CHAPTER 23
The Effortless English Code and Mission
The Effortless English™ community is held together by our purpose,
code, mission and values. Obviously, our main purpose is to help you speak
English powerfully and correctly. We share, however, a deeper code,
mission and values.
It is the code, mission and values that have created our positive and
enthusiastic community, with members from every continent of all ages,
genders, and types of people. The code of Effortless English™ is our
simple, three part code of conduct. All members of our community, upon
joining, agree to follow the code.
The Code of the Effortless English Club™ is:
1. We Do The Best We Can
2. We Do The Right Thing
3. We Show Each Other We Care
We do the best we can means that we try hard to improve but we know
that perfection is impossible. We don’t worry about perfection. We don’t get
upset about mistakes. Our focus is always on improvement, not “the one
right answer.”
We do the right thing means we do not lie, gossip, or insult other
members. We treat each other as good friends and family members. We
follow “the Golden Rule” by being kind and polite within our community.
We show each other we care means we go beyond just avoiding negative
behavior. Rather, we actively encourage and support other members. When
another member is feeling bad, we encourage them. When another member
succeeds, we cheer them, congratulate them, and compliment them
sincerely. We are always looking for ways to help each other.
