Eleven Proven Ways to Get Along Better With EVERYONE

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

 Before you say anything to anyone, ask yourself 3 things:

   1.  Is it true?

    2.  Is it kind?

3. Is it necessary ?

Cultivate your sense of humor; laughter is the shortest distance between two people

Make promises sparingly and keep them faithfully

Never miss the opportunity to compliment or say something

    encouraging to someone

Refuse to talk negatively about others; don't gossip and

don't listen to gossip

Have a forgiving view of people.  Believe that most people

are doing the best they can.

Keep an open mind; discuss, but don't argue. 

(It is possible to disagree without being disagreeable.)

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

Forget about counting to 10.  Count to 1,000 before doing

    or saying anything that could make matters worse

 Let your virtues speak for themselves
