The Number 10 Principle

All people have potential. Everyone you meet can be a 10. Believing in people usually brings out the best in them. If people believe in themselves, they can reach their potential and become the individuals they were created to be. If you’ve been hurt or disappointed in the past, don’t let that negatively color your attitude in the future.

Philosopher and poet Johann Wolfgang von Goethe said, “Treat a man as he appears to be and you make him worse. But treat a man as if he already were what he potentially could be, and you make him what he should be.”

If they are 5,6,7,8,9, etc, take them in higher 10. Treat people well and take the high road with them, even if they don't do the same for you. See people as they can be, not as they are, and you will be amazed by how they respond to you. Not only your relationship with them will improve, but you will also help them become who they were to be.
