You will never be sorry

The poem below, You Will Never Be Sorry, is one which I got in a mail.
You will never be sorry -

for thinking before acting,
for hearing before judging,
for forgiving your enemies,
for being candid and frank,
for helping a fallen brother,
for being honest in business,
for thinking before speaking,
for standing by your principles,
for stopping your ears to gossip,
for bridling a slanderous tongue,
for sympathizing with the afflicted,
for being courteous and kind to all

In reading this poem, I had to ask the question, what does it mean?
For me, what it boils down to is this: always act, behave, and take
action towards other people, or situations, as you would want to be
treated. Remember, model the behavior you would expect from others,
and don't be swayed from these convictions by those seeking to
belittle your actions.

"Behavior is a mirror in which every one displays his image."
Have a Great Day
