Here are some 56 Golden Rules to live by, that I’m sure will upset some people
Follow them and you won’t go too far wrong in life.
Here are the last 11. The first 3 groups of 15 have been posted on previous days
46. Listen with a heart of compassion and an ear of mercy. Make your reply using gentle words, words of compassion. Don't take sides when there is no opposition.
Don't respond to another's well thought out idea impulsively.
If we learn to be good listeners we will receive good information.
47. Quitting is always simpler than enduring. But it produces a pattern that's hard to break; one you live to regret.
48. The road to success has many potholes.
You'll fall into some - and they're messy.
Not only will you have to climb back out, you'll have to dust yourself off, refocus, recommit, and keep going.
Since failure is inevitable, why not make it your friend by examining each experience and growing stronger through it?
49. 'Success is not measured by the heights you attain, but by the obstacles you overcome in its attainment.
50. Betrayal is something you do to others. Bitterness is something you do to yourself.
51. Successful people have one thing in common: they refuse to quit! No matter how many times they fall, they get back up, dust themselves off, learn from it, and start over.
52. 'The measure of success is not whether you have a tough problem to deal with, but whether it is still the same problem you had last year.'
53. 8 rules to live by
(1) If you've a problem with me, come and see me privately. I'll do the same for you.
(2) If someone else has a problem with me and comes to you, send them to me. I'll do the same.
(3) If someone won't come to me, say, 'Let's go see him together.' I'll do the same.
(4) Be careful how you interpret me - It's too easy to misinterpret intentions. I'll also be careful how I interpret you.
(5) If it's confidential, don't tell. If you or anyone else comes to me in confidence, I won't tell, unless they're going to harm themselves, harm someone else, or a child has been physically or sexually abused. I expect the same from you.
(6) I don't read unsigned letters.
(7) I don't manipulate. I won't be manipulated. Don't let others manipulate you. And don't let others try to manipulate me through you.
(8) When in doubt, just say so. If I can answer without misrepresenting something or breaking a confidence, I will.
54. Character – the ability to carry on a resolution after the mood, in which it was made, is past.
55. Success lies in daily routine.
Be of service to someone every day.
Tackle a problem bigger than yourself.
Encourage everyone you meet.
Overcome a bad habit.
Do something for someone who can't repay you.
Ask for help when you need it.
56. 'Remember, life is nothing more than the sum total of many successful years;
- a successful year is nothing more than the sum total of many successful months;
- a successful month is nothing more than the sum total of many successful weeks;
- a successful week is nothing more than the sum total of many successful days.
That's why practicing successful habits, day in and day out, is the most certain way to win over the long term.'
