  are not submitting, but altering the outcome by letting others see
  that you are committed to the relationship. You should try to
  compromise. Forgive people when they make mistakes. If you have made a
  mistake, admit it, and apologize sincerely.

  other can give. Contribute your time and effort without unreasonable
  expectations in return. When you do good deeds for others, let that be
  its own reward so that you don't build resentments.

  read your mind. Make your request with a smile be direct don't use
  "hints". Communicate and share your thoughts and feelings with them.
