Hello and welcome to this episode.
In this episode we will talk about the golden rule
Maybe you've never heard of the Golden Rule before or it's been a long time since you've heard of it.
The golden rule has been part of almost every culture in the world for almost a few thousand years.
You can see this rule as a basic rule on how people should treat each other.

When you hear this you might think: that sounds good!
But it's actually a negative approach.
How do I know that I'm not pretending to be friendly?

But I don't let the behavior of others have an influence on my behavior.
Why not?
Because I made the golden rule part of my personality.
It wasn’t overnight.
It took some time.
