Humm, tolerance it a sticky business and having zero tolerance is REALLY sticky! \u00a0\u201dOne\u2019s enemy is the best teacher\u201d is the best place to start. \u00a0Is it important to understand your enemy in order to practice tolerance? \u00a0Absolutely!<\/h3>\n

Should we have zero tolerance in business?<\/h2>\n

\u2026sometimes Yes, sometimes No!<\/h2>\n

which one helps with keeping the peace? \u00a0Well, Both!<\/h2>\n

In some business\u2019s, the customer is \u2018always right\u2019, so zero tolerance<\/em> is never<\/span> allowed in order to keep the peace\u2026 \u00a0you tolerate everything because that person could have a big mouth and spoil future sales to others. \u00a0You must accept that every person is a potential downer and treat them ALL as we would want to be treated.<\/p>\n

In other business\u2019s, certain behavior is \u2018just not appropriate\u2019, so zero tolerance <\/span>is necessary to keeping the peace<\/strong>\u2026 \u00a0For instance, schools. \u00a0Entering with a weapon is\u00a0strictly\u00a0forbidden due to zero tolerance guidelines, as it should be! \u00a0We need to accept<\/span> that there are a few bad seeds in every garden and pull them out<\/span>!<\/p>\n

Aha! Now we\u2019re talking! It\u2019s really about\u00a0keeping the peace<\/span>\u00a0and tolerating (or not) what brings about keeping the peace,\u00a0<\/em>accepting that there is good and bad in most people and\u00a0learning\u00a0to know when to tolerate and when not to\u2026<\/p>\n

So, what does this have to do with the practice of tolerance? \u00a0Just this, you first need to know your enemy and how<\/em> they are capable of disrupting your peace \u2026 and, then<\/em>, choose the best course of action to attain your ultimate goal, be it future sales, maintaining a learning (and not\u00a0frightening)\u00a0environment, or maintaining productivity in your business\u2026<\/p>\n

keeping the peace.<\/h3>\n

For me, the practice of tolerance has given me new insight to others and what motivates us all\u2026 \u00a0the search for peace. \u00a0The majority of my enemy\u2019s have turned out to be those who have had their peace taken away<\/em> for some reason and they are lashing out. \u00a0It\u2019s not for me to take personally (most of the time).<\/p>\n

But, in the process of getting to know them\u2026 \u00a0I can begin to understand (and tolerate) them for who they are, beyond the negative emotion. \u00a0Sometimes, I can relate to a time in my life when my \u2018keeping the peace\u2019 was the hardest thing to do because I was so Pissed Off!<\/p>\n

Thank God I had people around me who tolerated me (not zero tolerance<\/strong>!) and just held me tight until I was ready to grow out of my rut and move on. \u00a0 I am extremely grateful that I have been blessed with a family (mostly) of people are as interested in keeping the peace as I am!<\/p>\n

\u2026and that\u2019s my story and I\u2019m sticking to it. \u00a0Please leave a comment below and share your take on this zero tolerance thing and keeping the peace\u2026<\/p>\n

Keep smiling with love and light,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
