Hi everyone, I hope that you are in good spirits.  Here is a quick joke. “Why did the thief keep his word?” Ans: “Because no one would take it.”

There are over 170 00 words in the English/Australian language. On average, a person will use a range of about 500 to 800 different words in a day. Some statistics say that a person, on average, speaks a total of 7000 words in a day, which varies according to their personality, job, etc. We live in a world of many words.

However, people seem to be confused and at times are not sure what to think about what a person has said. Are they telling the truth? Have they left out important information? Do I need to read between the lines?

There are 2 Golden Rules we should live by.

“Treat others as you would want them to treat you.” is the first golden rule. If you want friends, be a friend. If you want understanding, be understanding. If you want kindness, be kind. If you want help, help others. If you want honesty, be honest.

The second golden rule is, “Say what you mean and mean what you say.”

Food for thought. Have a wonderful week.
