Take a moment to reflect on your romantic history. How many times have you said, “This is it. I’ve finally found my one true love”? And how many times has the reality turned out differently? Paperback romances and fairy tales promote an ideal of a first and only love, but few of us can claim to have had such uncomplicated good fortune. For most people, the process of finding the perfect partner is one of trial and error: breakups, makeups, missed opportunities, and misunderstandings. Human love is a fragile creation, and sometimes the smallest thing—the wrong choice of words or a single clumsy gesture—can make love shatter, stall, or fade away. 


Think of the last three people you have loved in your life, and write down the reasons each of those relationships ended (or failed to begin). Try to be as specific as possible in giving the reasons. For example, in a case of unrequited love, state whether it didn’t work out because the other person didn’t notice your signals or just wasn’t interested, or whether it was because you lacked the courage to say how you felt. In completing this exercise, avoid vague, noncommittal statements like “It just wasn’t meant to be,” “It wasn’t really anybody’s fault,” or “We were both a little bit at fault.” Take as long as you need to answer, but assign the blame to one side or the other in each case.

Who’s To Blame

Research shows that no company can succeed today by trying to be all things to all people. It must instead find the unique value that it alone can deliver to a chosen market. Choosing one discipline to master does not mean that a company abandons the others, only that it picks a dimension of value on which to stake its market reputation over the long term. Three distinct value disciplines have been identified, so called because each discipline produces a different kind of customer value.

Children who experience a rewarding friendship before the birth of a sibling are likely to have a better relationship with that brother or sister that endures throughout their childhood.
When early friendships are successful, young children get the chance to master sophisticated social and emotional skills, even more than they do with a parent. When parents relate to a child, they do a lot of the work, figuring out what the child needs and then accommodating those needs. However, this is not usually the case when two children are interacting.


The benefits of early friends are long-lasting. Children who had a positive relationship with a best friend before the birth of a sibling ultimately had a good relationship with their sibling that lasted throughout adolescence. And children who as preschoolers were able to coordinate play with a friend, manage conflicts, and keep an interaction positive in tone were most likely as teenagers to avoid the negative sibling interaction that can sometimes launch children on a path of anti-social behaviour. From birth, parents can nurture and help develop these social competencies (or skills) by making eye contact with their babies, offering toys and playing with them.

The world is full of other people, and their number grows day by day. For most of us, our social worlds also expand a little each day. Most of our contacts with others are random, chance encounters with people we may never meet a second time. But sometimes fate has other plans, and the stranger you met just yesterday may change your life tomorrow. That uncertainty is one of the things that keep life interesting. Yes, each of our circles of acquaintances is constantly expanding. But when you take a moment to reflect, you may be surprised at how that circle is not as wide as you might have thought.


(For this exercise, you'll need a blank paper and a pencil or pen.)
  1. Write your name in a box in the center of the paper.
  2. Try to fill the remaining blank space on the page with the names of people you know. Take as long as you need, but try to fill in the entire page.
  3. Draw a single horizontal line through the center of the page. It should cut through the box with you name in it.
  4. Choose a name at random in each of the two sections of the page and circle them both.
