How do you see other people?

Have you heard this story?

A fellow is contemplating moving into a small town. He approaches a local resident and asks, "What are the people like in this town?" To which the resident replys, "Well, what are the people like where you live now?"

"Oh," he says, "most are self-centered, impolite, rude, and not very bright." To which the local resident says, "That's probably what you'll find here too."

Another fellow approaches the local resident with the same question, "What are people like in this town?." Again, he asks the questioner, "Well, what are people like where you come from?"

"Oh," says the new questioner, "most are kind, generous, polite, and quite intelligent."

"Amazing," says the local resident, "that's a perfect description of the people here too."

The moral of course, is that most people live up to our expectations. If we look for the worst in people we find it. If we look for the best in people, we find that too.

I have decided to make this a day to look for the best in others. Will you join me?
