I took Uber to the airport this morning and the driver told me he just started working there after having a bad experience at his previous job. That job was very physical but that’s not why he left: he said the supervisors made it harder and after 10 years he figured it wasn’t going to get any better. Employees often make their own situations -good or bad - but there certainly are times when supervisors think it’s better to be tough rather than fair. It takes experience and skill to be fair: you have to understand all the nuances of the job and its people, common sense to better determine right from wrong, and a genuine interest in finding both the good and bad in others. I spent 15 minutes with this fellow this morning and found him to be smart and nice – his former employer obviously didn’t see that. Spend your time looking for and appreciating the goodness in others and you’ll find the goodness in yourself today.
Dalai Lama is a title given to spiritual leaders of the Tibetan people.
