14 - Down to the Last

CHAPTER IV:  Be Positive

This chapter basically discuss about the positivity in friendship. According to this chapter friends are gifts to help us along life's path. Like in marriage, friendship must also center my God so that there is guidance between your friendships. Possibly, when God allows those lonely seasons He's teaching us to appreciate the value of a good friend. Joining bible study group allows us to get to know with our friends in a more meaningful way. Make sure that when things go wrong we should wait until we get the facts from our friend before thinking the worst. This book also suggests that we read books or other materials that enhance positive thought pattern because negativity can bring others and the friendship down.



CHAPTER V: Handling Problems

This chapter tackles on how to handle problems or misunderstanding within your friends. Trust is very important in building relationship but betrayal tears friendship apart. Secret is a secret in both two parties. Sometimes there are individuals who take advantage of their friend's secret when they have problems with each other. Good friends realize that everyone has a short coming and are willing to forgive and forget. This chapter suggests that friends should strive to be humble and realize that everyone has a fault. Dealing with emotional baggage can affect the way we make decisions and relate to others and these feelings will undoubtedly affect our friendship yet we should know how to handle this. Another important focus of this chapter is to remember that no matter how well we know a person, we can't really understand what they are feeling unless we gone through the same experiences. At the end, the very most essential is we should learn to forgive and accept forgiveness and remind or self of the good times, love and laughter that we've shared with our friend.

    Yes, Julius, I agree that trust is a very important thing in a friendship. It's what will keep a friendship going, so think twice before trying to break the trust of your friend or you'll lose them sooner or later.

18 - Anti-Smoking Campaign!

Am I a SMOKER? In the Philippines, one of the branch of the government that promoting an Anti Smoking Campaign will be the MMDA or the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority. You can always saw their slogan, poster and even a sticker that are posted in public transportation vehicle and even at the malls or in a highway.  In the poster, we always read the word "Smoke-free" means, you should not smoke here in this area where it is posted. But, is this really followed by some men and women who smoke a lot? Is this rule always implemented? Or it is just a rule? I repeat, Is this always implemented or it is "Just a Rule!"This question I want to ask for those people who wants to implement it. Are they really be followed by all the Filipinos in this country?  I think it is not. And I strongly can say that it is not totally rules.
