Turning Your Enemies Into Friends - An Enjoyable Process

There is a big difference between your friends and your foes. Most friends will help you during your time of need and look after your best interest. Friends make you feel good about yourself and help increase your self esteem. A true friend is only interested in your best interest. A foe or an enemy is someone that is not interested in your best interest, but instead his or her own. Some of these people would probably wish much harm upon you, for whatever reason.
A true friend is someone that takes enjoyment, whether it is intentional or unintentional, in bringing you pleasure and joy in your life. If you are a salesman for example, you probably don't want another salesman from a different company taking a customer of yours. If the salesman did take your customer, you will probably see him as your enemy or foe. A great salesperson will see this as an opportunity to find out why exactly he lost his customer. A great salesman will research what the other competitor has to offer is previous client that is more beneficial to their business than what he has to offer. You can make great friends with other salespeople, even if they take your customers from you if you have an open mind.
Many students, especially high school students, see teachers as their enemy. This is very confusing for many to understand, but there are some children in the world who actually think teachers are bad and cruel people. Your teacher is there to be a wonderful friend and mentor and help guide you in your life. Instead of making your teacher and enemy, make them a friend you can learn from. They are not there to make your life miserable or put you in detention. They are there to help you learn and that is their job.
If you are like me, you prefer to be around people who treat you nicely. No one wants to be criticized, hardly ever. While I do welcome some criticism, there is still a part of me that cringes when it comes. In most cases, it comes from a reputable source, a source that is only trying to help me grow as an individual. These people who offer contract of criticism do not do it very often, so when they do I listen.
When you truly evolve to a high level of humanity, you will be able to turn your photos into friends. Even if they are not a true friend, they will be on your positive side, even if they are another salesman that is your competition. We are all out to gain the same things in life, may the best man win.
