as the speed of trust. Nothing is as fulfilling as a relationship of trust.

the economics of trust. Nothing has more influence than a reputation of trust.
Stephen Covey
Too many vacations
that last too long, too many movies, too much TV, too much video game playing -
too much undisciplined leisure time in which a person continually takes the
course of least resistance gradually wastes a life. It ensures that a person's
capacities stay dormant, that talents remain undeveloped, that the mind and
spirit become lethargic and that the heart remains unfulfilled.
