Never look down on anybody unless you are helping him up. – Jesse Jackson

It is easy to get down on someone when you don’t share their goals or are living their life.  Often we speak up to throw in our opinions when it is not only unwanted, but also unhelpful.  Resist the temptation to share criticism at someone else’s expense.  Don’t give advice to people unless it is asked for, it appears that you belittle them and come off looking like a know-it-all and nobody likes a know-it-all.  Really think about ways you could help that person.  Rather than continuously being bothered by a coworker’s mistakes, you could help out or explain a task to them in a respectful way.  You never know when you might be in that same situation yourself and would want the help in a positive manner. This week make special effort to help others and it will come back to you.
