I hope that I can live by my own creed - To treat everyone with respect. Sometimes it is a very hard thing to do.
I do not know that I could live someone elses life or do their job better than they are. I try to remember that I do not know everything behind their actions or thinking.
I wonder sometimes as I see others work what were they thinking. I found that if I can talk to them and explain things, usually things improve greatly. I also try to point out things that were done right and well (everyone I have come to know thrives on praise, yet they all can see false praise). Most of all I try to remember to ask them where I can improve.
As I drive down the road and see what looks like poor judgement on the part of another driver I think back - How many times have I done something just as stupid? Then if I find myself getting upset with them I turn to making up homorous (to me at least) excusses for them.
