In so doing, you create a barrier that hinders your understanding of their words and intentions, thus widening the gap between you and them. So, be fair when you judge people. Also, beware that even wonderful people have negative attributes. Likewise, the worst people have positive attributes.\u00a0 As a human being, you have both negative and positive attributes.<\/span><\/h2>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'andale mono', times; color: #000000;\">\u00a0 \u00a0Throughout life, mans strives to overcome his flaws and boost his positive attributes. Gandhi says, \u201cI only look at people\u2019s advantages. And, because I am not void of flaws, I cannot speak of others\u2019 mistakes.\u201d How great are the hearts that forget about people\u2019s flaws! They overcome all barriers of rejection and build bridges of love. Hence, do not complain of people\u2019s bad manners. Rather, show them how good manners are like.<\/span><\/h2>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'andale mono', times; color: #000000;\">\u00a0 \u00a0The hardest thing, however, is not just seeing others\u2019 flaws. It is ignoring their advantages or belittling them. This reflects lack of love and, even worse, fullness with negative feelings. These negative feelings sway man from his goals. Be, then, honest in evaluating people\u2019s advantages so as to win their respect and boost your self-respect as well.<\/span><\/h2>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'andale mono', times; color: #000000;\">\u00a0 \u00a0Mother Theresa dedicated her life for loving service. Her life and words taught people a lot. She said, \u201cDo not offer money only; money is not enough. People need kind hearts that flow with love.
