Well after last weeks excitement I'm glad to report this was a very quiet week. We got along at work and I had no issues with anyone else all week long. This has given me a new appreciation for seeing things from another persons viewpoint. She was kind and sociable with me all week long because of my actions to rectify the misunderstanding. If only I could take this with me forever now. I've done it once successfully so now I wold like to repeat my problem solving skills to all my hard situations that I manage to get myself into. The calmer I stayed the easier It was to come up with the solution. So now when I find myself struggling with an application I have new tools at my disposal to fall back on and think things through more effectively. We've been talking about perspectives a lot lately and it is a recurring theme with good reason. It has really opened my eyes to a new way of problem solving.
We do not live in a perfect world and I will probably lose my cool again or say something to offend but I can react better without losing my cool so quickly. realizing our mistakes and then admitting our mistakes goes a long way to mending fences with others. The hardest is eating all that humble pie. Putting others ahead is not always easy but well worth the reward in the long run. Take care everyone.
