This line suggests that you should treat people regardless of who they are, like what Immanuel Kant said "Act only according to that maxim by which you can at the same time will that it should become a universal law." or the idea we meet within all the main religion: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you".

And the question that may somewhat not be directly related but still interesting for me is: "Should you treat others like how you want to be treated, or like how they want to be treated because everyone is different?"

I first thought about this question when listening to a talk between Kevin Yien and Gary Chou in the Startup Studio class at Cornell Tech talking about team management.
