Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Come clean. Expect an emotional reaction from the other person, especially if what you did was very bad. Don't make it worse by trying to avoid consequences. Apologize. Forgive yourself

Answer: If you are the one who betrayed someone else, you need to come clean. In interpersonal relationships, it's especially important to tell the truth when you would benefit from a lie. If you have betrayed someone, coming clean at your own expense tells the other person that their well-being is more important than your own. Denial will only make the other party's distrust run deeper, especially if the truth is already clear.  Admit all of your mistakes. Even if there are parts that you can keep hidden without getting caught, you should still reveal them to the other person. Only in admitting all your mistakes can you be forgiven for all of them. Admitting that you betrayed someone is not going to make things easier immediately. On the contrary, you can expect an emotional outburst—yelling, crying, and so on—from the other person when they hear you admit your betrayal. Remember, the best way to move on is by putting it all into the open.  Instead of trying to manage their reaction, try just staying with them while they let it out. Attempts to downplay or cover up the situation are likely to upset the other person even more. Remember that you can't control the other person's reaction, but you can control how straightforward and empathetic you are.    Waiting too long: Waiting a long time to come clean can upset them, since in addition to doing something wrong you chose to hide it from them. Tell the truth as soon as you can.  Minimizing: Saying things like "it's not a big deal" or "you just misunderstood" will only upset the other person more, because they'll think you don't care about their feelings.  Excuses: Saying things like "I shouldn't have done that, but you have to understand..." will make it seem like you aren't taking your offense seriously. You can offer an explanation, but don't use it to pretend it wasn't your fault. Don't try to justify your actions. This one should be obvious, but unfortunately, sometimes it gets overlooked. How you approach saying your apology will influence whether or not the apology is accepted and you both can move on.  The best way to accept responsibility is by recognizing the other person's hurt, saying what you should have done instead, and doing that behavior in the future.  Let the person you betrayed know why you are apologizing. If they know that you are apologizing out of guilt and shame, they are more likely to forgive you. If they think that you are apologizing out of pity, they are less likely to forgive you. Pity, unlike guilt and shame, does not show an element of personal responsibility of the offender. Pity also implies that the offender is superior to the offended. . When you violate someone's trust, you may feel so regretful that you have a hard time forgiving yourself for the violation. While a repentant heart is an essential part of making up with the person you betrayed, you also need to accept and learn to forgive yourself after you put the effort into making amends.   Remember that no one is perfect. Whether your error in judgment was minor or major, it goes to show that you are only human. Accept your failure, and try to push forward into the future. By clinging to thoughts of past failure, you risk devaluing yourself. Once you begin to have such thoughts, it could zap your motivation for self-improvement.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Consider the advantages of a laptop. Keep the negatives in mind. Think about what you’ll be using it for. Set your budget.

Answer: If you haven't had a laptop before, it can be a good idea to consider the possible benefits of owning one. When compared with a desktop, laptops have quite a few advantages.   You can take a laptop with you wherever you go, even abroad provided that you take a power adapter as well. Many laptops can do what we expect most desktops to do. For example, the i series are very fast workers with highest performance. Today, i7 is the most powerful type of computer. While you may not be able to run the latest games at their highest settings, most modern laptops are quite capable for all different tasks. Laptops save on space and are easy to move out of the way. This makes them great for small apartments, or for using on your bedroom desk. While laptops are great for portable computing, there are a few significant drawbacks. While these shouldn’t scare you away if you really want one, they are good to keep in the back of your mind while shopping.   Laptops are easy to steal if you forget to take care when traveling with them. Their battery life isn't extraordinarily long and can be frustrating if you want to work without electricity for a long period of time, such as on a plane or sitting at the shore near your vacation cottage. If you plan on traveling a lot, battery life will be very important to you. Because laptops typically can’t be upgraded like a desktop can, they can become obsolete quicker. This may mean you find yourself upgrading to a new laptop again in a few years. Since laptops have such a wide variety of uses, it will help to focus on what you plan to use the laptop for when you’re comparing models. If you plan on mainly browsing the web and writing emails, you’ll have a lot different needs than if you want to play games on the go or produce your own music. It's important to know how much your budget is before you start looking or you might be swayed by long-term interest-free sweeteners to purchase something beyond your means. There is a large range of laptops available and setting a limit will ensure that you enjoy the laptop you can afford, without being prevented from upgrading later on because you're still paying off the old one! Decide what aspects are important to you and fit these within your budget.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Examine hot water pipes if you hear squeaking. Cushion hot water pipes the same way you would cushion banging pipes, by placing either pipe cushioning foam or rubber inside the anchor.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Design your own floor plans. Contact a reputable architect. Obtain bids from builders once the blueprints are complete.

Answer:
If you’d like to have creative control over every part of your house’s design, it’s possible to design a floor plan with little or no experience. There are various online resources you can use to compose your own blueprints and floor plans. You’ll also need to independently research many aspect of home building that your architect or builder would normally take care of, including:  Analyzing the shape and slope of the land plot to determine a specific build location. Determining zoning regulations for your build site. If you choose not to design your own floor plans, you’ll need to find someone to design your house. An architect will incorporate your own vision or the house and your own design preferences into their final design. Working with an architect should be more like collaboration than like handing over control of your pet project.  Architect fees for drawing up floor plans usually reach around $5,000 or $6,000 USD. Use The American Institute of Architects online database to search for architects in your city or zip code: https://architectfinder.aia.org. The architect will make the blueprints and floor plans, but you need to find someone to actually build the house. Collect bids from at least 3 builders.  In many scenarios, architects work closely with builders. Your architect may already have one (or more) builders that they can recommend with you. Ask your architect for a builder recommendation. This will save you the trouble of having to find a builder on your own.
