Friendship

Assalamualaikum & hey... =)

Recently read a chapter from Secrets of Successful Teens by Adam Khoo and Gary Lee.

Chapter 8: Friends Make You or They Break You

This is what I have learnt from this chapter:

• Make a list of friends you have and tick those friends who bring the best out of you.
• It if not easy to change our friends circle. Sometimes you might be rejected by others. But don't just give up. Build up your self-confidence and keep trying
• Beware of the negative friends who might pull you back.
• If you are afraid to make friends with anyone, 99% of the time they are afraid too. So why don't you be the first one to break the ice.
• If someone rejects you, don't worry because there is nothing wrong with you.
• The nicest people are the mostly successful and confident.
• If you don't take the first step, you will never have the opportunity, and you will regret it for the rest of your life.
• Start a conversation that will make people like you.
• List down characteristics of your friends who make you feel bad. Make sure you don't be like them.
• Smile, learn to listen, find similarities, respect others thoughts and give sincere compliments and appreciation.
• Learn to differentiate the good and bad type of peer pressure.
• Learn to say 'No' when our friend influences us to do anything wrong.
