12 Rules for life! - part 3

Tell the truth, or at least, don't lie :

Social trust is a difficult thing to achieve and can be quickly lost through an indiscretion or even a simple misunderstanding. Social trust is crucial and not just for well-functioning businesses but also for sustaining the forward progress of society and the happiness of the individuals within that society. The truth in this instance comes with a big tea. It's a conglomeration of personal truth of experiences the keeping of promises and contracts and the accurate description and understanding of reality. Here's a little example you might say that 70 degrees is warm and I might say that 70 degrees is cold in a sense we are both telling our own truths even if they're different the important part is to tell your own truth.

Assume that the person you're listening to might know something that you don't :

If what you hold to be true must be forced upon others? Is that true that you hold really that powerful? A part of the truth is that you shouldn't have to proclaim it others should find it through their own research. If it's so true and righteous then it should be able to withstand honest scrutiny and either emerge stronger be modified or be cast aside as a lie. Social progress and personal development will only happen if people are willing to take a deep look at themselves and realize that while they might know a great many things and comparison to the great sea of all human knowledge in the cosmos any one person knows practically nothing. I think this can be some down into being humble because if you're humble you will always listen to other people.

Be precise in your speech :

When two or more people debate or discuss a particular topic, precision in speech is very important because without it. It becomes impossible to understand exactly what is being discussed. For example, If there's an argument between a couple it does no good to judge up things in the past. Instead, you should try to focus on what's causing the problem right now. Don't use a paint roller when a fine brush will do. As another example, when some people save faith what they mean is belief without evidence while other people mean complete trust. And these are two very different things and I suppose the difference is the cause of many debates. For example, you might have a belief without evidence that when you sit in a new chair that it will hold you up. Even if you have no evidence of the chairs weight limits or you've never seen someone else sit in it. However, you might also have complete trust that when you sit down in the same chair. That you've sat in for years which again is a form of evidence that the chair will hold you up. In both cases, the people will say that they had faith that the chair would hold them up but they mean different things being able to describe exactly what you do not understand or what makes you unhappy or unproductive is the first step in improving any situation if there is a problem the first step is to clearly define it.

Do not bother children when they're skateboarding : 

As mentioned earlier, There are two detrimental styles of parenting permissive and Authority. An area even more prevalent today is the style of helicopter parenting. Now, this kind of parenting is very controlling but it comes with a warm Pleasant and helpful face the helicopter parent lives a life of perpetual fear for their child that maybe their child will eat a piece of Halloween candy that contains a razor blade. This kind of thinking leaves children unprepared for the rough and tough environment of the school. unsure of how to navigate novel social situations and completely unable to take appropriate and calculated risk whenever they become adults. Skateboarding teaches children about their own limits and it uses the pain of failure as a learning tool for setting boundaries which as you know can be modulated as your skill increases. You can do more difficult tricks skateboarding along with other physically demanding activities teaches children, how to handle their own fear and when to push against it. Ultimately you end up with two very different children who will grow up in two very different adults risk-takers and the risk-averse each of these types of adults has its strengths and to put it bluntly. If your house or apartment building catches fire who do you want rushing in to rescue you one who knows how to control their fear or one who is dominated by it.

Pet a cat when you encounter one on the street :

The point here is, not to seek out every cuddly creature on the sidewalk or in the wild and try to give it a pat on the head because some cats are feral and some dogs are service animals. Those are best left alone to their work. What this instead means is that people need to stop what they're doing from time to time and just be present at the moment and appreciate the wonderful beauty and peace that is all around us. You hear on the news all the time about bad things happening but for example, the United States has way fewer murders happening now than happened a hundred years ago almost. everyone has the availability through the wide knowledge of the internet. Basically, everyone has access to clean running water take some time to appreciate the little things.
