T.H.I.N.K. is a mnemonic acronym for judging if given message is worth sending in online communication[1]. It is also used as guidelines for children.[2][3]

Is It Truth?
Is it Helpful?
Is it Inspiring?
Is it Necessary?
Is it Kind?
Socrates three sieves[edit]
In an earlier version of this rule contains only true, necessary and kind conditions.[4][page needed]
It is presented as a story Socrates three sieves or as a quote attributed to Bernard Meltzer:[5]
Before you speak ask yourself if what you are going to say is true, is kind, is necessary, is helpful. If the answer is no, maybe what you are about to say should be left unsaid.
