Enhancing Adult Responses

Always remain focused on facts

Use persuasion rather than

authority to over come opposition

Do not put too much vanity into

any absolute certainty.

BEHAVIOUR: TRANSACTIONAL ANALYSIS

Enhancing Adult Responses

Never discourage thinking.

Do not respect anybody blindly,

for there are always
contrary authority to be found.

BEHAVIOUR: TRANSACTIONAL ANALYSIS

Enhancing Adult Responses

Do not use power to suppress

opinion

Do not fear to be eccentric.

Find more pleasure in intelligent

dissent than passive agreement.

BEHAVIOUR: TRANSACTIONAL ANALYSIS

Enhancing Adult Responses

Be scrupulously truthful even if it

is inconvenient.

Never be too embarrassed to say

that you care and love.

GOOD LIFE IS INSPIRED BY LOVE; AND

GUIDED BY KNOWLEDGE
