1. Thou shalt love people not just use them.
The greatest thing in the world is a person. The greatest thing about a
person is his motive, and the greatest motive is love.
2. Thou shalt develop by understanding.
"If every man's care were written on his brow, how many would our pity share?
Who bears our envy now?"
3. Thou shalt compliment more than criticize.
You had better cover your neighbor's fault with a cloak of charity. You may
need a circus tent to cover your own.
4. Thou shalt not get angry.
If you are right, you don't need to. If you are wrong, you can't afford to.
5. Thou shalt not argue.
It's no use to win the argument and lose the people. Beware of the attitudes
which say: "In matters controversial, my attitude is fine. I always see two
points of view: The one that's wrong and mine."
6. Thou shalt be kind.
You had better be kind to people you meet on the way up. They are the same
ones you meet on the way down. It's nice to be important, but it's important
to be nice.
7. Thou shalt have a sense of humor.
A sense of humor is to a man what sprints are to a wagon. It saves a lot of
jolts.
8. Thou shalt smile.
Did you know that it takes 72 muscles to frown and only 14 to smile? No man
is ever fully dressed until he has a smile on his face. "Powder your face
with sunshine, put on a great big smile."
9. Thou shalt practice what thou preachest. One example is worth on thousand
arguments.
10. Thou shalt go to school to the headmaster of the universe, the master of
men, the secretary of human relations... the greatest leader... the world has
ever known (Your higher power).
