Pronoun_Noun

Because a pronoun refers back to a noun or takes the place of that noun, you must use the correct pronoun in order for your reader to know which noun the pronoun is referring to. There are of course some rules which we can look at one at a time.....
***
RULE 1.: If the pronoun takes the place of a singular noun it must be singular as well. Example of incorrect use: If a person defecates here, they will be penalised. Correct this to : If a person defecates here, he will be penalised.
***
RULE 2.: Use the same person throughout the text. This means that if you are writing in the first person (I), you must not confuse your reader by switching to either the second person (you) or third person (he, she, they, it, etc.). Likewise, if you are using the third person don't switch to the first or second person. Example of incorrect use: When a person is born, they bring their destiny along with them. Correct this to: When a person is born, he brings his destiny along with him.
***
RULE 3.: Don't be vague about the noun. Example of incorrect use: Although the spoon feel on the floor, it did not get dirty. Ask yourself what did not get dirty the spoon or the floor? Correct this to : Although the spoon fell on the floor, the spoon did not get dirty.
***
RULE 4.: There are some words that may sound plural but are singular and thus take singular pronouns. These words are -- everybody, anybody, each, anyone, neither, nobody, a person someone.

***
Example of incorrect use: Everybody should do their best to succeed in life. Change this to: Everybody should do his or her best to succeed in life.
***
You could also reconstruct the sentence using a plural noun. This way you will use a plural pronoun as well-- You must all to your best to succeed in life.

MURPHY'S MAXIM: SMILE, BECAUSE TOMORROW IS GOING TO BE WORSE....

This moment is all. Buddha insists very much: Live in the moment. And desire does not allow you to live in the moment. And you go on repeating the same things, you move in circles. Just watch your life, look back. You have been moving in circles: the same anger, the same sex, the same greed, the same ambition, the same postponement and the same desiring mind. When are you going to wake up?

MURPHY'S MAXIM: YOU CAN FOOL ALL OF THE PEOPLE SOME OF THE TIME AND SOME OF THE PEOPLE ALL OF THE TIME, BUT YOU CAN'T FOOL YOUR OWN WOMAN.

Nobody can be fool a woman for the simple reason that she does not function through logic; she functions through love, through the heart. He process is illogical; she simply jumps to the conclusions. Her process is like a quantum leap: she immediately understands, she can see through and through. The more you try to hide from her, the simpler it is for her to find it out. Women are powerful not in the muscular sense but as far as their resistance is concerned, as far as their life energy is concerned, as far as their tolerance is concerned.

MARPHY'S MAXIM: THE MAN WHO CAN SMILE WHEN THINGS GO WRONG HAS THOUGHT OF SOMEONE HE CAN BLAME IT ON.

Everybody is trying to blame his misery on somebody else. And that is how we remain in misery, because this blaming is not going to help. In the first place it is wrong-- nobody else is the cause of your misery; the cause is within you. You are living with a fallacy. But even if you are living with a fallacy, the mind enjoys the idea that somebody else is responsible. "I am not responsible"; you feel a relief.

MURPHY'S MAXIM: I BELIEVE IN LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT BECAUSE IT SAVES TIME

When you are going to fall, then why wait? Fall at the first sight. At least time is saved if nothing else. When a person is in love with someone and by love I don't mean the love of the Buddhas; their love is totally different. They are talking about prayers, compassion, a desire-less expression of their being.

I am talking about your love. You are almost in a hypnotic state. A man in love with a woman, or a woman in love with a man is no longer able to see clearly. The mind becomes clouded, the desire creates so much smoke, it raises so much dust that you can't see clearly. And whatsoever you see is your own projection....... OSHO INTERNATIONAL FOUNDATION
