Make your + discussions, criticisms and debates from a position of respectfulness. Ask + yourself, is it true? Is it necessary? Is it constructive?

Remember this: if you respect your own opinions, you should + respect the opinions of others. +8. **To err is human.** You might not intend it, but mistakes do happen and + contribute to build experience. Tolerate honest mistakes, and don't + hesitate to apologize if you make one yourself. \ No newline at end of file
