Socrates’ Three Rules for communication

Reference: Socrates?

Before reporting something you’ve heard (especially about a person), it should pass all three of these tests:

TRUTH - Have you made absolutely sure that what you are about to repeat is true?

GOODNESS - Is what you are about to say something good?

USEFULNESS - Is what you want to tell me going to be useful to me?
