Please note, I do not intend to make this assertion from a standpoint of superiority. This is an issue that I deal with as much as anyone (that's not an exaggeration). In fact, since I generally mind my own business, I would not take terms with this issue if it did not apply to me directly.
And nobody else can be bound by liability to them. They may be held liable for their own actions, but you are to be held liable for your reaction. In short, an inappropriate overreaction on your part does not increase the liability of the "provoker." Nor do you become justified in overreacting.
In success coaching, this is called "initiative," "pro-activity," and "maturity" (which is not a misnomer in this case, I would say).
I'll write more about this later; I'm late I'm late for a very important date.
(That's work, btw :)
Meantime, any opinions on this?
