How can you show others that you value and respect them when you’re interacting with them?
“The best index to a person’s character is (a) how he treats people who can’t do him any good, and (b) how he treats people who can’t fight back.” - Abigail Van Buren, American columnist
“Pretend that every single person you meet has a sign around his or her neck that says, ‘Make me feel important.’ Not only will you succeed in sales, you will succeed in life.” - Mary Kay Ash, American business leader
“Rudeness is the weak man’s imitation of strength.” - Eric Hoffer, American philosopher
"Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope." - Robert F. Kennedy, American politician
Great points, Meredith- the quotes are very powerful! We need reminding that respect is a two-way street.
ReplyDeleteYes, it's easy to feel that our perspective/point of view is the only acceptable one. But we often don't realize that shows disrespect for the other person.
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking time to share your positive feedback, Don. I appreciate it!
I always say You don't need to show that the other are on a wrong way to prove that you are on a good one... :)
ReplyDeletePas besoin de montrer que les autres sont sur la mauvaise voie pour prouver que vous petes sur la bonne ! :)
Meredith,
ReplyDeleteStaying open-minded not only allows you to see their side and their thought process it open you up to possibly learn something new.
I think part of the issue is that we are taught more on how to speak and not enough on how to listen.
