My favorite Quote of the Day

By
Real Estate Agent with Samson Properties SP98364271

   My favorite quote of the day. While browsing online,I ran across this site where I found this quote. So I thought I share it here with everyone. Reason why I really like this quote because I believe it is so true especially the part "being tender with the young". We all were young one time in our lives. But then again it depends on what you still consider young. Some people think they are forever young-there is nothing wrong with that. Anyway here is the quote.

How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant with the weak and wrong...because sometime in your life you will have been all of these. George Washington Carver.

Being right is easy..Being wrong and correcting, is an ethical move. Fortunatelly we as Realtors have code of ethics.  For most ,it's like pushing the easy button that Staples subscribes.
