1) Don’t be confrontational. You don’t want to make anyone mad. If someone says something factually incorrect or even bigoted, it is best if you stay quiet. It also helps to offer a polite laugh and nod slightly in agreement.
2) Don’t be judgemental. It is recommended that you view everyone on a morally equal playing field. Don’t call people out if you think their behavior is morally wrong or unacceptable.
3) Don’t draw too much attention to yourself. It is almost impossible for someone to dislike you if they don’t even know you exist.
4) Always take the side of the majority. You don’t ever want to be in the vocal minority. This can turn large groups of uninformed people against you very quickly.
5) Do NOT share your political views. If you stay silent about how you really feel, then friends and loved ones can naturally assume that you agree with them about various issues. Sharing your political views may alienate people who are close to you.
I hope this helps you in your goal of making sure that everyone likes you. Oh, and good luck actually making a difference in this world.
I’m leaving you a warm and fuzzy baaaa!

Yes, the Scrooge “Bah” has only one “a” followed by an “h”
I assume that correcting spelling/grammar would also fall under these guidelines….*sigh* LOL!
Your thoughts made me realize that the whole lot of them follow this creedo. I never fit into it, but no one so perfectly described the rules before. Thank you for helping me understand not only the Swiss move, but human relations..One stop shopping…
You are very welcome. Thanks for visiting my site.
Mike, I just found your blog. I am not worthy. What an excellent mind and writer you are.
Thank you so much. You are too kind.
So, if I only do half of these , I guess I only make a partial difference… at least I make a small wave in this big world of an ocean.
