HOW TO MAINTAIN A GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH OUR NEIGHBORS

Having a good relationship with our neighbors make us more comfortable to live in our environment, exactly, in in our boarding house. Nowadays, we are so busy with our job but it does not mean that we forget our neighbors. Neighbor is an important part of social life. These are three main steps in maintaining a good relationship with our neighbor: introduction, affection, and brotherhood.

The first step is introduction. When we are a newcomer on a particular environment, introduction is the best choice to begin a good relationship with the others. In the process, we should come to our neighbor’s room and introduce ourselves. Then, we should ask our neighbor’s name. After that, we have to make a good conversation like making a joke or talking about tsunami in Japan or whatever is the best topic.

The next step is affection. We should show our affection to our neighbors. Then, there is no doubt that our neighbors will love us because when we show our affection, it means that we love them. We have to support our neighbors in their profession even we have to help them in solving the problem. That will keep our relation better.

When we have known our neighbor enough, we are in the last step. We should regard our neighbor as a brother/sister. We share about our family to our neighbor and let them ask about our family. When they know that we trust them, they will do the sama as well as we do. Then we will feel that what we have is theirs and what they have is ours. It will seem a little family.

In conclusion, the three major steps in making a good relationship with our neighbors are introduction which happens when we are a newcomer, affection which requires us to love our neighbors, and brotherhood which requires us to regard our neighbors as family.
