Morning Annemarie. Hope you enjoyed the break!

About rude drivers in traffic... this first struck me when I read Stephen Covey's 7 rabbits (or was it habbits? :))

One of his 7 habbits of highly successfull people, included "seek first to understand" and what resonated especially with me was the need for us to believe the best in people, until/unless they prove us wrong. Suddenly, people cutting in before me in traffic makes me think: "perhaps the guy really did not see me, and I should have not been travveling in his blind spot - I can learn from this" or "what if his wife is 8.87 month pregnant and he really needs to get home *now* ?".

I somehow stumbled upon this wonderful blog today! what a treat it is to see people making an effort to understand. It is like one of my favorite quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson... "Each man I meet is my superior in some way, in that I learn from him." which isn't exactly how it is worded.

Although I still do get upset at other people for making mistakes I like to attribute it getting upset because I care about them. Not because I think they are stupid. You would be amazed how much your quality of life will improve by adapting this attitude.
