Practice not to impose our ideas onto others

We live in close and interconnected social environments,

and every one of our actions will positively or negatively affect ourselves and others. So, we should take care to look at things from all angles before acting or expressing our opinions to others. We can certainly cultivate our own views and ideas, but imposing them on others will not be beneficial. Rather, if we approach conversations with others as exchanging thoughts in the spirit of cooperation, this will lead to more effective communication and will be a more skillful and beneficial way to convey our messages.
