Personal Code of Conduct

Code of Conduct
I will never….
·       Be dishonest in my dealings with my fellow man
·       Let others opinion of me rule my life
·       Sacrifice the hard for the easy way out of a situation
I will always….
·       Work hard and be nice
·       Have a smile on my face
·       Treat others with respect even when others don’t.


This week for class we were asked to write about our personal code of conduct. I wanted to expand on my personal code for my blog post. In a world today where people do not have a code of conduct on the internet, in the workplace or on the road. It's always good to stop and reflect on my own conduct and do I really live by what I say I will?

I say I will never be dishonest with my dealings with my fellow man. I believe that honesty is the best policy. If I am going to do something I am going to do it and not lied that I didn't do it. I am not a good faker or liar. I giggle if I try too, I would be terrible at poker.

I will never, let others opinion of me rule my life. I understand that I might not be the coolest person around but I don't have to let those opinions of others drag me down. I need only to care what my Heavenly Father thinks of me, as well as, my family. Everyone else I don't need to know.

I am a fighter and I don't want to be seen as taking the easy road in life. I would take the hard road any day, so that I might be able to learn from my mistakes.

I want to work hard and be nice. I have this hanging in my house as a daily reminder to me and my family that we always work hard but we are to be nice to others in the process. There are so many that work hard but because they get stressed out from the hard work they are not nice about it.

I know that smiling brings on the wrinkles but I even when I am not feeling the best it's better to have a smile on my face then to have a grumpy face.

There are times when I have been called terrible names at work. That people have yelled at my boss because they thought I was a terrible person. When they got done saying all of those terrible things, I still had to work with them. I had to act as nothing had happened. I showed those individuals that even though they didn't like me, I was still going to treat them with respect and kindness. That is the "adult" thing to do. Because I want my leaders to know that I can still be leader when I am not liked and those that don't like me will look bad not me.

Motivation

Motivate-to be moved to do something, that is my definition. Something as a parent that I have always struggled with is good motivation to my children. I don't know if I have found the answers yet? But I have found the things that I don't do well that I need to make changes. Dr. Haim Grinott, said in his book, Lessons to Guide your parenting,  "Parents speak intimately, they speak to the heart, when they adopt a language of caring, which is sensitive to their children's needs feelings. It not only helps children to have a positive image of themselves that is confident and secure but teaches them to treat their parents with respect and consideration." With teenagers, there are times when no matter what you say will motivate them to do anything. I have tried to talk more gently towards my teens ans give them expectations of what I would like to see from their work. By spending time and talking about what I would like them to do and then pitching in to do the wor

Being sick wastes my weekend

I don't like being sick. I get sick all the time. Some one gets the slightest cold around me and then I am sick for weeks. I don't understand it. I keep a clean house. There is no mildew, or gross whatever lurking around in my house. I wipe down counters, clean bathrooms.  Sometimes I'm to much of clean freak. I think it's because I don't like being sick.  There were a few people at work that had been sick and now their sickness is on me. Last week, it was a cough that hurt so much that, I may or may not wet my pants. But in all seriousness. I thought that taking out my tonsils would solve my life problem with getting sick. I got a flu shot this year too.  The other thing about being sick that I hate is that I'm home sick and all I can think about is how dirty my house is and that I need to clean it. Laundry needs to be folded, floors swept and mopped. bathrooms too.  AAHHHH!!!! (cough, cough) Also I am not a huge fan of cough syrup

My Parenting Skills take-away

By -
Self-care- Marion G. Romney said, "without self-reliance one cannot exercise these innate desires to serve. How can we give if there is nothing there? Food for the hungry can't come from empty shelves. Money to assist the needy can't come from an empty purse. Support and understanding can't come from the emotionally starved. Teaching can't come from the unlearned. And most important of all spiritual guidance cannot come from the spiritually weak.  This time in my parenting class I have learned that I need to take more time for the self-care of mom! This is a scary time in the world and if I'm not stocked in faith, hope and courage, how to I expect my children to feel or know where to turn if I don't teach them? I have thought over the many weeks what types of activities am I showing them by my example of filling my oil lamp to be spiritually fed? I have tried to spend more time on my knees praying for strength to get through school, to help my children m
