Is that I have to be more understanding and more patient.
I learned that I shouldn't expect people to act and behave according to what I wish them to be or to behave like me. I should see their own potential and their capabilities based on their own pace and not mine.
I learned to be more sensitive.

Those are good things to learn. I need to be more empathetic.

Yes, if only. But most of the people are self-centered.

Funny thing is I know that too but it is not always easy to be sensitive, especially when things catch us off guard. We all have moments I think where we react without thinking.

I still wish people would be more sensitive back, too. Even though I already know most of humanity will never act like that.

Right. Majority of the people I meet are self-centered.

That is a good lesson that many never learn. It really makes life go a lot smoother.

Totally agree. I learned that as I grow older and I'm continuing to learn.

@toniganzon - It happens that we imagine that a person is better and we expect that this is the reality.

@toniganzon you are right just, many decide not to good deeds cause, they are never appreciated.

Right, I'm learning as well.
I'm used to work as if I always chased time then I got a teammate which is a gen Z, I learned so much from her honestly.
We all know they are being judged of how they handled works but honestly they teach us how to slow down as well.
