    Try to see things from the other person's point of view.

    "If we could only see ourselves as others see us"

    I think that amounts to the same thing.

    Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

    Imagine every driver coming up to the junction in front of you is going to act like an idiot. That way you can react to it in time.
