11 simple rules
Posted by deneb7 on October 29, 2010
In looking up information on the upcoming election, I found this little list:
1. Think first of the other fellow.
2. Build up the other person’s sense of importance.
3. Respect the other man’s personality rights.
4. Give sincere appreciation.
5. Eliminate the negative.
6. Avoid openly trying to reform people.
7. Try to understand the other person.
8. Check first impressions.
9. Take care with the little details.
10. Develop genuine interest in people.
11. Keep it up.

Thoughts
I won’t dwell on the clear political implications here. Regardless of the politics involved, these are great rules to follow in life and in daily interactions, and I plan to keep them in mind in the future.
