THE ART OF THE COUNSELOR

-THE ART OF THE COUNSELOR-

In time to listen, He hears everything

sees everything, and speaks nothing.

In time to speak, He says the right

and never the wrong.

In time to judge, He uses his heart

more than his mind.

In time to decide, He uses his mind

more than his heart

He commands without force

convinces wtihout argument

and clarifies without sermons.

He attracts without flattery

Be friends without familiarity

and consoles without pity

To the helpless, He is a motivating

force not a crutch.

To the lost, He is a sign post not

the road.
