Quote of the day:
"If there is any one secret of success, it lies in the ability to get the other person's point of view.” — Henry Ford
Consider:
Perspective is a funny thing and really depends on how you or someone else is looking at a situation or a problem. Try to understand the other person’s view point before insisting on having things your way.
Here’s a good story to illustrate this principle and quote.
Two travelers were approaching the statue of a knight in shining armor from different directions.
"What a lovely gold shield," commented one, while the other said, "You mean a silver shield."
As they argued with growing anger, a local inhabitant pointed out, "You are both right and both wrong. Half of the shield is gold and the other half silver, and it depends which side you see it from."
There are two, or more, sides to every argument, situation or problem, and we should always make sure we take a close look at the other side’s as well as our own.
What situations are you facing that you need to look at from a different view point?
Wishing you all the best,
