On the Importance and Value of Co-workers
The most important element in all of our endeavor now is the human factor.
10 TIPS FOR GETTING ALONG WITH YOUR CO-WORKERS
1. Consider the possibility you may be wrong. Every one of us receives some criticisms each day. Many of us respond to it by thinking, That fool! How dare she say that I can possibly be wrong. Accept that the criticism might be justified. Maybe you did err. Perhaps there is a better way to do it.
2. Realize that the people around you are not extensions of your fingers and toes. Your friends and co-workers have lives of their own. If one of them is in bad mood, its not your fault, and it's certainly not your fault and it's certainly not your job to cheer the person up.. If your boss shows up for work raging at the world, you don't have to feel angry too. It has nothing to do with you. If a regular customer has a hangover that day and won't close a deal, it's beyond your control. In a very real way, such problems are none of your business.
3. If things don't go the way you want them to that day it's not the end of the world. No one gets to do all the things she wants to do in a day. That's why there's tomorrow. To expect that your day will always go the way you want it to will only make you (a) irritable, (b) waste your time and that of everyone around you, and (c) totally undermine your ability to get along with others.
4. Your job is not to judge or persecute those around you. Spending any significant amount of time judging anything about your colleagues except the quality of what they produce is not your job, Likewise, feeling superior to the people you work with, or even inferior to them is not your job. People who identify with their colleagues get ahead. People who compare do not.
5. Match your actions with your intentions. You judge other people by their actions and you must expect them to judge you accordingly. If someone does you a favor, say thanks. If you are supposed to do something for someone else, do it, Don't promise to do it. Do it. If you are supposed to be somewhere, don't make an excuse. Be there.
6. Remember that feelings come and feelings go. Everyone has had days when she felt as if she might murder everyone in her office, Let the anger and frustration subside. A good sleep, a good meal will do. If you realize that such feelings are, for the most part, fleeting, you can stop yourself from acting on them in harmful, self destructive ways. If you understand that your moods--- and everyone else's-- are subject to change, you can hold back the fury or sarcasm. Remember, you'll spare others’ feelings --- and probably save your job --- by not saying permanently harmful things in a temporary frenzy.
7. Make your colleagues your friends. ''If you want to have a friend, be a Friend'' may sound old fashioned, yet it's nothing but simple logic. If you want your colleagues to like you, give them a reason to like you. Be a friend to them, be supportive of them. When they are overworked, offer to help. When they are discouraged, cheer them up. When they feel outnumbered, be on their side.
8. Look for the good in others, and praise it. You are motivated far more by praise than by criticism.
9. Friends come and go, but enemies accumulate. Its never a good idea to make enemies unless you absolutely have to and there is simply no alternative to doing so. You can make friends with a colleague and be nice to her and have it work out wonderful. But if she moves to another company or town, she’s usually out of your life. But if you get into a prolonged fight with the colleague--- and try to make her an enemy--- she’ll be out there aiming at you, no matter where she is. Bear in mind, it’s a political world. If you make a career out of making enemies and picking fights, someday, in some dark corporate alley, they’ll all be waiting for you. Instead of showing how furious you are, count one to ten then look the other way.
10. Don’t gossip. Hard as it is to resist, gossip always gets back to you. Gossip inevitably hurt’s everyone who touches it. It never in any lasting way adds to your friendship, power or happiness. The people with whom you share gossip will always distract you, because they very well know you may dish them next. Listen, if you must, but if you do join in, do so knowing that it’s like having a little too much to drink. Be prepared for a hangover the next morning.

Take Time to Lead
If we do not really want to follow always – try taking time to lead, you’ll feel tired at the start, but you can rest, the rest of the journey, because they will do the rest of the work along the way while you lead. Everyone will instinctively do this. Look at the personality, task, principle and situation involved --- this appears to be the more balanced approach.
On Marrying your sons and Daughters
Then came the question of marriage. That their children marry the right person with whom they may live always in happy companionship is a concern to parents. Mrs. Daniel A. Poling, whose twelve children all married very well, had a creative idea: If one of them became enamored of someone who didn't seem right, she persuaded that child to bring the friend home to stay for a week. Before the week was up he or she would sense deficiencies, if any, and incompatibility, if any, and the budding romance would wither on the vine. If, however, the person was all right, that would also manifest itself.
