Excellent advice from the best selling book of all time

By
Managing Real Estate Broker

With estimated total sales of over 5 billion copies, the Bible is widely considered to be the best-selling book of all time.

I hope you enjoy my selection and I always love to receive your comments...

 

1. The tongue is a small thing, but what enormous damage it can do.

2. Control your temper for anger labels you a fool.

 3. Be very careful what you think. Your thoughts run your life.

4. Bad company ruins good morals.

5. God is not mocked for whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap.

6. For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.

7. It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man.

8. Let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger.

 9. Encourage one another and build each other up.

 10. Let all that you do be done with love.

 

When we opened Wittney Estates over 38 years ago we were told by our lawyers that we needed a policy and procedures manual to give to all our agents.

I told them ... no problem... and wrote ours...

"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you"

Our lawyers were not at all happy with our policy and procedures manual so I told them to feel free to add whatever they wanted to it,  just to be sure to leave what I wrote on the front page and in big print.

In all the years that Wittney Estates was open with an average of over 100 agents, we never had a legal issue.

So I guess... "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you is excellent advice".

Hi Beth- I remember my first (and only) Bible. I got it when I was just a kid and it is still by my bed.

I am addicted to reading.. have been since I first learned how to read... however the Bible is my favorite book and it always gives me awesome advice... I read it every day and I also write a letter to our Father every day which I have been doing so for over 20 years... my doctor suggested that I begin my day by writing a letter to the Lord and I will always be grateful to him for doing so... the best thing I ever did receive... Happy Day
