Show patience when you could show irritation
It’s common to be irritated. Maybe you’re in line at the grocery store behind a single parent with screaming kids. You could roll your eyes and cross your arms, or you could give the parent a smile. When she says, “I’m so sorry” you could say, “That’s okay.” You could even try to tell the kid a joke so they stop screaming and help the parent out. When elderly pedestrians are moving very slowly in front of you, rather than shove past them, annoyed, you can just slow down, take a beat, and realize that one day you’ll be that age and you’ll hope people show you patience.
