Repair quickly
Trust is built from honesty and from repairing quickly when you get it wrong.

Be honest, repair fast Trust is built in drops and lost in buckets. Honesty plus quick repair after a mistake keeps the bucket full.
Why this form
A product: honest people who never repair, or quick apologies without honesty, both lose trust.
