Ignore the other ten percent
Back in 1966 when I was being bullied in sixth grade, my wise old grandmother introduced me to the 80/10/10 rule, a subset of the 80/20 rule. She said,
“Ten percent of people will hate you simply because that’s the kind of people they are.
Ten percent of people will love you simply because that’s the kind of people they are.
The other eighty percent will love or hate you based on your words and actions.
Make ninety percent of the people you meet a part of your life and ignore the other ten percent.”

Wise advice from your grandmother.
BE ENCOURAGED! BE BLESSED!
Man you had a wise Grandma… I would loved to been able to sit and talk to her for an hour or two… are you as wise as her..????…. (think carefully before you answer)
Definitely not. She had a first grade education and a doctorate from the School of Hard Knocks. All I have is a Bachelor of Science from Texas A&M University.
Good answer…
Good advice from your WOG!

Reblogged this on Teacher as Transformer and commented:
Here is a message I am learning to work with. I tend to worry about the 10% who I should not concern myself with as much.
Wisdom like this should be posted on classroom walls in all grades. It’s like a warm hug in what for some can be a very cold harsh world.
I like your old granny
Thank you for these wise words of YWOG
Great advice! Thanks for sharing it.
Russel, you really ought to write a YA novel on your experiences as a kid, with your WOG figuring prominently.
Sounds like sage advice to me.Thank for this post and all the great photo posts.
