"We are harder on others than we are on ourselves.
Most people use two totally different sets of criteria for judging themselves versus others. We tend to judge others according to their actions. It is very cut-and-dried. However, we judge ourselves by our intentions. Even if we do the wrong things, if we believe our motives were good, we let ourselves off the hook and we are often willing to do that over and over before requiring ourselves to change. "
- John C Maxwell "Leadership Gold"
He has put it very aptly and succinctly, a point for us to reflect both in our personal as well as our work life.
