But That’s Just Me

I

Respect People Who:

• Think for themselves
• Consider new ideas … and other points of view… openly
• Listen to all the words… as well as the tone
• Learn from Every experience
• Give thoughtful, studied responses based on ideas and feelings

– from experiences, books, parents, credos, friends

I

Can’t Respect People Who:

• Let Others do their thinking
• Dismiss new ideas… or other points of view… out of hand
• Hear only what they expect to hear
• Do not embrace every experience fully
• Parrot responses
• from a Book, a parent, a credo, a friend

But

That’s just me

                My respect

                                Doesn’t pay the bills

                                Legitimize, Authorize or

                                        Sanctify…                                                                  …Any one
