Communicating with friends.
When we plant a tree, we take care of that plant from the
smallest stage of growth. We not only nurture that plant with
water, air and fertilizers , but also protect it from any
damage. Friendship is one such plant. One has to take care of
friends, as one takes care of the plants one grows.
Most of us take friendship for granted. We believe that friends
are always there, whenever we need them. Why this attitude for
friendship. Because, a day soon comes when our friends will
begin feeling that we don't care for them. that day the
friendship will get over. Does anyone wants to destroy long term
friendships? No.
What can be done to keep the friendship strong? How to relate
with friends so that the bond grows stronger? What to expect
from friends, and what to give them in return?
Make a quick list of all your good friends. Now write the date,
when you last communicated with them in anyway. When did you
last meet them? When did last share meal with them, or a drink?
when did you send them a gift? What was the date, when you tried
to find out about their problems? Did you ask them and they
called up to tell you? What is the ratio of your telling them of
your problems, and they telling them theirs? Go deeper in the
analysis of relationship. This exercise may reveal quite a lot
to you about your bonding and sharing. Put yourself in your
friend's shoes and think about what they might be feeling about
the friendship?
This exercise will give you clues about any thing that needs to
be done by you to nurture friendship. Value your friendship by
nurturing it on a regular basis. Meeting friends regularly,
finding about what may be bothering them, sending them small
gifts over intervals, sharing jokes with them, asking them for a
movie together, and so many other things can help us make our
friendship bond stronger.
Make your friends feel proud of you and your friendship. To
communicate regularly with your friends, send them ecards on
various occasions and for different reasons. Take a quick Look
here and begin now.
