Do you want to be a good person? Do you want other people to be nice to you? Here’s the easiest way to help make that happen.

Use the Golden Rule.

You probably know this one already – “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you” or simply “treat other people the way you want to be treated”. Just think about something for a minute – when people are nice to you, aren’t you usually nice to them? So if you are nice to other people, they’ll usually be nice to you. Not always, since some people just don’t have good manners or are selfish or mean. But almost everyone in this world is pretty nice, and if you’ll be nice to them, I bet they’ll be nice to you. Use your good manners when you talk to others. Apologize when you are wrong. Don’t blame others. Take turns. Offer to help. Say something nice or keep your mouth shut. Listen when others are talking. Help someone to feel better. It’s not hard. Try to remember how you want to be treated, then treat other people that way. You can do it.

When you use the Golden Rule, it helps you to be a good person. And it helps other people to be good too.

Be good, strong & safe.
