Bottom line: we all want respect. I firmly believe that what goes around comes around...some call it karma.
The golden rule is certainly the secret of life...treat others the way you would like to be treated.
That's everyone and all the time.
If you stop and listen to your tone or your words and ask yourself how you would react if the same tone and words were directed toward you, then you may think twice.
No matter what your title or position is, in the long run, we are all the same and no one is any better then the other.
You normally know as soon as you hang up or leave the room that you handled a situation wrong. The best thing to do at that point is to go back, admit it and apologize.
Be the bigger person.
Even if you think you were right in the matter, when you are rude, loud or you do not let the other person talk, you lose all validity...apologize, learn from it and move on.
Respect others, your neighbors, co-workers, customers and I promise you that you will get respect in return. If you hold a grudge or live your life trying to get even, it will wear you down. Loosen your shoulders and let it go. You will feel better and it is far better for your overall health.
To quote Jame Taylor, "the secret of life is enjoying the passing of time" or John Lennon, "life is what happens to you while your busy making other plans".
Life is too short...let it go...
