Another Ten Commandments

The Ten Commandments of Human Relationships

I. Talk to people. There is nothing quite as nice as being greeting with a friendly, “hello.”
II. Smile. Because it is so much easier. Did you know it takes seventy-two muscles to frown
and only fourteen to smile? Go the easy route. Smile.
III. Call people by their name. Everyone wants to be remembered. Don’t you?
IV. Be nice. Pretend you are having a good time when all else fails.
V. Take an interest in others. People want to feel valued and appreciated.
VI. Heap on the praise. We lose nothing by thanking people and telling them how good they
are.
VII. Be stingy with criticism.
VIII. Try empathy. If you were in their “shoes” what would you do?
IX. Think before speaking. A single moment of thought can save a relationship.
X. Help. If someone needs something run to assist them.

Of course, now in the 21 st century we must ask: are we better or worse for it?
