Over the past five decades, Jim has compiled a collection of personal guiding principles. He calls them Jim's Golden Rules. Some were established when he was a teen and have continually been a part of his thinking and daily life. Others have found their way onto the list after life experiences - some good and some not so good. They can work for anyone, of any age. Maybe they'll work for you.

​

One need not adhere to all these golden rules to be a good person. They're not commandments. They're more like advice or suggestions. Your interpretation may be different. One thing for sure though; you must be a good person in order to be a good mentor. No exceptions.
