[quote=Anonymous]When my sisters and I were little and made fun of someone who was different, my mom would say, “girls, wouldn’t it be a boring world if we all liked the same things?” I loved that. My sister uses this with her kids: Before you speak: THINK = Is it True? = Is it Helpful? I= Is it Inspiring? N= Is it Necessary? K= Is it Kind? I know another family who has this up on the wall in their home: - Basic Training - 1. If you open it, CLOSE IT! 2. If you turn it on, TURN IT OFF! 3. If you unlock it, LOCK IT! 4. If you break it, REPAIR IT! 5. If you can't fix it, CALL IN SOMEONE WHO CAN! 6. If you borrow it, RETURN IT! 7. If you use it, TAKE CARE OF IT! 8. If you make a mess, CLEAN IT UP! 9. If you move it, PUT IT BACK! 10. If it belongs to someone else, GET PERMISSION TO USE IT! 11. If you don't know how to operate it, LEAVE IT ALONE! 12. If it doesn't concern you, DON'T MESS WITH IT! Any standards in your lives or phrases/ideas you wish you’d implemented?[/quote]
