Working with others

I don't like that man. I must get to know him better. Abraham Lincoln

I need to deal with them - one by one - the individual;
Seek by a deliberate effort of imagination and Reasoning
To understand them ;
Why do they act the way they do
What their difficulties are
and How the friction can be avoided
I need to do this morning after morning
And as I do this, I shall lose the preposterous habit of blaming others!

Arnold Bennett: The Human Machine: Loc 405
