Precious Gems

Never take someone for granted, because someday you'll realize that you've lost a diamond while you were busy collecting stones.

What does this mean to you?

Be careful how you treat people as well as how you allow people to treat you. People can mistake niceness for weakness but if the person is truly weak; then there isn't a mistake at all. Allowing a person to use you for everything you have while placing yourself in jeopardy is being taken for granted. Being treated with no respect at all but yet; ensuring that everything they want and desired is given to them is being taken for granted.

What does this mean to you?

Realize that if you are the person that is taking someone for granted; whether it is a loved one, friend, or colleague; take a step back and change the error of your ways. A person can only take so much before they are tired and will sever all ties with you. Leaving you to realize that they were a hidden gem that you let slip away.
