A message from the late Dr. Deborah Wolfe, Former Chairperson
"We are fortunate in Monroe Township to have a multi-cultural population- all races and all creeds. The Human Relations Commission has pledged to help every citizen and regard every citizen with respect, so that we may achieve a community of, for, and by the people- a true democracy."
The Golden Rules of Human Relations:
-
Speak with people. There is nothing so nice as a cheerful word of greeting.
-
Smile at people. It takes 72 muscles to frown, only 14 to smile.
-
Call people by name. The sweetest music to anyone's ears is the sound of his/her own name.
-
Be friendly and helpful. If you want friends, you must be one.
-
Be cordial. Speak and act as if everything you do is a joy to you.
-
Be genuinely interested in people. You can like almost everyone if you try.
-
Be generous with praise and cautious with criticism.
-
Be considerate with the feelings of others. There are usually three sides to a controversy. Yours, the other person's, and the right side.
-
Be eager to lend a helping hand. Often it is appreciated more than you know. What counts most in life is what we do for others.
-
Add this to a good sense of patience and a dash of humility. This combination will open many doors and the results will be enormous.
