A wish list

If this wish list comes true, the world will be a wonderful place.

EVERYDAY WE experience or see something that makes us sigh and think, "I wish people felt a little bit more responsible towards their job, relationships, society", and so on.

Let us make a list - a list of wishful thinking that will make people and communities live with utmost courtesy and consideration.

Let men of all ages treat others humanely and kindly. Let us
- Do things willingly and
best of all, spontaneously
- Constantly look for
positive attributes in others
- Greet and respond to
greetings
- Look happy and smiling
as often as possible
- Value friends and
friendships
- Accept and give
compliments with
sincerity
- Do not get angry quickly
- Say "I'm sorry" or "I was
wrong"
- Refrain from or avoid
carrying a grudge
- Address adults and peers
with respect
Demonstrate
Responsibility by:
- Handling the property of
others carefully
- Respecting everything in
public domain
- Completing expected
duties and assignments
without being reminded
- Attending to obligations
on time i.e., job,
appointments, dates, and
so on
- Remembering
commitments and keep
them on consistent basis
with individuals and
groups
- Being honest and trust
worthy
- Taking pride in a clean
environment and not add
to the trash already strewn
about the place
- Attending to tasks and
finishing on time
Follow Rules And
Regulations, where
everyone:
- Complies with stated
rules, policies,
expectations,
and guidelines.
- Understands and accepts
that rules are not to be
bent, broken or re-
negotiated to suit
individual needs and
requirements.
- Seeks clarification if rules
and/or expectations
are not clear
- Listens while directions
are being given
- Is committed to contracts
and agreements
- Has ownership and
responsibility towards one's
own actions.
- Seeks justice and fairness
for everyone
- Does not exhibit apathy
towards social injustice
Is this a wish list of a dreamer? Maybe.

But the results will be so awesome that you are stuck in that pleasant dream.
