Earlier in this book I noted that one of my favorite sayings is "You get what you tolerate." This applies in spades to your relationships.

If you tolerate snide or offensive remarks from your boss or colleague, the remarks will continue. If you tolerate your spouse's lack of consideration for your feelings, it will continue. If you tolerate the disregard of people who regularly turn up late for meetings or social engagements, they will continue to keep you cooling your heels.
