Having a friend!!

You cannot say that you can live alone. You need your fellowmen. You need friends. But how can you have friends? This is how:

1) First, avoid criticizing. Remember that people have feelings. Criticisms often hurt. And it is but natural for a person to get angry with you if you have hurt his feelings. if he's angry with you, how can he be your friend?

2) Second, avoid arguing.You dont have to prove that what a person did or said was wrong. It is possible for a person to admit to his self that he is wrong but he will find it difficult to accept his mistake before others. If you show others that he is wrong, he will find ways to prove that he is right. He will feel very bad because his self-pride was hurt. Instead of having a friend, you will be gaining an enemy.

3) Third, learn to admit your mistake. If you are able to do this, others will have a high regard for you. They will be pleased with you and will praise you because of your outstanding character. Because of this, many will try to be close to you.

4) Fourth, learn to listen. To listen is difficult for a person who usually enjoys talking about his experience and the stories that he had read. Sometimes, he wants to do all the talking. Train yourself to listen well instead of talking often. Show to the person speaking that you are interested in what he's saying. This way you'll please him and he will be happy.

These are the ways of gaining friends and I'm sure that you'll succeed if you do these things. WHy don't you try?
