daily transactions.
That is the truth of modern economy, as we are way past barter system already.
You cannot use that same money outside your country, because majority of the people there don't trust it. So, you need to exchange/convert it first before it can be accepted.
Now, in terms of Bitcoin, its value rely on whether a lot of people trust its decentralized system and the math behind it. 
There you go, the answer to your question is very obvious. Though we use different examples, but it all points out to the same answer.
