Living the Golden Rule in Everyday Life

Here are 10 ways not to sabotage yourself: by Rita Coronel Don’t tell people off, it’s not cute, and it yields lots of enemies. Don’t demean people with trendy, smart-aleck phrases such as duhhh or “hello?!!” Stay clear of negative body language. Yelling is not socially acceptable. Don’t invade someone else’s’ personal space. Don’t swear. Don’t order people, ask them. Remember, “please” and thank you” go a long way. Don’t patronize. Try not to build yourself up at another person’s expense. Give others the benefit of the doubt and most importantly, treat people the way you want to be treated. The Bible says: Whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them. Matthew 7:12
