Follow the Golden Rule

Last weekend I had a date with my eldest daughter at Mall of Asia in Pasay. As it was too hot to stay outside of the mall, we decided to chill a bit inside FullyBooked where we browsed through several magazines and books. I came across Ethics 101 and found this book really an eye opener. It basically strengthen my belief more that I am in the right path with my decision not to go abroad to earn big for my family, when i read - "People who go for the golden rule .. sacrifices finances for family. People who go for the gold.. sacrifices family for finances".

Below are some part of the book that I really love to share.

"I believe there are two basic faith to achievement a person can choose. You can go for the gold, or you can go for the golden rule" . by John C. Maxwell

The Golden Rule:  "Do unto others, what you want others do unto you."

People Who Go for the Gold	People Who Go for the Golden Rule
Ask, “What can you do for me?”	Ask, “What can I do for you?”
Make convenient decisions.	Make character decisions.
Sacrifice family for finances.	Sacrifice finances for family.
Develop a rationale for their actions.	Develop relationships with their actions.
Possess a “me first” mind-set.	Possess an “others first” mind-set.
Count their dollars.	Count their friends.
Base their values on their worth.	Base their worth on their values.
