The Highest Level of Intelligence is Reliability

1

Smart people are only good for chatting, reliable people are suitable for working together.

Some people make you feel comfortable when you talk to them, because they are good at understanding your thoughts and intentions, and then they will enthusiastically agree with you, and give you empty promises, making you feel happy.

I'm sorry, these people are only suitable for chatting.

And these people often make you feel like you just see them once, and then you're peaceful again, and after three times, you're bored.

There's 'initial charm' in love, and there's also 'initial charm' in social interactions.

But there's one type of person, when you're with them, you find they have strong principles and don't easily make promises, they don't exaggerate, they don't seek fame and fortune, and they don't readily agree with you.

This kind of person is precisely the one suitable for working together.

However, in the past, sincerity couldn't be maintained, only etiquette could win people's hearts, and we finally chose those who used tricks,

Old Zuo said: Truthful words are not beautiful, beautiful words are not trusted. Honest words are adverse to the ear, and pleasant words are harmful. Flattery is for small people.

In the past, we highly valued a person for his kindness, intelligence, or strength; but now, we highly value a person for his reliability – 'trustworthy',

If I had to find a word to encompass all our expectations for a person, it would be 'trustworthy',

As the saying goes: 'Don't make rash promises, that's why I don't disappoint people, don't make rash promises, that's why people don't disappoint me',

A trustworthy person, when he promises to do something, he has a grasp of the matter in his mind, this matter should be handled how,

In today's society, there are so many people like this: just to quickly impress others, they make promises without considering the consequences, originally promised so well, when the time comes, they change their mind; or they say things that sound good, but they never take action,

As a result, others' hopes are dashed, and they can't fulfill their own promises, so they're dishonest and disloyal, which not only wastes others' time but also damages their own reputation,

I have a sales friend who complains now: 'The way I used to get customers doesn't work anymore because customers have been tricked many times. It's too difficult to trick them now',

This is a common problem encountered in all industries.

In fact, it's not just about opening up customers, it's also the same with social interactions and cooperation.

Before, those who were good at talking and making friends, were good at dealing with people, so they easily won people's hearts.

But now, these people who are good at flattery are increasingly ineffective, because we've seen too many unreliable people, and we've developed immunity.

The things we want are becoming more and more real, only those truly valuable things can impress us.

Therefore, the most popular people today are those who are trustworthy – they don't gain trust by boasting or using tricks, but by doing things earnestly and honestly. People like this are more likely to gain trust and opportunities these days,

So: 'trustworthy' is the highest level of intelligence.

This is a 'loyalty' greater than 'insight' era,

Because in the era of individual prominence, as long as people can't trust and feel at ease with each other, cooperation efficiency will be very low, and when you work with trustworthy people, there's no suspicion, and the internal conflicts will be reduced to the greatest extent, and cooperation efficiency will be greatly improved!

Really, smart people are only good for chatting, when doing things, find trustworthy people.

As someone said: 'Trustworthy' means 'speaking and acting cautiously, doing things beyond expectations,' it means 'not greedy, not taking advantage, and understanding kindness,' it means 'when there's a promise, things are done one by one, there are responses to everything'.

A truly smart person will always be seen as a trustworthy person in the eyes of others,

Trustworthy people are also undoubtedly righteous and benevolent people.
