This reminds me of a poem by Beth Day written back in the early part of last century:
"Three Gates of Gold"
If you are tempted to reveal/A tale to someone has told/About another, make it pass,/Before you speak, three gates of gold
These narrow gates. First, "Is it true?"/Then, "Is it needful?"In your mind/Give truthful answer. And the next/Is last and narrowest, "Is it kind?"
And if to reach your lips at last/It passes through these gateways three,/Then you may tell the tale, nor fear/What the results of speech may be.
Good stuff, I will use it in the future!
Being prior service I'm usually drawn towards acronyms. This is one that I'll have to keep handy!
Do you mind if I re-post it on my blog?
Absolutely..Repost that'd be great
Thank you for letting me re-post this. I shared some of my own thoughts on how THINK affected me and what brought about my desire to share it. Thanks again.
