1. Guard the spoken word with the same level of privacy requested when it was entrusted to you. Do not take it with you to other discussions. Trust and integrity demand that you can be relied on to keep private conversations private. Respect the privacy of others, it is important!-Patinspire

2. Do not judge what you do not understand. Do not claim to understand what you do not. It creates a barrier to learning and inhibits personal growth. It is okay not to know but at the same time the fact that you don’t know should drive you to want to shorten that knowledge gap.-Patinspire

3. Know that there are people in this world who do not have the same value system as you do. Mean people do mean things to good people. Hold on to your values. Do good especially when it is least expected. When you are thrown thorns, throw back roses! In the long run you will reap the rewards of your goodness.-Patinspire
