But, what does it really mean? And how do you follow it? A grandfather explains to his grandson that the Golden Rule means you "treat people the way you would like to be treated. It's golden because it's so valuable, and a way of living your life that's so simple, it shines."

Following the Golden Rule is something everyone can do, which means that every person-old or young, rich or poor-can help make the world a better place.
