1. Think of Others
A gentle person builds relationships in many “small” ways, such as a friendly greeting, a kind word, or
a thoughtful deed.

2. Choose Words Carefully
Words can hurt and words can heal. Use words to build others up instead
of tearing them down.

3. Handle With Care
It’s easier to protect relationships and property than it is to repair
unnecessary damage.
