While waiting in the Yuma Police Department to ride along with an officer I picked up a publication entitled "Ten Hints For Getting Along Better With Others." This document, prepared by APS Healthcare, whose slogan is "Helping people lead healthier lives", has information that would help everyone lead a better life. Those ten hints are:
1. Guard your tongue. Say less than you think.
2. Be cheerful. Don't dwell on minor aches and small disappointments.
3. Make promises sparingly. Keep them faithfully.
4. Never let an opportunity pass to say a kind word.
5. Be interested in others, their pursuits, work, families.
6. Keep an open mind. Disagree without being disagreeable.
7. Live so that nobody will believe ill-natured remarks about you.
8. Discourage gossip. It's destructive and unproductive.
9. Don't be anxious about getting credit. Just do your best and be patient.
10. Be careful of other's feelings.
