In literature, trust is considered as “an essential ingredient for relationships to realize their full potential”. Trust is not a static quality but an emotional skill and a dynamic part of human life as it includes the conscious choice and the decision to build a relationship based on personal promises, commitments and the individual skills of the partners.

• Self-Confidence is an essential requirement for trust because you need to trust yourself before you are able to trust someone else.
