How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant of the weak and the strong, because someday in your life, you will have been all of these. -- George Washington Carver
I hear a lot of successful people talk about the key to a fruitful life. They talk about hard work, drive, ambition and a little bit of luck. Those are all really great things to have but I think George Washington Carver is more on target. How you treat others contributes to your success, whether you realize it or not.
I follow the Golden Rule. I treat others as I would want to be treated. I do not judge them. I am compassionate and kind. Even if someone has treated me badly, that does not give me the right to treat them badly.
I am extremely blessed and if for not the grace of God, I could be poor, weak and homeless. My heart goes out to them and I try to show kindness.
I urge each of you to not only speak Carver's words but to become them. I can guarantee that you will be blessed.
