The Golden Rule
"Do unto others what you want others will do to you."
The Rule really concerns realizing that if you don't like something to happen to you, other people probably also would not like it happening to them either. It is being considerate of other peoples' feelings.
Cons:
But in the area of trying to please people by offering them something of interest or value, the Golden Rule often breaks down. People may not like what you like.
The Platinum Rule®
"Do unto others what they want others will do to them."
The Platinum Rule® accommodates the feelings of others. The focus of relationships shifts from "this is what I want, so I'll give everyone the same thing" to "let me first understand what they want and then I'll give it to them."
Applying the Platinum Rule® is much more valuable and useful to other people. "Do unto others as they would do unto themselves" means you have listened and observed what the other person wants or needs, and you then try to satisfy those needs.

I've to read more of the The Platinum Rule® because I quite agree with kcatwoman. The rule, at first reading, sounds negative to me.
ReplyDeleteO siguro dahil I abide by the Golden Rule. In simpler term, I think it's what we call karma. Whatever is that you do to others -- be it good or bad -- will ultimately return to you.
hi thoughtskoto, how are you? been so long.. yeah there are many rules but the 'easiest way to reach any goal is through a straight path..'
ReplyDeleteKcatwoman: I was kinda negative at first, but to think about it deeper, ive come to realize The Platinum Rule® is higher level of service. It's like doing things to them because this is what they want and this is what they need, rather than thinking what we want and what we need.
ReplyDeleteDr. Tony: Thanks for pointing that out. I edited the entry already and added the registered logo. Thanks again for the time visiting my page. It's an honor!
Nebz: Yes, right KARMA aka Golden Rule. But that's what we do because that's what others will do to us. Think about it, We help because we want others to help us? We give because we want others to give us too? The Platinum that Dr. Tony was saying is that, we help the kind of help others need, and we give the kind of things others needs (if we can afford it)
But since its a higher rule, i guess few people do it. We abide by the Golden rule, contented of what we can offer. hehe
