HOW
DO YOU TREAT OTHERS
|
Did you know that how
you treat others tells a wealth about how successful you are and
how successful you will be?
It’s true.
Not only does it
reveal how successful you’ll be, it sheds the brightest light in the
darkest
place to expose your inner strength.
If you are the type
of person that takes advantage of people just to make a dime or
further your own purposes, that says that you’re a very selfish and
uncaring person.
Now this may seem
elementary and common sense, but you’d be surprised at how many
people use and abuse those who they would even say they care about.
I know of a first
grade teacher who has a system that gives every student a chance to win
a prize from the *Treasure Chest*. It’s a great tool to promote good
behavior in the
classroom.
Anyway, one
particular student who is generally well-behaved was a little talkative
one
day and received a sad face that was to be sent home to his parents.
Toward the end of
the day, he approached the teacher with his head in his hands.
He raised his head
from his hands only to show a fountain of tears flowing from his eyes
–
trying to hide them from his classmates.
When the teacher
inquired what could be wrong, she discovered that he was upset
because he would be in trouble at home. The teacher explained that he
should think
talking out of line in class. At that time the 1st grade student erupted
with gasping and
tears (more than ever).
He continued to
explain to his teacher that his daddy was going to *hit him hard in the
stomach and he would go flying backwards*.
Can you imagine the continual scene at this six year old's house?
The parent in this
situation is a weak individual and obviously doesn*t care about himself
or his child. If he did, the abuse wouldn*t occur.
I don’t know the
family’s circumstances, but I know that there is no circumstance that
calls for a six year old (or any child) to be punched in the stomach by
a grown man.
Success? He*s already
reached his pinnacle. Eventually, he*ll find himself in a place that
will limit his time with his own child.
Inner strength? None.
It takes more inner strength to know how to treat others than it
does to surrender to your animalistic and uncontrolled behaviors. Inner
strength is a
continual process and practice. It requires control and purpose.
True story? Yes. My
wife is the first grade teacher. Measures are being taken to see that
this situation doesn’t continue.
This is an extreme
example, but there are plenty of examples that may be a little more
common. Perhaps in your life. . .
Are you a supervisor / boss?
How do you treat those under you?
Don*t use your position to *lord it over* others.
Use your power for a
positive purpose. Lead as an example. Show those under you that
you’re not perfect. You’re still learning too.
That’s one way to
gain the respect of your superiors as well as those you’re leading. It
IS
possible to acknowledge your faults and do a great job.
Are you a worker bee?
Apply these tips:
- Ask
questions.
- Be friendly.
- Find out how you can help.
- Take the most undesired part of your job, the thing that no one wants
to do, and ask to
do it.
Are you a parent?
Love your family. Go
to them and give them a big hug and tell them how much you love
them. Then show them daily.

www.forward-living.com with the given resource box at the bottom.
If you do use an
article from FLL, please email info@forward-living.com to let us know so

Somehow I can't
believe that
there are any
heights that can't be scaled
by a man who
knows the
secrets of making dreams come true. This special secret,
it seems to me,
can be summarized
in four C s. They are curiosity, confidence,
courage, and constancy, and
the greatest of all is confidence.
When
you believe in a thing, believe
in it all the way, implicitly and unquestionable.
