This section focused on the emotional bank account, which was a metaphor I really liked. By making little deposits over time you are able to build a trusting relationship. Covey also points out that you can overdraw the emotional bank account and then trust is lost within that relationship.
It is kind of ironic that this is the section we are reading this week. I had a little falling-out with one of my best friends from high school when I came to Notre Dame. This had been bothering me a lot, so I sent her a card at the beginning of this week. She called me Friday afternoon and we had like a two hour conversation and everything is great. I was building up my emotional bank account with her without even realizing it.
