“I must do something” will always solve more problems than, “Something must be done.”
In one form or another “The Golden Rule” has been embraced by every major religion in the world.
I recently came across a list of some golden rules for living by an unknown author.
These rules, if followed, will increase our own enjoyment of life and help us win friends and influence people.
They will improve our relationships with our friends, family, associates, etc. When followed,
these rules will improve society:
- If you open it, close it.
- If you turn it on, turn it off.
- If you unlock it, lock it up.
- If you break it, admit it.
- If you can’t fix it, call in someone who can.
- If you borrow it, return it.
- If you value it, take care of it.
- If you make a mess, clean it up.
- If you move it, put it back.
- If it belongs to someone else, get permission to use it.
- If you don’t know how to operate it, leave it alone.
- If it’s none of your business, don’t ask questions.
A recent correspondent with Ann Landers gives us another “Golden Rule” for parents to follow with their children – or, for that matter, themselves, when they receive a gift: Until you have written a thank-you note,
you cannot wear it, show it, read it, watch it, eat it, spend it, play with it or use it.
That’s certainly a wonderful rule and if followed will help us build winning relationships. In addition, saying “thank you,” is the foundation stone for building gratitude. That’s good. Follow these golden rules for living and I’ll SEE YOU AT THE TOP!
