As novices, we think we're entirely responsible for the way people treat us. I have long since learned that we are responsible only for the way we treat people.
Ignoring negative things that need to be changed is destructive and does nothing to alleviate negativity. Instead, we should focus on the way we're treating other people in our brief interactions with them.
We may not be able to stop evil in the world, but how we treat one another is entirely up to us.
Nothing Exposes our true self more than how we treat each other in the home.
People are what you make them. A scornful look turns into a complete fool a man of average intelligence. A contemptuous indifference turns into an enemy a woman who, well treated, might have been an angel.
Sparky Anderson taught me this a long time ago: 'There's three ways you can treat a person. You can pat 'em on the butt, you can kick 'em in the butt, or you can leave 'em alone.'
I think children understand the world better than adults do. Especially when it comes to how we treat other people.
