The following piece, written by a friend, Maureen Wild of High Road Solutions of Bridgewater, appeared in the At Work section of Monday’s Courier News.
“Courtesy and refined manners have absolutely nothing to do with what you drive, what you wear, where you eat, where you shop or where you live. There are plenty of perfectly rude people who are living luxurious lifestyles . . . There is absolutely no correlation between refinement and disposable income.
As we prepare to step into a new year, I would encourage everyone to put others first, watch what comes out of your mouth, set a good example for young people and small children and try to put yourself in the other person’s shoes.
Be more patient, behave more gently, slow the ego, do good as often as you are able. Choose the harder right over the easier wrong . . . If more people would behave with dignity, kindness and selflessness, oh what a beautiful life all of us would enjoy.”
Boy! If I could internalize a few of those precepts, I’d be doing great!
