“It is not fair to ask of others what you are not willing to do yourself”

Eleanor Roosevelt

Simplified Meaning:

Treating others fairly means not expecting them to do things you wouldn't do yourself. Imagine a workplace where a boss asks employees to stay late, but the boss always leaves on time. This would feel unfair because the boss is not willing to make the same sacrifice. To create a fair environment, everyone should share the responsibilities and efforts equally. If you want someone to help clean up after a party, you should also be prepared to help. Applying this idea in daily life means being considerate and ensuring you're up for any task you ask someone else to do. It builds trust and respect in relationships, whether at home, work, or among friends.
