    Apparently ,if you do not practice the following you are an asshole.

    Be respectful, even when you disagree: Respect for others and their opinions, even when you disagree, shows that even if you are assertive and/or aggressive, at least you can see others point of view.

    Always look after the common good: Strive to keep the common good in mind when you are interacting with others. Most people will respect that and take your aggression or assertiveness as being for the good of everyone.

    Ask opinions from others: Listening to what others have to say shows that even though you may be aggressively going after an objective, their opinions matter.

    Read the crowd: Sometimes, an aggressive stance or an assertive tone, will turn a crowd quickly away from where you want to go. Turning the crowd away from your direction will make it much harder to be assertive or aggressive later on.

    Strive for common ground: Akin to the common good, common ground is what everyone agrees is true. When you come from a place of agreement, then it’s much easier to be aggressive or assertive.

    Take your ego out of it: Ego is the single biggest reason aggressive or assertive people turn into assholes. Keep your ego in check and watch yourself when it gets in the way.

    Have empathy: Understanding where others come from and the struggles they have will make it much easier to be assertive or aggressive. When you understand the plight of others, you are in a much better position to grasp the situation and meter your behavior.

    Personally,I prefer to call people arseholes but thats just me.

    Sometimes a good verbal clip round the ear can be a useful behaviour modifier, particularly for the chronically thick.

    Here's a hole in my sidewalk by Portia Nelson
    Chapter One
    I walk down the street
    There's a deep hole in the sidewalk
    I fall in
    I'm lost. . . I'm helpless
    It isn't my fault
    It takes me forever to find a way out

    Chapter 2
    I walk down the same street
    There's a deep hole in the sidewalk
    I pretend I don't see it
    I fall in again
    I can't believe I'm in the same place
    But it isn't my fault
    It still takes a long time to get out

    Chapter 3
    I walk down the same street
    There's a deep hole in the sidewalk
    I see it there
    I still fall in. . . it's a habit
    My eyes are open
    I know where I am
    It is my fault
    I get out immediately

    Chapter 4
    I walk down the same street
    There's a deep hole in the sidewalk
    I walk around it

    Chapter 5
    I walk down another street

    Thats what I know about holes :D
