Quote for the week
“Don’t go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing; it was here first.”
– Mark Twain
TimBit for the week
Individual differences make life interesting, and yes, challenging. Dealing with other people who see life differently makes for interesting relationships. Differences give life its opportunities for growth, insight, and awareness. The unfortunate thing is that these differences can often lead to unmanaged or unresolved conflict, stress, and disappointment. People who live happy lives accept the uniqueness of individuals. They are not on a mission to change them, correct them or invalidate them.
Question for the week
Who do you find it difficult to accept and what is it about them that cause these feelings?
