Extending the Golden Rule

Good manners and proper behavior are always signs of good breeding and upbringing. People like us better when we are polite and gentle, than when we are rough, crude, and impolite.


"Politeness is to do and say. The kindest things in the kindest way."
This maxim we learn in our grades may well be our guide in determining what is polite and what is not. We can also fall back on the Golden Rule: "Don't do and say unto others what you do not want done or said to you."


Skill in relating warmly and positively to others is needed by every person who wants to enjoy
effective and successful living. We can acquire the skill in saying and doing the right thing at the right time. It involves learning to predict the effect upon others of our words and actions and choosing what to say and do accordingly.


Among the most important skills that we have to develop in connection with human relations are the skills of communication. These are talking or relating, listening, gesturing, using facial expressions, writing.


In making and nurturing better relation, it requires patience and much understanding, if you believe that human relation is indispensable make every move towards other a pleasant that will develop better companionship.
