 Write well
 Legible : it must be able to read by everyone –
or there simply is no point doing it and
it is discourteous not to make the effort.
 Neat : No crossings out, all lines equal , that
sort of thing
 Stylish : A bit of a flourish here and there
 Mature : Rounded letters and joined up
 Consistent : the writing at the bottom of the
page should look like the writing at the top of
the page

 If u can’t say anything Nice –
SHUT UP
 Don’t gossip
Gossiping is the occupation of idle
minds – those who haven’t got enough
work to do.
“ THERE IS ONE PART OF THIS RULE WHICH
IS REALLY, REALLY SIMPLE – DON’T PASS
ANYTHING ON.”

Don’t bitch
Moaning is the time wasting device
invented by sad people who haven’t
enough work to do. And they’re usually
the ones standing next to the ones
gossiping.

“ MOANING IS POINTLESS. IT IS
UNPRODUCTIVE AND ACHIEVES
NOTHING.”

At first this may be quite hard but if you

persevere(continue doing something in spite
of difficulty or lack of success) it becomes
increasingly easy – its all a question of habit
and mental outlook. But if we change a bit
of effort initially to make this change.

SAY NO MATTER WHAT”
