Doro Explorero's Quest to Travel Around The World

In this world who experienced a lot of distrust, with people who in one way or another been a victim of betrayal, of fraud, of scam, of misbehavior, trust has become scarce, and it seems that it has become a "hard currency", it's rare to find. Even some of the people you call "friends" don't trust you that much, even your family members, your mom, your dad, your daughter, your son, your siblings. It seems that trust has joined "honesty" on being labeled by the song "such a lonely word". Trust, has been the currency that every people wants to keep and don't want to spend. And the world has suffered the problems caused by the non-ciculation of "trust" currency.  For some people, they'd give you some trust but would ask you to pay for more. For some people they just choose to keep trust to themselves, and live their long-boring-lives with distrust. For some people, they trust blindly, thinking they have already been t...

So how do we know who to trust? How can we operate with high trust in a low-trust world without getting burned? And how can we extend trust wisely to people when not everyone can be trusted? Before we share a framework for thinking about these questions, let's look at a few companies that seem to have figured it out. When Meg Whitman joined eBay as CEO in 1998, she said the reason was because she was "blown away by the power of trust." The company was founded by the French-born Iranian-American entrepreneur Pierre Omidyar, and from the beginning, it quickly became wildly successful. Today the company has a market capitalization in excess of $35 billion, with 235 million registered users (buyers and sellers) engaging in more than 1 million transactions a day. So how has eBay managed to become so successful, especially considering the "success" involves millions of transactions each year between people around the globe who don't even know each other?...

You've likely been scripted, conditioned, and/or experienced into primarily one set of glasses or the other. Whichever glasses you wear tend to magnify the evidence that fits your paradigm and filter out the evidence that doesn't, and they significant affect the degree of prosperity, energy, and joy in your life. Keep in mind that the differentiation is not all or nothing, black or white. You may be wearing a strong prescription or a mild one. You may switch back and forth. You may even be wearing bifocals, so to speak - looking at your professional relationships with distrust  and your personal relationships with blind trust or vice versa. Or you may view your family with blind trust  and people dating your daughter with distrust. The point is that whatever glasses you're wearing at any of your time are affecting the way you see the world - and as a result the quality of your life and your ability to enjoy relationships with others and work with them to accomplish meani...

Far more than blind trust , we tend to put on glasses of distrust. We view the world through the lens of suspicion - and with what we feel is good reason. We're bombarded daily with headlines that repeat evidence of today's trust crisis from every possible angle. In addition, our own experience validates it. Stephen: I remember a time years ago when I was traveling with my parents. We visited a less developed country that was known to be corrupt. We hired a driver we thought we could trust to take us several places, and we left a number of watches and other gifts we had purchased in our bags locked in the trunk of his car while we ded some sightseeing. When we returned, we checked inside our bags to make sure the boxes were all there. They were. But when we got back to the U.S. and opened the boxes, we discovered they were all empty! Greg: Several years ago my wife, and I invested a significant amount of money in salvage wood from old buildings. We never drilled down ...
