Golden Rule No Good?

April 11, 2013 No comments yet

I read on line the other day that the Golden Rule is just “No Good”! The author contended that we should not treat others as we would want to be treated because they might have a different idea of how they would like to be treated. As I thought about this I came to the conclusion [...]

The Value of a Good Book

April 8, 2013 No comments yet

Just the other day a close friend of mine jokingly said, “Reading good books is over-rated.” We had a nice discussion about how there is so much knowledge to be gained from reading good books. We also talked about how it can be hard to know which books are the best. There are so many [...]

I was listening to a guy talk the other day and he said something that struck a cord with me. He said: “Just because you married your wife doesn’t mean you deserve her.” That got me thinking about how I treat my wife. We talk all the time here about how to treat others, but [...]

I spent the better part of today taking care of a worker that hurt his thumb. Without getting into detail it was bad but could have been worse. We hold safety meetings every single day we work. Tons of resources and money are spent on these meetings. Safety is truly a priority to the client [...]

Renaissance

Why would I choose a title like renaissance? Because of the words meaning “A rebirth or revival.” That is what I want to do with Life’s Golden Rule Blog. We have been silent because living life has got in the way. We have stopped sending out new emails. Glad to report that we still have [...]

Hi there…I’m a Virgo , somehow split-personalities isn’t appropriate to describe my nature. I have multi-personalities and I am very good at dealing with different people differently. I’ve learned from people of all walks of life what kind of strange people are filled in this world, so if u want to mess around then look [...]
