Don't waste precious energy on malice¹ and gossip².

 

Before you tell a story about anybody else, or listen to such a story, ask yourself four questions: 1) Is it true? 2) Is it kind? 3) Is it necessary? and 4) Would I want somebody telling a similar story about me?

 

Don't worry what others think about you; it's none of your business.

 

You can't mind read and you don't have everyone else wired into a lie detector³. Truly, you really have NO IDEA what anyone is REALLY thinking about you. It's a total waste of time and energy to try.
