In Life: Assume the Best
When someone appears to have “wronged” you, always assume they had the best intentions and the problem is a misunderstanding or an honest mistake. Most often this is the truth.
This outlook may not be always be true, but I find looking at the world this way results in a much happier lifestyle. It takes quite a bit of energy and enthusiasm thinking that everyone is out to get me. I would rather be happy and delusional than unhappy and more of a realist.
