Firm But Gentle, Fair And Just

I've been looking at all the various quotes that I have on my whiteboard and this one always stands out: Firm but Gentle, Fair and Just.

In business, as in life, we should strive to be Fair and Just to everyone and everything in most situations. By being fair, we would ensure that the chances of fairness happenning back to you is greatly improved. Only then will just causes happen in our lives.

Likewise, in situations where we are tested on our patience and perseverance, we must remain firm to our principles. Be being firm, we would ensure that the chances of respect shown towards us is greatly improved too. Only then will gentle behaviours be shown by others to us.

Violence begets violence; be Firm but Gentle in dealing with every situation; be Fair and Just when dealing with people. Do so, and peace will come to every situation, with respect from everyone.
