IT'S ABOUT OTHERS… AND THE PRONOUN TEST

“All the happiness there is in this world

Arises from wishing others to be happy.

And all the suffering there is in this world

Arises from wishing oneself to be happy.”

 - Shantideva (687-763)
Indian Buddhist Scholar

THE PRONOUN TEST

When Robert B. Reich was U.S. Secretary of Labor (1993-1996), he had this observation....

“For six months now, I've been visiting the workplaces of America
administering a simple test. I call it “the pronoun test.”

I ask frontline workers a few general questions about the company.

If the answers I get back describe the company
in terms like “they” and “them,” then I know it's one kind of company.

If the answers are put in terms like “we” or “us,”

I know it's a difference kind of company.”

BETTER THAN HUMAN

If you can start you day without caffeine or “pep” pills,
If you can be cheerful and ignore aches, and pains,
If you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles,
If you can eat the same food day after day and be grateful for it,
If you can understand when loved ones are too busy to give you time,

If you can overlook when people take things out on you when, through no fault of yours, something goes wrong,

If you can take criticism and blame without resentment,
If you can face the world without lies and deceit,

If you can conquer tension without medical help,
If you can relax without liquor,
If you can sleep without the aid of drugs . . .

THEN

YOU

ARE

PROBABLY

THE FAMILY

DOG!
