The world continues to weave lessons that inspire us to respect, share good vibes and kindness and continue to work on behalf of those who need us by volunteering to take on responsibility and by inspiring others to do the same. Christine Porath, in her book and Ted Talk, Mastering Civility, talks about the importance of being respectful to others and how it is good for business, and most important, good for the world. Porath studied the effects of everyday incivility such as mocking, belittling, teasing, telling offensive jokes, texting in meetings.
