Being friendly is outgoing and pleasant to others. Everyone should be friendly to others; a friend to a friend, a boss to an employee, a teacher to a student, and vice-versa.…
The author tells us that it is important to identify and maintain a relationship with our neighbors that we live next to us, so we know how to relate and communicate with them. He goes on to mention the type of people that he lived across the street from and the types we could find and the one we would appreciate to like or happy that we live net too. He categorized them into four different groups of neighbors, which are the “too friendly, unsociable, irritable and the just right,” who are the best or just the right people we want net door. To start with are the, too friendly neighbor, which so far are the most interesting, they just can’t get enough of one’s time or know when to back off, always trying so hard to impress, even when the sighs say otherwise. These group are not necessarily bad but more like bugs, that no matter how much, the pesticide is sprayed after a while they find their way back into our lives again. They also seem to be everywhere we go, so we can’t get rid of them. The author talks about an incident that happened at his house. He had to lie to a neighbor that his house was on fire just for him to leave, but it still took him like ten minutes to say his good byes, which I would say is under the too friendly category. They also seems to be the best of cooks, always baking and coming over to the house uninvited, about ten or more time to give food, and it would have been better if they could cook, it would have been one thing, that would have been just right. Also the irritable one, these are the fellows that find something wrong with everything and everybody in the family. He complains about the children, the noise from the house and when, we try to explain it gets worse, so it best to listen and just…
Hi Yvette, I believe you have a great neighborhood community experience, your explanation of a community totally make sense to me. Indeed, a community needs trust, helping hand and a sense of security, otherwise many people will not be deciding to join a community. Besides the blood-related family, a community is pretty much like a second home for its members. Therefore, the members of a community are usually able to relate and communicate among themselves. Personally, I like those passionate/enthusiastic and positive members in a community because they make a community stays competitive, expanding and furtherance of the knowledge. Yvette, what is your suggestion for a newbie in a community? Do you think he/she should be actively offering help…

Time is a huge factoring in life. People have to choose how much time to spend on different aspects of their lives based on priority, so sometimes time to make friends with neighbors is probably extremely low. Lovenheim asks, “ Why is it that in an age of cheap long-distance rates, discount count airlines, and the Internet we often don’t know the people who live next door.” (Lovenheim, 2008) The answer to that question is that people are busy. For example a full time student, who also works, might not have a lot of time to get chummy…

What grade were you in? The teacher I choose to write about is a High School educator whose name is Mrs. Wright. I had her from my sophomore through my senior year. She was the resource teacher for these grades. I have test anxiety, have has it since I was a young child, and she could get me through without having a panic attack or having to go to the ladies room to puck. This woman was always there to support me while I work through the good and tough times in school no matter what it was. A kindhearted woman, that truly cared, no matter who you were, and what problem you may be facing. She always put a smile on your face and happiness in your heart. She always assisted me when I needed it or if I did not grasp something, she would make…
I love to meet new people and connect with them. I have friends from different religion and cultures and I love to learn about their lifestyles, customs and beliefs. In my opinion, friendliness involves greeting strangers with a smile, connecting with people effectively, always paying attention to the people while having a conversation and responding to them appropriately. There are lots of examples of friendliness around us. Greeting the checkout person at the grocery store, engaging in conversation with the person in line next to you, offering to help a person in need of help, smiling at a stranger or someone you know, offering a ride to your neighbor, whose car is in the repair shop might be some of the good examples of friendliness. I can share a story from my personal experience related to friendliness. There was an old man who used to live next to our house. He had two daughters who lived in abroad and his wife had passed away. So, he lives all alone by himself. Once I offered him to help him clean his apartment, he happily accepted my offer. Then, we cleaned his apartment together and he thanked me for being so kind to him. The characteristic of friendliness goes a long way to promote happiness and peace in any situation or relationship. It fosters understanding, respect and justice. It creates a sense of community and caring. We all need the feel to be wanted and loved and friendliness helps with…

Moreover, I always try to be courteous. I think being well mannered and considerate is a key factor of courtesy and I do my best not to hurt others’ feelings or annoy them. It is also important to be honest, especially with people you have known for a long time. Lies turn out to be lies after time. It takes a lot of effort and time to build trust, but it can be broken even with the smallest lie. In terms of honesty, I try to remember the quote saying ‘Characters build slowly, but it can be torn down with great swiftness.’ I know how fragile trust can be, so I put honesty as one of my top instrumental values. I am of belief…
As stated above, a good friend is something scarce since they are more than just a friend, but do they necessarily have to be someone who never disagrees? In my own opinion a good friend dishes out hard truths, has your best interest at heart, and will not hesitate to be a villain when required. Yes, they are not your family members corresponding to our common understanding, but they will act like ones.…
A good neighbor is someone who respects other people and helps them if necessary. In my opinion, good neighbors are rare and some people do not even know who their neighbors are. First of all, a good neighbor is not noisy and they do not ask you personal questions. In addition, they do not make a lot of noise when you want to relax or sleep. Of course, they should invite you to a party because good neighbors are also friendly. You should be able to pop in and chat to your neighbor and have a cup of tea together. Good neighbors are also willing to help you if you need them. In other words a good neighbor shows kindness or helpfulness to ward his or her fellow humans: to be a good neighbor to some one in distress. There are some qualities of good neighbor.…
Everyone has neighbours, that much is obvious. Whether they live down the street or if they live within throwing distance. Every person, every family, and every neighbourhood is different. Some neighbours can be very inconsiderate, and then there are some who are very considerate towards helping and respecting others. The inconsiderate neighbour is the one constantly playing loud music, and when someone complains they do not change their ways at all. The considerate neighbour may be the one who is always lending a helping hand; even before you ask for help. Then there is the silent neighbour, who may fall into either category, being considerate or inconsiderate depending how you want your neighbours to be. Whether your neighbours are the inconsiderate loud type or the considerate, over friendly and helpful type it is all about personal preference and how you want your neighbours to be and act towards you. All types of neighbours are an important part to each community, they can help us to learn to communicate and relate to all different types of people. Whether they are noisy and inconsiderate, silent and keep to themselves, or if they are helpful and considerate, they are all our neighbours.…
