Repairing Trust:
Trust is something easily broken, but regaining it takes much longer. While it is a difficult thing to do, it really is worth it.

"What's the worst that can happen"(49)?
This quote can be seen in multiple ways. For some, it can be looked at from a positive attitude. Like if someone has faith that they will be successful and that nothing bad will come of it. For others, it is almost a challenge to see just how many problems will go wrong. Either way, it can be seen as a justification for doing something that in other words would seem questionable.
