Knowing Yourself to Understand Others

Have you ever heard the saying 'to understand another person, first you have to walk a long way in their shoes'.

Well, yes, to a certain extent there is something in this. It means that you need to feel what being the other person is like to be able to relate to their experiences and feelings.

Beware, however! You may find that walking a few miles in someone else's shoes will damage his shoes and also hurt your own feet.

So, before walking in another person's shoes - look at your own feet first.......
