We should all be taking this advice from Sonia Sotomayor’s mom… Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor recalls a lesson from her mother that has shaped the way she approaches disagreements: when people frustrate you, look for what’s good in them. As a child, she watched her mom patiently listen to a friend who never stopped talking. When she asked how, her mom explained—it’s easier to stay present when you remember someone’s good heart. Sotomayor says she carries that lesson into the Supreme Court. Even when she doesn’t agree with her colleagues and feels the urge to leave the room, she focuses on their better qualities to keep conversations going. It’s a reminder that staying engaged, even when it’s difficult, makes dialogue—and the possibility of solutions—possible. #Advice #Politics #Republican #Democrat
