"I never met a man I didn't
like!" Will Rogers
This quote bothered me for years - It simply seemed impossible, even
for a good-natured guy like Will Rogers. My office in Fort Worth was across the street from the Will Rogers Colliseum
and his popularity pushed me to study him a bit. But it wasn't untill years later when Jane and I took my folks
to NY City and we attended a play The Will Rogers Follies' and they made a point of explaining that Will was part American
Indian and those traditions influenced his approach to people. He believed that we should always take a minute, after
meeting a person, to turn around and face the direction they are facing, to see the world as they are seeing it, before we
return to our own direction.
By deliberately gaining the perspective of the other person, it would be difficult
to not 'like' that person, in spite of any differences.
Good story.......Good advice........Always consider
different perspectives......
