I entered this Buddhism community recently, gets to know new people.

It was very awkward at first, but everyone warms up to each other after a few months.

We organised a Mother's Day Party and even managed to came up with our own Mother's Day appreciation video. Suddenly everyone seems familiar and close.

I asked one of them what makes him stay in this community.

And he answered because he can feel that everyone is sincerely wants to be your friend.

There are no mask at all. Everyone is on their natural look.

=====================================

During a makan session with my mentors, I was advised to read more self-improvement books.

I chose to read "How to make friends and influence people".

In the book, I read that you have to be genuinely interested in someone for them to be genuine towards you.

Upon reading this sentence, suddenly Cherry came to mind.

Cherry, from NYPSO.

Cherry, who used to be... different

I used to be puzzled by her transformation.

Within a span of a year, she instantly became the centre of attraction.

She loves being with people, and people love her!

And I assumed it was because she has embraced the above principle.
