Ralph G. Anderson's 19 Points 

Belcan is a business with an incredibly strong foundation and the strength to thrive in the future. The source of that strength can be traced directly to the business philosophy and personal convictions of Ralph G. Anderson, which took root in his childhood and were formalized in a 1995 document known as 19 Points. These statements have such clear and enduring value that new Belcan staff members now receive a copy during employee orientation.

  1. If you have a problem, it's because of how you think. And the only way that you can ever fix a problem is to change your thinking.
  2. If you have a choice of being right or being kind, always choose kind. You always have a choice.
  3. Be part of the solutíon, not the problem. If you are not part of the solution then you are part of the problem.
  4. There is no stress; it is the way you process it in your mind.
  5. Trust in your intuition.
  6. Negative thoughts tear you down; positive thoughts build you up.
  7. Your opinion of me is none of my business.
  8. When you judge a person you define yourself, you want them to be like you.
  9. When you let others people's opinion of you bother you; you let them control you. You have no control of other people's opinion; you have control of your character.
  10. People don't care how smart you are until they find out how much you care.
  11. EGO - Edging God Out
  12. You get treated in life the way you teach people to treat you. If you fight them they fight back; if you give love then you will receive love back.
  13. If you seek happíness for yourself, it wíll always elude you. If you seek happiness for others, you will always receive it.
  14. Listen. You can't learn anything by talking.
  15. Be a leader. One who looks at the overall picture of the company, not just at part of the company.
  16. A leader doesn't care who gets the credit.
  17. You control your thoughts, your thoughts control your emotions, therefore you control your emotions - don't blow up.
  18. We live to be happy and to have fun. It's all internal.
  19. This is my way - what is your way - the way does not exist.
