"Proven Ways to Get Along Better With EVERYONE"
1. Before you say anything to anyone, ask yourself 3 things:
1. Is it true?
2. Is it kind?
3. Is it necessary?
2. Make promises sparingly and keep them faithfully.
3. Never miss the opportunity to compliment or say something
encouraging to someone.
4. Refuse to talk negatively about others; don't gossip and
don't listen to gossip.
5. Have a forgiving view of people. Believe that most people
are doing the best they can.
6. Keep an open mind; discuss, but don't argue. (It is
possible to disagree without being disagreeable.)
7. Forget about counting to 10. Count to 1,000 before doing
or saying anything that could make matters worse.
8. Let your virtues speak for themselves.
9. If someone criticizes you, see if there is any TRUTH to what
he is saying; if so, make changes. If there is no truth
to the criticism, ignore it and live so that no one will
believe the negative remark.
10. Cultivate your sense of humor; laughter is the shortest
distance between two people.
11. Do not seek so much to be consoled, as to console; do not
seek so much to be understood, as to understand; do not seek
so much to be loved as to love.
