Rude. . . .Be aware of who you’re interacting with

Understand the context of the situation

Interact with respect towards everything

Remember what Tomas Jefferson said “When angry count to ten, when very angry count to one hundred.”

So many choices so little time!

• Think about this. . . Lets say that you know 1,000 people (that’s a lot of people!) and out of those thousand, ten of them are your close, best friends. Even with that small a ratio, it would mean that there are potentially 40,000 people in Minnesota alone who could be your new best friend

Kindness costs you nothing, silence could cost you a new friend!

Hygiene• Pride in your personal

appearance is important. . . . WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE ISN’T!!!

• Along with physical hygiene goes mental hygiene. Pay attention to thoughts about yourself and others

Never judge a book by its cover

• Can you imagine being happy without a single friend?• The only way to truly understand ourselves is through our friends• The Harvard School of Public Health conducted a study that found men with ``strong social ties'' had

an 82 percent lower risk of dying from heart disease than men who were more socially isolated.• People who are socially involved live longer.• Recent British studies show that regularly confiding in close friends is more effective at beating

Depression than prescription medicine. • We don’t have to be friends with everyone we meet but having friends is good for our body and mind.

Loneliness…

The End of a Friend

Lives change and people change

There are so many friends to have

We wear our lives like scars on our skin… friends can often leave bad scars but they can also help heal
