Practice 3: Giving an A

If you automatically assume the best and give everyone an A in life, then you let the best come out in
them and you remove a lot of the barriers that have been the relationship back. This A is a possibility to
live in to. The freely granted A expresses a vision of partnership, teamwork, and relationship. The
practice of giving an A invents and recognizes a desire in people to contribute to others, no matter how
many barriers there are to its expression.

“For after all, it is only to a person to whom you have granted an A that you will really listen, and it is in
that rare instance when you have ears for another person that you can truly appreciate a fresh point of
view.”
