How do you respond when something negative happens?
"There are two kinds of people - those who, when something happens in their world, they look outwardly and say, "What can I fix out here to make this better?"
And then there's other types of people who look inwardly and say, "What could I have done different in this situation?"
The latter is the better one."
- Chuck Klausmeyer on The Way I Heard It with Mike Rowe, episode 265
One comment I came across was a Tweet he made (March 12, 2022) that caught my attention. He's not the first to say something like this, nor is it the only true test of character, but it struck me as quite profound and so I thought I'd share it here. Here's your deep thought for the day:
You can’t judge people only by how they treat you. The true test of character is how they treat those they don't like or need. Even if someone is kind to you, proceed with caution if they’re consistently unkind to others. Selective civility is a sign of deep-seated hostility.
