TIP OF THE DAY
Your Social Blind Spots
Some great qualities may actually alienate your pals. Stay connected with these tips 
1 IF YOU’RE CHARMING, BE RELIABLE, TOOCharismatic men may score lots of friends, but they lose them once they start bailing on, well, everything. “Part of being charming is paying a lot of attention to other people. But that may lead you to make commitments you can’t follow up on,” says sociologist Dr Pepper Schwartz. She suggests making good-natured wagers on your follow-through. Any time you bail, pay R50 to the affected party. By making it a game, you slowly let accountability seep into your consciousness.
2 YOUR CRITICAL EYE IS AN ASSET, BUT LEARN TO LOOK THE OTHER WAYBeing a perfectionist is great at work, but you’ll make your pals feel like Neanderthals by comparison. “You’re too particular, so you get a lot of resentment,” Schwartz says. To avoid offending, use another technique from the job world: never criticise unless you can also offer a solution. “You may see areas where your friends want to match your standards,” Schwartz says. Offer advice as an ally, not an adversary. Back down if you sense they’re not interested.
3 PLAY THE GAME, NOT YOUR FRIENDSEver feel as if your friends are fair-weather fans? They are. Your competitive nature makes you a valuable team player, but your Hulk-like temper can alarm your mates. No matter what you’re playing – pool, touch rugby, poker – avoid conflict by challenging yourself, not your friends. Schwartz recommends aiming for personal bests instead of focusing on winning. If you come up short, you take the brunt of your own wrath.

Paper Recycling
Have a separate bin or box for paper.
Keep your paper clean & dry by not mixing it with other recyclables or wet waste.
Recovered paper is a key material in paper, paperboard and tissue production, conserving new raw materials.

Underprivileged and homeless must have something to work towards and some goods only cost R2.
