Here are some professions Americans consider to be the most honest. Maybe the rest of us can learn from what these people do to establish good relationships with others.

MEDICAL DOCTORS

Jack Jacob, Age: 44, Fountain Valley, California

I try to introduce myself in a pleasant way. I sit down. I don’t stand. I make good eye contact with the patient and his or her family. Communication skills are key, as well as showing understanding and availability. For a physician, the most rewarding thing is when someone who has seen your work chooses you.

ENGINEERS

Chrissy Keane, Age: 41, Crofton, Maryland

I don’t know that being an engineer means you are automatically trustworthy. However, I do think that most engineers like to follow rules and be organized. They tell you what they think, whether you want to hear it or not. Those are important elements in building trust.

POLICE OFFICERS

G.M.Cox, Age: 64, Fort Worth, Texas

As a police officer, I have the best interests of the people I serve in my heart and in my actions and I’m going to treat everyone the same way. I always want to go up to people and speak to them with respect. Don’t talk down to them. You have to establish and maintain that trust. Be equal!

If you’ve ever wondered how your favorite travel bloggers have the time to run around the world eating the most wildly delicious meals without so much as showing up for a single day of work, the answer is probably in their social media followings. Large followings mean big sponsorship dollars, and that’s exactly how Christy Woodrow of Ordinary Traveler found a six-figure income.

“In 2010 I started travel blogging mainly to keep a journal of my travels, starting with a six-week trip through Southeast Asia”, she shared. “Blogging wasn’t really a viable (可行的) source of income at the time, so it really was a passion project when it began. Over the next couple of years, Ordinary Traveler’s audience grew beyond my wildest dreams and I decided to quit my job to do this full time. “

She threw her old life away, followed her dreams, and ended up richer for it. ”When I was stuck in the office, it often felt like I was wasting my life away. I knew there was more to life than a paycheck, but the idea that everyone hates their job and life is meant to be hard was deeply ingrained (根深蒂固的) from a very young age. I now provide real-life travel tips on the blog, shoot photography for hotels and destinations, and create videos for brands. ”

“I’ve experienced cultures in a whole new way, and I’ve learned so much about myself through travel. It has extremely expanded my world, and I wouldn’t have had these opportunities if I hadn’t quit my job, ” she says.

Christy’s passion rings through in just about all her posts on social media, which is one of the main causes she owes to her success. “I never promote something that I wouldn’t personally pay for myself, and I’m extremely conscious of providing an honest view of any destinations. This isn’t just a job for me. I turn down more than I accept. ”

I had worried myself sick over Simon's mother coming to see me. I was a new teacher, and I gave an honest account of the students' work. In Simon's case, the grades were awfully low. He couldn't read his own handwriting. But he was a bright student. He discussed adult subjects with nearly adult comprehension. His work in no way reflected his abilities.

So when Simon's mother entered the room, my palms (手掌心) were sweating. I was completely unprepared for her kisses on both my cheeks. "I came to thank you," she said, surprising me beyond speech. Because of me, Simon had become a different person. He talked of how he loved me, he had begun to make friends, and for the first time in his twelve years, he had recently spent an afternoon at a friend's house. She wanted to tell me how grateful she was for the self-respect I had developed in her son. She kissed me again and left.

I sat,surprised, for about half an hour, wondering what had just happened. How did I make such a life changing difference to that boy without even knowing it？What I finally came to remember was one day, several months before, when some students were giving reports in the front of the class, Jeanne spoke quietly，and to encourage her to raise her voice, I had said, “Speak up. Simon's the expert on this. He is the only one you have to convince, and he can't hear you in the back of the room.” That was it. From that day on, Simon had sat up straighter, paid more attention, smiled more, and became happy. And it was all because he happened to be the last kid in the last row. The boy who most needed praise was the one who took the last seat that day.

It taught me the most valuable lesson over the years of my teaching career, and I'm thankful that it came early and positively. A small kindness can indeed make a difference.
