ON RELATIONSHIPS I

I can see this as a first in a series, as relationships, inter-personal, are involved, practically during most of our waking hours. Unless you're a hermit. I'm imparting to you most of what I know, about dealing with people, making and keeping friends, common courtesies, etc. These advises will definitely be invaluable to you in your journeys(you 2).

1. Acknowledgement - Acknowledge people and their achievements, little successes. Nothing hurts more than having your sincerest efforts trivialized.

2. Remembers people's names - They say its the sweetest sound to one's ears. Maybe not, if you're named Lucifer, or maybe Zorayda... Well, Zorayda may be a beautiful name elsewhere... Maybe even Lucifer... :D

3. Be on time - Time is limited. Don't waste other people's time irresponsibly.

4. Thou shalt not lie - Unless you really have to... Life is not black and white. Exercise caution on this one. As telling a lie or witholding information can often backfire and cause you more harm than good.

5. Be everybody's friend - Best to have friends in every corner. Sure helps! :)

6. Show your value but don't be a credit hog

7. Ever thought about this? - Being kind is better than being right... Wonder who said it but you'll know what it means if you don't now.

8. Don't hurt - Especially those that you love. We often take them for granted as they are part of your everyday scene. Better yet, do them good. You'll never know when the time will come when they will have to move on.

9. Count the little things - Be grateful. Look deeply into the value of each gift. What it means especially to the person who gave you it. When you give, also think about what your gift would mean to your giftee. :)

10. Friendship - Be careful not to abuse them, friends. Also, don't tell them secrets you're not willing to let out someday. Keep deep, dark secrets in your personal closet, thank you. You'll thank me a lot for this. Remember this whenever you're thinking about telling a secret to your bestest friend. PRACTICE THE PAUSE.

Others, to follow: Maybe you could help?
