Today's favorite quotation

I love quotations and collect new ones whenever I can. This one came my way today:

"If you want to get the best out of someone then you must look for the best that is in them."
--Jack Welsh, former CEO, Chairman of General Electric

I like this quotation because it reminds me how easy it is in conflict and other difficult situations to see only the parts of people that are troublesome. It's easy to forget this person is a loving mother, sister, brother, or father. They have friends and family who enjoy being around them. When I am seeing only the "difficult" side of my conflict partner, I try to remember to look for their other sides as well. When I look for the best in someone, I usually find it.

Please send your favorite quotation and why you like it!

Good ki,

Judy Ringer
