The question arises what may be done if one is tied to another in business or in a tie of relationship or in a certain enterprise where both have the same interest, the same destiny, and to a certain extent the same goal. This is most difficult to answer in a few words for in the first place one must know the reason why another person does not act as one wishes him to act, and then one must remember one's own position in connection with the person. There are situations where one has perhaps more experience of life and more responsibility in life than the other and one has more right to be different from what is expected than the other.

It is well to realize in what capacity one stands in considering this question, for it is more the work of the elder and superior in position to think why the younger one or the one who assists him in the work acts differently from what is expected, instead of the younger one and the one who assists to think why the one whom I assist acts differently from what I expect of him. However, whatever be one's position in connection with another in life, there is one principal thing to be remembered, that is by judging, by complaining, by criticizing, most often one turns things from bad to worse.

Do not think that another person wishes to be corrected by you, be he wise or foolish, older or younger, as soon as one takes the step to correct a person one so to speak does violence to his pride, his ego, and by doing so upsets his right thinking. There are ways of doing things the wiser. The more beautifully he accomplishes his purpose, if one has to be humble in doing it beautifully, if one has to bend instead of wishing the other person to bend it really matters very little. Criticizing a person, accusing a person of his fault is no less than slapping him in the face, perhaps worse.

In all cases it is consideration which is needed, a respectful attitude towards the human being, whatever be his position in life; it is that which gives you a complete victory. The great kings of this world very often have been pulled down from their thrones by those who for years bowed and bent and trembled at their commands, but the Christ-like souls who have washed the feet of the disciples are still held in esteem, and will be honored and loved by humanity for ever. Their example is the example to follow in life's path, which is full of thorns, and those who have followed this principle even in the smallest degree, they have arrived safely at their destination. God bless you.
