I just received an email from someone I was working with to closeout a contract. What caught my eye was a line from the end of her email that read the following:
"Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle."
I don't know but it is so true. It reminds me of a story I heard on the radio awhile ago but I still remember it. It's about a man on a subway heading home with his two kids. His kids were jumping around and goofing off and just plain loud. Another passenger was annoyed at the behavior of the children and even more so at the father's unwillingness to do anything about it. He was just sitting there letting them behave like this. The other passenger had to do something and confronted the dad to tell him to tell his children to simmer down. The man looked up and simply replied "I'm sorry we just came from the hospital where their mom just died." I'm not the best storyteller but the point should come across. Be kind. More to come later I've got to get back to work.
