Meet­ing up with old friend is usu­ally more fun than can ever be imag­ined. Make a con­scious effort to keep up with peo­ple and make gen­uine con­tact with them often. You don’t want to be the guy that only comes around when he needs some­thing.

When was the last time you said “hello” to your col­lege band direc­tor, high school math teacher, coworker across the hall or friend in the room next door? Let them know they are valu­able and remind them of the influ­ence they have on oth­ers. Friends play a spe­cial role in each person’s life. While you have hun­dreds if not thou­sands of acquain­tances, only a friend can get away with set­ting the record straight and can get in your face about fix­ing your­self when things don’t go right. Sure it hurts for a lit­tle bit, but its for the bet­ter. Right? Let them help you — and you help them.

So stop read­ing and go write a note to your friend…that’s what I’m doing!
