Relating to your friends

: Guidelines 1 to 26 of 26
Be a friend.: Want a friend? Be a friend.
Be a mentor.: Mentorship is a legacy of giving, it enriches individuals and society. Education is incomplete without the guidance and wisdom of one who is accomplished and successful.
Be more honest.: Our lives can be very complicated socially and professionally, not being truthful unnecessarily complicates it more and promotes unhappiness.
Encourage others to recycle.: Everyone has been educated in one way or another about the benefits of recycling, but many people still don't do it. It just might take a little bit of peer pressure from a friend to encourage them to think about sorting out their recyclables.
Forgive people when they make mistakes.: Remember that we all make mistakes. If someone does something that causes problems for you, remember that they may not have done so out of spite.
Give a manicure.: Giving a manicure is a nice thing to do on several levels. You are helping someone manage their problem nails and cuticles while you share a little face-to-face hand holding and communication. The manicure exchange is also very nice.
Give flowers to friends and loved ones.: Giving flowers is a very caring and loving gesture whether you purchase an expensive bouquet or pick them fresh from your yard or garden. A single flower is beautiful by itself or you can create a fragrant bouquet by arranging several of them artfully.
Give what money you can to friends in need and do not request repayment.: Cheerfully present an amount of money you can and tell your friends you know they'd do the same for you if you needed some. This behavior will leave everyone comfortable about the help you provided.. charitalble and may help them to be housed and fed.
Help others move.: Moving is a cathartic labor intensive process. Often, the aid of extra person-power and/or a larger vehicle is necessary.
Help out with your friends' children: It's hard to raise children in today's world. Your friends need all of the help they can get.
Invite friends over.: When friends visit, we share our home and open our lives to them. Our hospitality is a treaty of friendship.
Maintain someone's home while they are away.: Leaving home for a number of days can necessitate help maintaining animals, plants, mail etc.; visiting the home of a traveling friend periodically, gives the appearance that someone is living there, thwarting would-be robbers.
Pay back personal loans.: People who lend us money are good people who should be valued highly, and above all, paid back. We can move forward with dignity allowing us to make closer, more authentic connections with people.
Preserve memories by taking photos/video of family and friends.: As we grow up and older, memories begin to fade and people move away or lose touch. By taking photos or video, we can keep these memories and preserve moments that may become lost forever.
Put friends up for the night.: Sometimes friends need a place to stay. Allowing them to stay at your home is very kind and enables one to spend more time with them.
Respect Those With Whom You Disagree: Everybody has a valid point of view. Respect those who disagree with you and try to understand their point of view.
Return phone and email messages.: It is frustrating to leave a message on an answering service or to email someone without them getting back to you. It is important to return contact as soon as is convinient, so a person knows that the message was received.
Say "hello" to your neighbors.: When you see your neighbor our in the yard give a little wave, smile, and say "hello".
Stop fights between others.: Being a peace-maker, by stopping a violent struggle or encouraging resolution to an arguement between friends, may possibly be intrusive and even dangerous, but it positively affects social change immediately and it is very heroic.
Take collections for friends in need.: From time to time one friend or another may become broke. Taking a collection - among friends - of food and/or small amounts of cash can really help a friend in need and it isn't too taxing on any one person.
Tell jokes.: Telling jokes gives a burst of fun and laughter to social settings of any size. Humor takes the pain of life away, making it brighter and more enjoyable.
Try not to SPAM search engines, web sites or individuals.: SPAM is electronic junk mail or any unsolicited and irrelevant email communication. This creates an unbelievable amount of unnecessary web traffic that slows real communication and wastes our time as we must continually work to rid ourselves of it.
Use email to communicate with people instead of paper.: Letters and notes on paper typically require the cutting down of trees and they produce trash. Using email allows others to read your message when they have time and it doesn't tax the environment.
Visit a far-flung friend.: It may be possible to keep a friend without it, but traveling to visit a friend in person gives life a sense of continuity.
Visit friends in jail.: People in jail are in mean and unfriendly environments which may affect them adversely, a friend who visits can make a world of difference in terms of keeping them in touch with their lives out side and helps keep them grounded.
Work to maintain long-term friendships.: Distance and time can seperate old friends. Making contact once in a while keeps the friendship alive, rather than losing a friend forever because of neglect.
