Today's fortune cookie tidbit reads...
"Your respect for others will be your ticket to success."

I certainly hope so...

I will say this...I am old fashioned in the sense I still believe that terms such as "Mr" and "Mrs" need to be used by youngsters when addressing adults. Oh I realize that respect is earned but our society has lost some of the respect that comes with age and experience. It truly grates on me when I hear a four year old addressing a senior on a first name basis. Yes, respect may be earned, but I do feel that children need to learn that there are different forms of respect.

Maybe I am devious though - I can show respect though I may not truly respect the individual. Welcome to the world of networking :)
