“A Chat With The Most Trusted Woman
On Television” In Reader’s Digest
issue June 2013
Trust is tricky business; the most
important factor of a person is whether you can trust them. Robin Roberts is
not only one of Good Morning America’s
news anchors, but she is “The Most Trusted Woman On Television”. Robin Roberts
has inspired and touched many lives with her story of overcoming Breast Cancer
and a bone marrow transplant. She has given the real definition of trust, and
what it symbolizes.
In this interview with Editor-in-chief
Liz Vaccariello and Robin Roberts, they sit down and talk about the real
meaning of trustworthy. Trust is not something that can be earned right away,
it takes time to earn trust from anyone. An example of how Roberts exhibits her
trust is when she shared her story of struggle with America and allowed
everyone to know what she went through. Anyone who gets up and shares her
journey with the world is genuinely trustworthy, and shows she has a “real”
personality. Another example of how being trusting allows you to impact others,
is Roberts’ passion for her job. Roberts says: “The viewers really feel like
they have a relationship with you. I truly want people to have a great day.”
Since the viewers actually feel Robin cares for them, they will listen and be
open-eared for anything she says because they have a trust connection with her.
One of the most important virtues for
a person to have is trust; without trust you cannot have a firm foundation with
someone else. Roberts states: “All my mom and dad wanted was for us [her, her brother
and sisters] to be trustworthy citizens. And there’s a responsibility that goes
with that, and it’s not something I take lightly”. The respect that Roberts has
for her parents cannot be affected by what anyone says to the contrary. Another
example of building trust between someone is having respect for them. Roberts
says: “Every time I would leave my house in high school, my mother would always
say”, “Robin, you know right from wrong.” Roberts’ mother is correct in that
statement. Do what you think is the better option and you should never be in a
toss.
Trusting someone is not always
easy; you don’t always know who is the “fake” or “real” character. Your
trust can sometimes be placed in misfortunate hands. Robin Roberts is “The Most
Trusted Woman On Television” for a reason. Robin knows how to connect with
people and let them know they are cared for. Trusting someone is very
challenging at times, but all that matters is that there is a firm foundation
that the trust is built on.
