Tolerance is one of the traits that I put right up there with patience and it also requires that you have knowledge and the ability to be helpful. So many people that I have met in the past lack these 4 traits and that keeps them from achieving success.

Franklin D Roosevlet said it best in the very first quote here about how were are to survive. It does not just pertain to our civilazition, it applies to our work like. You do not have to like your clients, you have to be able to tolerate them. Or, in most cases, find a common ground to stand on.

The thing to remember about tolerance is that someone else is also having to tolerate you. It is a 2 way street.

I hope that you find something of inspiration here. I know I do. And if you get a chance, take a look at what is behind the pictures. You might find something highly interesting.

"If civilization is to survive, we must cultivate the science of human relationships - the ability of all peoples, of all kinds, to live together, in the same world at peace."
Franklin D.Roosevelt

Rather, let us speak of mutual understanding and mutual respect.

Laws alone can not secure freedom of expression; in order that every man present his views without penalty, there must be spirit of tolerance in the entire population.
Albert Einstein

In the practice of tolerance, one's enemy is the best teacher.

If a profound gulf separates my neighbor's belief from mine, there is always the golden bridge of tolerance.

Danny ~ Actually one line in your post stood out to me more than the quote (this time); where you say:

"The thing to remember about tolerance is that someone else is also having to tolerate you. It is a 2 way street."

Something we should all think about.

I agree with Kathy and Grace, nothing happens in a vacuum. Everything we do effects someone; even if it isn't apparent to us.
