Some Tests To Better Your Life And The World

While musing as usual, I remembered the following TESTS that can better your life, give you happiness and make the world a better place. The Triple Filter Test was developed by Socrates, an ancient Greek philosopher who was reputed to hold knowledge in high esteem who said, “Before you tell someone what you have been told or heard about him or her, you have to make absolutely sure that what you are about to tell him or her is true. You have to make sure that what you are about to tell, is something good. And you have to be sure that what you want to tell, shall be useful to him or her.” A lot of the problems in the world would disappear if we talk to each other, instead of about each other.

And The Four Way Test of the things we think, say or do developed by Rotary which states, “Is it the TRUTH? Is it FAIR to all concerned? Does it promote GOOD WILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIP? Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?” The 4-Way Test is now being used successfully around the world in businesses, governments and schools as an effective measuring stick for conduct. It is a guide to RIGHT thinking. If memorized and constantly applied to relations with others, it will make a definite contribution towards more effective and friendlier relationships. If you get into the habit of checking your thoughts, words and deeds against the 4-Way Test, the experience of others has shown that it will help you become happier, more successful and help to make the world a better place.
