“Research shows that the same content in an email and in in-person dialogue sounds less polite in the email. Emails are brief and miss body language, eye contact, emphasis, inflection and pauses — details that often convey greater meaning than the words themselves.

“Acceptance of others starts with embracing these imperfections. You can either obsess about improving others or savor their presence.
