"The greatest good you can do for another is not just to share our riches but to reveal to him his own." Benjamin Disraeli

Hey, it's easy to find fault. It's easy to point out flaws. It's easy to criticize and critique the shortcomings of others. But easy or not, it's just plain wrong. And it will never get you anywhere close to realizing your dreams. You've got to get off - and stay off - of the low road. And don't go back.

Instead of tearing others down, why not take the high road and look for ways to build people up? Instead of raising a ruckus with people you know, why don't you look for ways to make them feel better about themselves? Instead of fussing and fuming and getting all riled up arguing with others, why don't you look for the best in the people all around you?

Take the high road. Tell them how much you admire them, how much you appreciate them. How much they mean to you.

Even when others pass judgment on you, you've got to rise about it. Don't stoop to their level; don't join their club. Don't say two can play this game. Rather than join them on the low road and start hurling insults back and forth, I want you to take the high ground and look for a ways to lift them up. That's right; I want you to look for the best in your detractors, even when they're ripping you to shreds. Why? Because chances are pretty good they hate the low road as much as you do. They desperately want to feel better, do better and be better. They just need to discover the best within themselves.

And you can help.
