Thoughtfulness…not playing music too loudly in your cubicle, not cutting in line, not talking on your cell phone in a theater, etc.

When in a relationship, never, ever go to sleep before resolving an argument. At least try to reach some kind of temporary understanding. Also, address petty things before they get under your skin.

When dating, take the initiative to plan get-togethers and events. Don’t wait around for the other person to figure everything out.

Be yourself at all times, don’t change for anything or anyone. Don’t change who you are to fit into a situation better; everything will end up being better in the end if you just be who you really are.
