"我不信任那些对我很好，但对服务员粗鲁的人，因为如果我处在那个位置，他们也会以同样的方式对待我。"
— Muhammad Ali

Simplified Meaning:
If someone is kind to you but treats a waiter badly, it shows their true character. Their respect depends on who you are to them, not on genuine kindness or respect for everyone. Imagine you're sitting at a restaurant with a friend who speaks kindly to you but is mean and disrespectful to the waiter. This suggests that if your status changed, like if you were serving them instead of being their friend, they would treat you just as poorly. Trust is built on consistent respect for all people. To apply this in life, pay attention to how people treat others, especially those who they don't feel the need to impress. This can reveal their true nature and help you decide who is worthy of your trust.
