Practice until you get it right, and you’ll need perfect conditions.Practice until you can’t get it wrong, and conditions no longer matter.

Don’t let your worst moments become your story.You blow the presentation and spend the drive home scripting perfect comebacks to an audience that’s already gone. Your relationship ends, and you spend months replaying conversations that can’t be changed. All the time spent perfecting the past is stolen from the future that’s still waiting.The past is a teacher, not a judge. Your next move matters more than your last mistake.

C2 words for IELTS - Group 2 | IELTStestONLINE

There are principles that govern the social dimension of human existence. Though invisible, they are as real and powerful as gravity and other laws governing the physical world. Your awareness and ability to live harmoniously with them are a non-negotiable aspect of personal success and effectiveness

Principles Governing Human Behaviour

These simple rules are based on the timeless, biblical principles that lubricate human interactions.It isn't all encompassing, nor is it exhaustive, but it is a concise list to hold at your fingertips to transform the relationships you have into something purposeful and meaningful.

Disservice to a Friend: 7 Don’ts of Friendship

Trust is the foundation. Dishonesty creates cracks that widen over time. Proverbs 12:22 states that the Lord detests lying lips.

1.  Don’t Lie to a Friend

Words matter. Be sensitive to your friend’s emotions. Choose kindness. Colossians 4:6 encourages us to let our conversation be always full of grace.

2. Don’t Be Mean or Rude

Listen, show love and care, and find solutions, not point fingers.

3. Don’t Judge a Friend When They’re Being Vulnerable

If a friend confides in you, it should stay with you. Proverbs 16:28 tells us that gossip separates close friends.

4. Don’t Gossip

A perverse man spreads strife, and a gossip separates close friends

This is The Golden Rule. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. As featured in <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Fallout-Season-1/dp/B0CN4GGGQ2">Fallout, The series</a>, it is one of the moral pillars of modern civilization. Yet, its roots date as far back as biblical days.

5. Don't treat them in a manner you wouldn't like

So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.

Friendship isn’t a one-way street. Real love, as described in 1 Corinthians 13, is not self-seeking. Friendship isn’t a transaction, reciprocity matters, but grace should lead the way.

6. Don’t Be Selfish With Time, Energy, or Support

Authentic friendship requires showing up as you are. The right friends will love the real you, not the curated version. Proverbs 17:17 says, “A friend loves at all times.”

7. Don't Pretend—Be Your True Self

Friendship, like any relationship, requires intentionality. Like every other precious thing that needs to be preserved, friendship has rules.Transgressing these rules is a disservice to a friend. Try to avoid breaking them. But also pay attention to other relationship-specific rules that are not a direct opposition to this.

Conclusion

We are social beings. Our networth is to a large extent in our network. Lead and build healthy friendships.

These are all questions we should ask ourselves.Like all relationships humans keep, there has to be self-reflection in friendships. And all these and more
