Ten Commandments of Human Relations

1. SPEAK TO PEOPLE. There is nothing as nice as a cheerful word of greeting.

2. SMILE AT PEOPLE. It takes 72 muscles to frown, only 14 to smile.

3. CALL PEOPLE BY NAME. The sweetest music to anyone's ear is the sound of his/her own name.

4. BE FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL. If you would have friends, be a friend.

5. BE CORDIAL. Speak and act as if everything you do is a genuine pleasure.

6. BE GENUINELY INTERESTED IN PEOPLE. You can like almost everybody if you try.

7. BE GENEROUS with praise and cautions with criticism.

8. BE CONSIDERATE with feelings of others. There are usually three sides to a controversy: your, the other person's, and the right side.

9. BE ALERT to give service. What counts most in life is what we do for others.

10. ADD TO THIS a good sense of humor, a big dose of patience, and a dash of humility, and you will be rewarded many-fold.
