hello! today i shall talk about maintaining a good relationship, particularly a good friendship based on my past experiences
golden rule #1
- be true to yourself and your friend
this is the only way you could maintain a long, strong friendship, no lies between
golden rule #2
- give constructive comments
situation to situation, take different facades, when your friend is happy, play and joke, when he/she is sad, be a good advisor
golden rule #3
- listen more than you talk
only when you think about him/her more than yourself, it is then called a relationship, or else, it would be just useless rambling and mythical characters in fairy-tales
golden rule #4
- sensitivity
be sensitive to everything around you, his/her needs and feelings
golden rule #5
selflessness
- he/she always comes first. remember that
golden rule #6
- never ever exploit his/her weaknesses
never betray your friends, even if you don't get along as well as before after some bad incidents, never bad mouth him/her. just remember the times you enjoyed together
golden rule #7
- be trustworthy
never spill the beans about secrets and don't be late for appointments
golden rule #8
- be generous with hugs
sometimes they need warmth, love and care. give it to them
golden rule #9
- be quick to forgive
remember, forgetting is human, forgiving is divine. everyone is human and are bound to make mistakes here and then, so it might not be enitrely his/her fault!
golden rule #10
- never judge by outsides
this is one of the most important of all golden rules. always look at people's insides, not their outsides. this is something many can no longer do, but trust me, do it and you'll find many true friends
DIAMOND rule
- LOVE THEM LIKE YOU LOVE YOURSELF! begin with yourself (:
then expand outwards, let your love travel to the ends of the world
10 golden rules and 1 diamond rule
love,
~emma
forget me not.
