“You treat everyone with dignity — parents, teachers, visitors, vendors and workers. I have learned a lot from watching how you treat people”. That was a humbling observation by one of my key people.
I often teach my students that we must not treat others the way we expect to be treated — we must treat them how they expect to be treated. It’s not a play on words, it’s a key way to build empathy.
When we treat people with dignity, and genuine care, even ordinary folks can move mountains. Besides, it makes our world just a little bit better.
