How To Get Along With Others

In his book, The Carpenter and You, the late Dr. Karl Minninger, a world famous psychiatrist, gives these suggestions to help each of us get along with others:

·        Take a personal interest in those around you…learn the first names of those with whom you associate daily.

·        Work hard at controlling your temper.  Practice showing a good attitude even when you do not feel like it.

·        Be slow to condemn but very quick to show appreciation and to compliment.

·        Be willing to ask for forgiveness when you make a mistake.

·        Be quick to forgive when an apology is given to you.

·        Remember that it is more important to find what is right rather than who is right.

·        Be the kind of person that you want the other person to be.
