Do not allow the actions of others to decrease your good manners, because you represent yourself, not others."
"If they respect you, respect them. If they disrespect you, still respect them. Do not allow the actions of others to decrease your good manners, because you represent yourself, not others." I know this quote is a little different from the ones I usually talk about, but I really like the message it conveys and felt that it fit the mood of this week thus far. We all have experienced situations where we are tempted not to be our best selves. Sometimes, we get hurt or angry and the need to give the other person a taste of their own medicine becomes extremely tempting. But in those times, we have to reach for our inner strength and remember we are not them. All because someone else is okay playing unfairly doesn't mean that we too should be too. After all, we are all responsible for our actions. And it is our actions and the intentions behind them that ultimately define us.

So, I guess that's it for now! Archives
