Rules For Getting Along With Others * Say little. When you do, make it count. * Promise rarely and always keep them. * Deliver praise whenever possible, and criticism when helpful. * Be interested in others. * Don't share your minor unhappinesses. * Keep an open mind. * Don't discuss your own virtues or others' vices. * Be gentle with others' feelings. * Live so that nobody will believe negative rumors about you. * Don't worry about getting credit.
