Handling People

A  L  O  H  A !

"A person's a person,

 no matter how small."

                                     Dr. Seuss

"One of the most sincere 

forms of respect is 

actually listening to what 

another has to say. "

                      Bryant H. McGill

"Never judge someone by 

the way he looks or a book 

by the way it's covered; 

for inside those tattered pages, 

there's a lot to be discovered. "

                              Stephen Cosgrove

Many many years ago I

learned and never have forgotten

a foolproof and effective

way to handle people:

'Treat Children Like Adults.

Treat Adults Like Children.'

Sounds a clever turn of phrase,

concealing much insight

into our Human  Nature.

Be present, frank,

never 'talking down'

and children will

surprise you.

Pleasantly greet adults.

Ask how their day is,

smile when you see them

making judicious

eye contact.

You awaken the

child in every adult

who is not above being

cared over and jolly

up a bit.

In  fact is hungry for it!

See the wise being

in every child.

And the need for

babying 

in every adult.

You will go far.

You will be liked. 

I'm Already Quite

Fond of YOU!
