Found it in some random place. Regarding the Circle of trust. =))

Trust is very important. Yet, this is something that in today’s world, ethics and integrity and trust are often overlooked. It is not important any more to do what one says one will do. Integrity is rare to find. Vows are so easily broken they are practically useless. Years ago we didn’t need contracts for people to do what they said they will do. Years later, it became necessary to write legal contracts binding people and businesses to do what was right. Today, even the contracts are often not worth the paper they are written on. Courts are jammed with civil lawsuits over breaches of trust. Divorces are so easy to get that the constitution of the marriage vow is of little value. Bankruptcies are at an all-time high. Many people’s personal credit is a mess because they borrowed and didn’t bother to repay. We all place value on trust when our expectations are in someone else, but many don’t consider that trust is reciprocal.

Had the first lesson of Semester 4. Microeconomics. Maybe first day was more attentive, I like the time spent. I can visualise the busy days ahead. Projects out. Deadlines near. Examination soon. Time never waits.

...try again or walk away...
