See each person as an individual and not as part of a group. All humans from all countries and cultures are equal without regard to race, color, creed or gender. Believe with confidence and trust that the vast majority of people whom you meet, befriend or do business with are more similar than different from you.

People are inherently good. Most people act in good faith. They mean you no harm and would assist you in time of need. Don’t waste your time thinking otherwise. Do not become a party to rumor or gossip.

Reject stereotypes and the divisive and demeaning policies that group people into categories. Be the first to build bridges of tolerance and understanding.

From anywhere in the world, as you read The Action Principles^® and the How Americans Get Rich tips, you will have a positive response. You will be able to think, “yes, this is what I believe.”

Yes, in Nairobi, the shopkeeper who offers quality goods and appreciates his customers is successful.

Yes, in Hanoi, the salesperson who follows up with customers to be sure that the product has met their expectations is successful.

Yes, in Lima, the apartment building owner who insists on a high standard of maintenance will have her units filled with happy tenants.

Yes, in Sydney, the real estate agent who patiently shows a young couple twenty houses and then another twenty houses is likely to sell them a home.

We may be different in very small ways but, as humans, we are remarkably the same with the same fears and dreams and aspirations. To think otherwise is a mistake.
