Secrets to getting along with practically anyone:
Before you say anything to anyone, ask yourself three things: a) Is it true? b) Is it kind? c) Is it necessary? [This is the most important part of the secret in my opinion]
Always take the opportunity to compliment or to say something encouraging to someone.
Refuse to talk negatively about others; don't gossip, and don't listen to gossip.
Have a forgiving view of people. Believe that most people are doing the best that they can.
Keep an open mind; discuss, but don't argue (it's possible to disagree without being disagreeable).
Forget about counting to 10. Count to 1,000 before doing or saying anything that could make matters worse.
"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."
If you've been experiencing a lot of negativity in your life, try this. You'll be amazed how the negativity diminishes after you've been doing it for a while.
