People In Our Lives
- Speak to People. Even if you do not know their names.
Nothing is as nice as a cheerful word of greeting.
- Smile at People. It takes 72 muscles to frown
and only 14 to smile. Your smile is one of your finest
assets. Use It!
-
Call People by Their Own Name. The sweetest music to anyone's ears is the sound of his/her own name.
-
Be Friendly and Helpful. If you want have friends, *be* one.
-
Be Genuinely Interested in People. If you try, you can like everybody, and everybody will like you.
- Seek Out Different People. Do not limit yourself to
a few friends when there so many likable people around
you.
- Be Generous with Praise. And cautious with
criticism. Who among us does not need the understanding
and tolerance of all our friends.
- Be Considerate of the Feelings of Others. Usually
there are three sides to a controversy - yours, the
other person's, and the right one.
-
Be Alert for a chance to give Service. What we do for others counts most in life.
- Add to this a Good Sense of Humor... A generous dose of patience, a dash of humility, and you will receive many-fold blessings.
