Question: How do you tend to treat people? Rate yourself on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 meaning that you always treat people better than they treat you and 1 meaning that you often find yourself engaging in petty conflicts. (To make sure you've scored yourself accurately, ask a colleague or your spouse to rate you as well.) If you rated a fairly low number, then take a look at the following observations:
• Petty people lack perspective in their lives.
• Petty people lack priorities in their lives.
• Petty people lack passion in their lives.
• Petty people lack progress in their lives.
Which area might be preventing you from treating others better? How can you grow in that area?
