Advice Quote by David DtK Smith
“People say they are considerate... but are they really? To be considerate you must intentionally (but preferably unconsciously) go out of your way on a consistent basis to help or do something for more than half of the people you directly/indirectly interact with. Being considerate is not a one-time occurence, you must live it.”
