Definition of Trustworthiness
• Trustworthiness is a moral value considered to be a virtue. A trustworthy person is someone in whom you can place your trust and rest assured that the trust shall not be betrayed. A person can prove their trustworthiness by fulfilling an assigned responsibility - and as an extension of that, not to let down expectations.
Definition of Trustworthiness
• A trustworthy person is someone that you can tell your worries and secrets to and know they won't repeat them without your permission. In general, in order for trust to be earned, worth and integrity must be proven over time.
Definition of Commitment
• Making a commitment involves dedicating yourself to something, like a person or a cause. Before you make a commitment, think carefully. A commitment obligates you to do something.
Definition of Commitment Some commitments are large, like marriage. When you take a job, you're making a
commitment to show up and do the job well, and your employer makes a commitment to pay you.
There are smaller commitments too. If you said you'd meet a friend at six, that's a commitment.
You also can speak of commitment as a quality. Studying in the Library after class hours shows
your commitment for achieving good rank.
