15 Easy Ways to Maintain a Good Relationship with Your Friends, Relatives and Neighbors
Have a good community around you.

5. Be Balanced – I know few people, who want to be the boss wherever they are. They will think that they should be more close to anyone in the friends group and try to play politics to keep everyone else away from others. Don’t do this divide and rule game all the times. The group may throw you out. Also, they will play cheap tricks to gain from one friend, and there by hurting other one.

6. Don’t believe in appearance – Some people may look scary, but they behave so soft and genuine. The sharp skin Jack fruit has the sweet fruit inside. So, don’t judge people by their appearance. Don’t take a chance to miss a good friend in your life.

7. Deal with a smile – Even while handling a tough job, have a smile. A smile is a little curve, which can put many things straight in your life. A smiling face can earn you more friendship and good will from others. Love and smile are two things, which get multiplied when spent.

8. Be the starter – Don’t hesitate to start a conversation at first place. The person opposite to you may be feeling shy like you to start a conversation. Say a “Hello” with a smile and start your friendship.

9. Lend a helping hand – Some people always think helping others will lead them into trouble. So, when they sense that if their friend or relative is going to seek a help, they will build a story in advance to avoid helping. You can do a help, which is possible to you and is within your capacity. Don’t keep your hands crossed at all times.

10. Forgive and Forget – This is the very base thing for a friendship to live longer. To err is human and to forgive is GOD. It is very common that one could commit mistakes knowingly or unknowingly. If the person is worth more than their mistake, then forget the mistake and continue your friendship.
11. Be in touch – Most friendship and relations end just because they are not in contact for a long time. The sweet and loving memories shared with each other fades with time. Keep refreshing it, at least by email and phone, if not possible in person. The road to a friend’s home should never be covered with thorns.

12. Encourage others – When your friend or relative did something good or achieved something, be the first to congratulate them. Everyone loves being wished by others. Don’t be jealousy. When you become generous to others, you too will get back the same.

13. Express without hurting – Don’t use “Just listen and act to what I say” policy at any time. It is only good if you are the boss and the opposite person is your employee. It is not a good one to work among friends and relatives. Put words in such a way that the opponent person should openly feel sorry for his mistake and still should not feel he/she got hurt.

14. Be on the side – When we are sad, the important thing we look is for a supportive shoulder by the side to console. Be that shoulder for the one to whom you are being so important.
15. Be happy always – The life in this world is short. We never know the exit date of us from this world. So, why want to waste the precious life living deserted? Fill your life with joy and happiness with more fun and laughter, sharing with friends and relatives. Have a happy life.

I think these are the essentials to promote ANY healthy relationships rather than just a few between our friends, family and neighbours. Really good tips and remembering special days actually works magic and automatically pastes a smile on to the persons face. Really good and really true!
