Today was not very exciting but a simple nice day. I completed the task assigned and it was done well and I want to share with you all a story that I heard in a YouTube video of Ankur Warikoo.

He always talk about a advice from his 1st manager : "It doesn't matter how smart you are, If I can't trust you". He do have elaborated this thought in his threads and Instagram post but YouTube video is more amazing. Main highlight was: how you can build trust with this. Any work assign to you should be like: "If this person has done it, I don't have to check for any mistakes. If there are any he/she must have already taken care about them."

When he was speaking about his work I totally related with it. Because I felt in my current work I am making the same mistake. In my case, my team member check my code. And I want to admit that I was pathetic in my current task, he list out around 10 things very first time I showed him my work and then after correcting those, he again listed around 12 point. Today I solved all those and thankfully I have not told him that I have completed. Because now I can recheck every single thing once again and gain his trust. I might have already lost it a bit but I think with my next task I can gain it back.

This is such powerful lesson to learn. I hope I sustain this because I knew this thought but still I was unable to recall it before submitting my work. Because he do have spoken it in an earlier video: "Mistake I made in my first job"(if I am right this was the title because I couldn't find that video). From that video onwards I am trying to do that and now I realised that I have completely forgotten it. So this time I am making a blog so that I remember.

So today's learning as you might have guessed: "It doesn't matter how smart you are, If I can't trust you".

Please do watch his videos to completely understand this super amazing concept on building trust and being fully accountable for your work : https://youtu.be/ggVrFEzCfZI

Have a Great Day
