1.What are the occasions when you need to be friendly?
Diplomatic scene might be the occasion that needs most friendship because it involves the relationships between not individuals but between two companies. To be friendly could relieve rather than accelerate the tensions when it comes to long-standing sensitive issues such as price. Also, at party, I have to be friendly to others since we all have common friends. To spoil the atmosphere will make the future relationships awkward.
2.What are some reasons for people to be friendly to a person they dislike?
Having to be friendly to a person who people actually don’t like is most likely to occur in the workplace. The reason is very simple. No matter how they hate that person, they still have to cooperate with him or her in order to finish one task. If that person, unfortunately, is their superior or boss, then the salary and the performance might be a better reason to be friendly.
3.Can impatient people be successful?
Absolutely not. To look at successful people such as Albert Einstein, William Shakespeare and former and current presidents, although they differ in personalities, none of them were or are impatient. I guess the main reason is that success requires a persons’ ability to persevere after initial frustrations and the ability to teach and convince others in order to have more support.
4.Do easy-going people tend to be more successful than others?Not really. Easy-going people usually have more friends than those who are stubborn, but success needs not only friends. Actually, to be successful, people have to be confident in who they are and what they stand for despite all the misunderstandings and objections. To conclude, one person needs to be himself, in context, with skills, so that he can have more friends who have the same idea and approach as he.
