I have a simple philosophy that I try to live by:

It's really very simple.  I try to be respectful to others.  I try to listen to the opinions of others while keeping an open mind.  I also take responsibility for my own words and actions.  I try not to let the actions of others effect what I do and say.  Although it is human nature to react, sometimes we need to step back and own what we do and say without pointing fingers at others.  
"A generous heart, kind speech, and a life of service and compassion are the things which renew humanity." ~ Buddha
