I start out thinking every new person is a dirt bag, that way they work their way up. That may sound insane, but giving every new person the "benefit of the doubt" is just setting them up to disappoint you. If I think of every new person as a dirt bag I automatically start seeing what they're good at instead of what's wrong with them.
