Ten Ways to Get Along With Other People
1. Keep a handle on your tongue; always say less than you think.
2. Make promises sparingly and keep them faithfully, no matter what it costs you.
3. Never let an opportunity pass to say a kind and encouraging word to or about somebody.
4. Be interested in others and in their pursuits, their welfare, their homes, and their families.
5. Be cheerful. Keep the corners of your mouth turned up. Hide your pains, worries, and disappointments under a smile.
6. Preserve an open mind on debatable questions. Discuss, but do not argue. It is a mark of a superior mind to disagree and yet be friendly.
7. Let your virtues (we all have some) speak for themselves, and refuse to talk of another's vices.
8. Be careful of the feelings of others. Wit and humour at the other fellow's expense are rarely worth the effort, and may hurt where least expected.
9. Pay no attention to ill-natured remarks about you. Simply live so that nobody will believe them.
10. Don't be too anxious about getting your dues. Do your work, be patient, and keep your disposition sweet. Forget self and you will be rewarded.
