When it comes to trusting people in power, you want to make sure they are not abusing their power. This is why we need checks and balances to make sure people don't get taken advantage of. If you have an accountant, make sure you have a second accountant to review the books and do an audit so you don't end up losing all your money. Trust but verify is a quote that we should follow so we can ensure people are doing what they are supposed to do and avoiding the things they shouldn't be doing.

Don't trust people blindly because when you get disappointed by your blind trust, you'll have no one to blame but yourself. So do your check-in and make sure you're working with someone that will take away your livelihood.
