How To Behave And Why -- Chapter WISE

We
get along with people and we make good friends
when we have polite manners like :

Shaking hands when we meet.
* *
Smiling and saying “good morning” or “good afternoon” or else.
* *
Saying “goodbye” when we leave and thanking people when
they have been nice to us.
* *
Saying ”Please” when we want something and “Excuse me” or
“I beg your pardon,” when we bump into something, or belch or yawn or cough or sneeze.
( And when we yawn or cough we cover our mouths. )
* *
Waiting for other people to finish talking before we start.
* *
Letting ladies and girls be “first”.
* *
Helping very old and very young people as much as we can, and being quiet and gentle
when we are them.
* *
Eating quietly without sprawling and grabbing or quarreling at the table. Asking to be excused when we have finished eating and are ready to leave.
* *
Being quiet and orderly when we go to places where there are a lot of other people – like libraries, movies or museums, theatres or classrooms, or in trains, street cars or busses.
* *
By never acting as though we were the only people in the world who counted, and never acting fresh and showing off to make people believe that we think we are better than they are.


“ I
can’t always be right
no matter who I am”
is a good thing for all
of us to remember.


Others people have ideas and thoughts
ways to do things
ways to work
ways to play
ways they think of GOD
and their country
and their race.
Their way can be just as right
as your way.
Remember that, and be glad you
have a chance to choose
the best of all ways.

Sailing
Together in a boat is a lot like learning to live with other people and be happy.


We learn to obey and
after a while we
learn to command
and help to make
the world a
better place
for all of us.

End
of the book is
what this is,
and if
YOU
Learned
to be

HONEST * FAIR * STRONG * WISE

Then you have learned

HOW TO BEHAVE AND WHY

How To Behave and Why - Chapter STRONG

YOU HAVE TO BE STRONG

Some
People think that being strong
is just a matter of having muscle like a gorilla.
But they are wrong.


That alone never made anybody happy.
Real strength comes from having a clean,
healthy mind and a clean, healthy body.

Think

it out for yourself.
All the power of sixty gorillas won’t do you any good
if you use it stupidly,
and if you don’t stay healthy
you might as well be a run down.

Any brave man or woman
can tell you that having a clean healthy mind comes
from taking the time to think what is right
and then doing it no matter how scared you are or
when it would be easier to do wrong or even
if somebody else tries to talk you into it.

Regular
habits are the answer to the question :
How can we grow from a weak baby to a strong
and healthy man or woman ?
Eating the right food when we should.

Keeping clean
Playing and exercising
Sitting and standing right and
Getting the right amount of sleep and rest are
HOW TO GET GROW WELL AND STRONG


Of
Course you can argue


With people who know better than you, but it’s stupid.
Doctors and scientists study and learn what is the best way to keep ourselves healthy.

Our fathers and mothers learn from them and tell us.

They know a lot more than we do,
and if we are bright, we do what they tell us to.

Now
Is the best time
to start doing what you are told to do
for you own good health.

You can ask your parents to tell you
WHY
They want you to obey,
BUT

Don’t Nag
and
Whine
and
Grumble
and
Cry

every time you just don’t want to do what is right.

Grown ups
aren’t some kinds
of weird monsters


that have fun
making us do things
we don’t want to do.
They just know a
Whole lot more than we do
Because they have been here longer.


Listen
to what they tell you
and you will be surprised how right
they usually are.
We all are different in many ways,

But
we are all alike in many ways too.
If we are
HONEST
and
FAIR
and
STRONG
We won’t find it hard to be wise.
