EXERCISE 5

If by some magic you could be granted one quick wish, perhaps you might
wish to be popular. Being popular means being liked by a lot of people
instead of just a few close friends and that is a big wish. All the same you,
too, can be well liked if you are willing to be on guard against the perils of
popularity.

Let us consider some of these. You cannot be polite and friendly to some and
not to others without the word getting around as to what kind of person you
really are. When you are considering other people take time, to be friendly
with the folks older than you are your neigh-hours, teachers, parents and
other relatives. If you treat them with respect, they are going to think of you
as a likeable person, not as a good for nothing boy. And do not forget to be
kind to the little kids too. Again you must think of others and consider their
wishes. A majority wins, you know, and if you are out-voted in the discussion
of what to do and where to go, remember that being a good sport is another
way to help your popularity. A good lover does not complain when the plans
do not go his way. At the same time do not be afraid that you are risking your
popularity to stand up for what you think is right. It takes courage to say so,
and is appreciated. (260 words)
