This I Believe "Every Person Deserves Respect"

After learning the the speaker was the Vice President of Google I was even more impressed by what he was talking about. Vint Cerf has been deemed the "father of the internet" he made insulting people anonymously an option, but his TIB essay really struck me. I myself do not handle disrespect well, whether it is me being disrespected  my friends, family or even a stranger I do not take it lightly. I strongly believe that no one person is better than any other. Vint Cerf said that he now strives to ask people about their stories so that he can always learn new things and after talking to a limo driver that was also a retired CEO he says he no longer looks at people working "below" him as sad or unfortunate. When I got my first minimum wage job I realized how much people judge others. I worked at Dairy Queen on the richer end of Louisville and these women would come in with their children in the middle of the day, while I'm sure their husbands were working, and they would be down right rude and disrespectful to my coworkers, my friends. I hated it, they didn't know anything about my coworkers, most of them worked harder than most people I knew and they certainly did not deserve that disrespect. To hear that such a rich and obviously smart man like Vint Cerf could also see that really makes me feel better about humans; however he was hard to listen to because his voice never changed, it was easier to read what he was saying than listen to it. I don't think that I would have been able to listen to it if I wasn't interested and connected to what he was speaking about.
