Do unto others as you would have others do unto you is a commandment found in multiple belief systems. Since we are all part of the human family it only makes good sense to understand that people blossom when treated respectfully and die on the vine when treated with disrespect. Being human places everyone on an equal footing with everyone else. No one is more or less deserving of fair and equal treatment.

Give it a try right now. Thank the waitress sincerely for delivering your lunch, allow the driver in a hurry to pass you easily without resistance, accept the cleanup assignment for the hospitality you extended to guests with grace rather than with complaint, and go the extra mile to indicate that you are always willing to do more than you are paid to do because it is part of your work ethic to give more than expected. Sooner or later you will be recognized for your strong contribution and people will realize that you are worthy of good treatment yourself. ~ Judy Williamson
