1. Be an assistant to your leader, not a rival. 2. Suffering a little now can bring many blessings later. 3. Don’t lend money to friends easily, or you will lose them. 4. Not everyone is qualified to be your friend; only a few deserve to be loved. They will lend you a hand when you need it. 5. Be grateful to heaven often. 6. Sometimes you need to put yourself in others’ shoes. 7. Those who are too angry cannot achieve anything great. 8. Be kind yet firm. 9. Show respect to both the powerful and the poor. 10.

Always remember those who have been good to you in life. 15. No one owes you anything, so stop complaining about what others haven’t done for you.
3. Don’t lend money to friends easily, or you might lose them; it’s not always easy to say no in such situations~
It was said upstairs that such situations come up frequently, but following what the original poster suggested will bring many benefits; it just requires the right approach. The summary is excellent – practical and free from any pretense.

Don’t lend money to friends easily, or you will lose them. That’s absolutely true.

6# chenmeili666 The art of refusal? How should I refuse?
