There are things we must nurture and protect. They make
us better people. And the world is a better place for it.
Honesty is something to be encouraged. We cannot improve
what we refuse to see. Many are highly practiced in the art of self-deception.
Appreciation is also important. Recognize a person's
strengths, and not just their weaknesses. Be the one who builds up instead of
tearing down.
Consideration goes along with this. Be mindful of others.
Your actions affect them, so make sure what you do is actually for the
best.
Compassion is to be highly prized. Those who care
for others should never find themselves forsaken. They cannot solve the world's
problems, but they can be part of the solution.
Treat others the way you wish to be treated. It is an old
saying, but the longevity is due to the soundness. A caring person makes everything
better just by being who they are.
So very true on every point! A man must lay his foundation with integrity and build his house with love.
