• Now that you have learned the fabulous Teacher
  Suck-up Method, you too can improve your grades
  by getting your instructors to know you by name
  and see you as a real person who needs their help
  to succeed. By coming to classes on time, sitting
  up front, asking your teachers about their day,
  taking notes, asking questions, being polite, and
  visiting your instructors after class, you will
  influence them to give you a higher grade. Your
  instructors will remember who you are and believe
  you have really tried hard. The Teacher Suck-up
  Method really works. Try it. You will definitely
  see real improvement in your grades.

Another good conclusion

• Good friends are a true blessing, and friends
  turned enemy can destroy all our happiness with
  their betrayals of our trust. As William Blake
  says in his poem, we tell our friends when we are
  angry and that makes their anger go away before
  it can do any harm. Keeping open lines of
  communication is essential in every relationship.
  Maybe if we checked regularly with our friends to
  make sure we have not done anything to anger
  them, even if it was by mistake, we might keep
  their friendship and keep them from becoming
  enemy friends.
