I encourage you to embrace fair compromise in every facet of your life. Before you send that snarky e-mail, pick up the phone and talk it out. If you’ve reached an impasse with a friend or family member, do your part to make it right. Clean up your side of the street. If you are able to, let someone off the hook. Give rather than take. Serve rather than expect. See that your neighbors have the same hopes and dreams that you do; remember, there is more that unites us than divides us.
