Practice empathy and strive to see things from others' perspectives from "summary" of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R. Covey,Sean Covey
In order to truly understand and connect with others, it is important to practice empathy and strive to see things from their perspectives. This means putting yourself in their shoes, listening to their thoughts and feelings without judgment, and seeking to understand their point of view.
When we are able to empathize with others, we are better equipped to communicate effectively, resolve conflicts, and build stronger relationships. Empathy allows us to see beyond our own biases and assumptions, and to appreciate the unique experiences and perspectives of those around us.
By actively listening and seeking to understand others, we can create a more inclusive and compassionate environment where everyone feels valued and respected. This not only benefits our personal relationships, but also contributes to a more harmonious and productive community as a whole.
Empathy is not always easy, especially when we are faced with challenging situations or conflicting opinions. However, by making a conscious effort to see things from others' perspectives, we can cultivate a greater sense of understanding, empathy, and connection with those around us.
In the words of Stephen R. Covey and Sean Covey, "Seek first to understand, then to be understood."

By practicing empathy and striving to see things from others' perspectives, we can become more effective communicators, problem-solvers, and leaders in both our personal and professional lives.
