The document provides eleven proven ways to get along better with everyone. It advises asking yourself three questions before speaking to determine if what you say is true, kind, and necessary. It also recommends making and keeping promises, giving compliments, refusing to gossip, having an open and forgiving view of others, keeping an open mind when discussing disagreements, counting to 1,000 before reacting, letting virtues speak for themselves, considering criticism for truth, cultivating humor, focusing on understanding others rather than being understood, and loving others rather than seeking love. The overall message is to apply biblical principles to continuously improve personal relationships.

1. Eleven Proven Ways to Get Along
Better With EVERYONE

2. Before you say anything to anyone, ask yourself 3 things:
1. Is it true?
2. Is it kind?
3. Is it necessary?

3. Make promises sparingly and keep them faithfully

4. Never miss the opportunity to compliment or say something
encouraging to someone

5. Refuse to talk negatively about others; don't gossip and
don't listen to gossip

6. Have a forgiving view of people. Believe that most people
are doing the best they can

7. Keep an open mind; discuss, but don't argue.
(It is possible to disagree without being disagreeable.)

8. Forget about counting to 10. Count to 1,000 before doing
or saying anything that could make matters worse

9. Let your virtues speak for themselves

10. If someone criticizes you, see if there is any TRUTH to what
he is saying; if so, make changes. If there is no truth
to the criticism, ignore it and live so that no one will
believe the negative remark

11. Cultivate your sense of humor; laughter is the shortest distance
between two people.
Do not seek so much to be consoled, as to console; do not seek so
much to be understood, as to understand; do not seek so much to
be loved as to love

12. I pray that all of us will keep these points in mind and the
Biblical principles behind them so that we can continuously
improve our personal relationships with others wherever we
are
