作者Jordan Standridge  译者牧者之杖

准则一:热切地开始当天的主要工作。

准则二:不要因为很忙或时间很少而牢骚,而是要每时每刻都最好地利用时间。

准则三:收到信函时绝不要发怨言。

准则四:绝不要夸大你的责任,仿佛你在肩负重担,而是要把所有的责任当成自由和快乐。

准则五:绝不要故意让人注意你的工作压力或微不足道的经历。

准则六:在把证据摆在某人面前或责备他之前,要先祈求神赐给你对犯错之人的真爱。要清楚明白事实;下判断时要宽容。要不然,你出于好意的责备可能会无效、很难理解,也许会触怒对方。

准则七:不要听信你听到的所有事;不要传播流言。

准则八:不要为了过去的服侍希求表扬、尊敬或看重。

准则九:当人不征求你的建议或看法,或者征求后放弃时,要避免抱怨。

准则十:绝不要让自己与别人相比时把自己显得更好。

准则十一:不要努力把谈话转移到你自己的需要和利益上。

准则十二:不要寻求眷顾或怜恤,也不要请求关心,但如果有人向你表达出这些,你要接受。

准则十三:要承担责备;不要推卸或转移责任。

准则十四:当别人因你的努力或主意得到赞扬时,要献上感恩。
