Ten Commandments for Getting Along With People...

“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another." – John 13:34.

Relationships are truly the spice of life. When we get to the end of our life who wants to be the richest man in the cemetery? Not me, but I do want to be rich in loving relationships.

I have no idea who the author is, but I have read the following commandments for getting along with people:

1. Speak to people – There is nothing as nice as a cheerful word of greeting.

2. Smile at people – It takes seventy-two muscles to frown and only fourteen to smile.

3. Call people by name – The sweetest music to anyone's ears is the sound of his or her name.

4. Be friendly and helpful – if you have friends, be friendly.

5. Be cordial – Speak and act as if everything you do is a genuine pleasure, but…make sure that it is.

6. Be genuinely interested in people – You can find something interesting about every person.

7. Be generous with praise… and cautious with criticism.

8. Be considerate of the feelings of others – It will be appreciated.

9. Be thoughtful of the opinion of others – There are three sides to a conversation or argument: yours, the other persons, and the right one!

10. Be alert to give service – What you do for others is important.

End of the day, we all would like to be treated and loved by each one we meet.

So why not be a friendly person and a channel of love to every person we encounter. 

Above all, we will be the light and salt of the earth and give glory to our Father in heaven. Hallelujah!

Stay Blessed!
