Granville Rule

Speak now or forever hold your peace. If you don't speak up, you don't get fed. Everything moves on pass you if you stay quiet. Used to make decisions faster and more efficiently.

See how that works? That☝️ is what you're doing right now. Why? Because you know that The Golden Rule leads almost exclusively to being exploited by people who aren't willing to reciprocate. Which is the entire impetus behind the creation of The Platinum Rule. And you're doing it. See? This 👇
