Different Strokes for Different Folks

I always liked learning about George Washington Carver, the promoter of peanuts, sweet potatoes, botany, humanitarianism, and positive thinking. These words often spring to my mind when I find myself becoming frustrated with someone or with a situation:

"How far you go in life depends on you being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant of the weak and the strong. Because someday in life you will have been all of these."

-George Washington Carver
