When we're busy focusing on ourselves and improving, we not only don't have time to dwell on others' shortcomings but we are more positive so we view people in a more positive light.

(Mostly, there are some real jerks out there!) <br /><br />Did you know that if you smile at someone they're almost guaranteed to smile back and your interaction will have a better chance of a positive to you result? If you're on the phone with customer service people, try smiling and asking how they are today before you ask your question. The "sound" of a smile can be picked up and most people don't ask how they're doing. <br /><br />Try it.
