If it is possible, open a dialogue with your aggressor to try to learn his point of view. Ask him questions like, “Is there something specific I did to offend you?” or, “What can I do to make things right between us?" Do not be condescending or argumentative; instead, be understanding and empathetic. It may be difficult to face your adversary, so you could try texting or emailing. However, written words may have a different tone than your true intent, and may be taken the wrong way. Show compassion towards your adversary directly and indirectly. She might be going through a difficult time in her life or lack the skills to deal with certain situations appropriately. Recognize that your adversary is human and has feelings. Try to open your heart to your enemy and put yourself in her shoes to get an idea how she might be feeling. When you choose to forgive someone, recognize that this does not mean your adversary forgives you. You have no control over the actions and feelings of your adversary. Yet, this does not control your decision to forgive. Give up the feeling of control by surrendering yourself and trusting that things will work out. Surrender the grasp you think you have on your adversary to help yourself forgive him. Forgiveness and reconciliation differ greatly because reconciliation requires both parties to work together, whereas forgiveness only requires yourself. Forgiving someone doesn’t mean letting her off the hook, it simply means that you accept what happened and you are willing to move on. To “forgive and forget” may not be the best strategy. It is good to remember what your adversary has done to you so that you can learn from the experience and recognize it if it happens again.

One-sentence summary -- Talk to the person. Be compassionate. Recognize that you are not in control of your adversary. Understand that forgiveness is up to you.

Q: Rather than look out for criticisms, enjoy the compliments you get. Pay attention to the content of other peoples' compliments and remember them. Write them down so that you can remind yourself of them later, especially during darker moments. Instead of dismissing other peoples' compliments or convincing yourself that they're just being polite, take them at their word and trust that they are not just humoring you. Consider that others are giving you their honest assessments. Accept their positive words graciously. Every time you notice yourself thinking negatively about your body or an aspect of it, remind yourself of something about your body that you like. Make a list of at least ten positive things about yourself, omitting anything appearance-related. Add to the list frequently. This will help you begin to understand and appreciate all the wonderful aspects of yourself. You'll realize that your body is just one part of your total package. If you spend too much time in front of the mirror, make a rule that you can't say or think anything negative about yourself when you look in it. Instead, use your mirror to identify the positive things you see. If you're still struggling with the mirror, take it away for a while. Studies have shown that you may be more likely to focus on your career or relationship, rather than your looks. Verbalize positive affirmations in front of the mirror: Say to yourself “You're beautiful!”, “You're amazing,” etc. when standing in front of the mirror. This may feel forced, and you may not initially believe what you're telling yourself, but experts tell us that this process—what they call cognitive behavior therapy—really does work over time.
A: Pay attention to the compliments you receive. Consistently identify what you like about yourself. Reinvent your relationship with your mirror.

Article: Make sure that the mixture is evenly spread out over the base of the shallow dish.   The mixture will set as it dries and adhere to the glass.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Fill a shallow dish with about half an inch/1 centimeter (0.4 in) of water. Fill another shallow dish with the sugar and cinnamon. Mix the sugar and cinnamon together with your fingers. Dip just the rim of your martini glass into a shallow dish of water. Now dip the wet rim into the sugar and cinnamon mixture. Set the glass aside.

Article: Consider all consecutive integers.  Determine the number of terms (n{\displaystyle n}) in the sequence. Since you are considering all consecutive integers to 500, n=500{\displaystyle n=500}. Determine the first (a1{\displaystyle a_{1}}) and last (an{\displaystyle a_{n}}) terms in the sequence. Since the sequence is 1 to 500, a1=1{\displaystyle a_{1}=1} and an=500{\displaystyle a_{n}=500}. Find the average of a1{\displaystyle a_{1}} and an{\displaystyle a_{n}}: 1+5002=250.5{\displaystyle {\frac {1+500}{2}}=250.5}. Multiply the average by n{\displaystyle n}: 250.5×500=125,250{\displaystyle 250.5\times 500=125,250}. The first term in the sequence is 3. The last term in the sequence is 24. The common difference is 7.  Determine the number of terms (n{\displaystyle n}) in the sequence. Since you begin with 3, end with 24, and go up by 7 each time, the series is 3, 10, 17, 24. (The common difference is the difference between each term in the sequence.) This means that n=4{\displaystyle n=4}  Determine the first (a1{\displaystyle a_{1}}) and last (an{\displaystyle a_{n}}) terms in the sequence. Since the sequence is 3 to 24, a1=3{\displaystyle a_{1}=3} and an=24{\displaystyle a_{n}=24}. Find the average of a1{\displaystyle a_{1}} and an{\displaystyle a_{n}}: 3+242=13.5{\displaystyle {\frac {3+24}{2}}=13.5}. Multiply the average by n{\displaystyle n}: 13.5×4=54{\displaystyle 13.5\times 4=54}. Mara saves 5 dollars the first week of the year. For the rest of the year, she increases her weekly savings by 5 dollars every week. How much money does Mara save by the end of the year?  Determine the number of terms (n{\displaystyle n}) in the sequence. Since Mara save for 52 weeks (1 year), n=52{\displaystyle n=52}. Determine the first (a1{\displaystyle a_{1}}) and last (an{\displaystyle a_{n}}) terms in the sequence. The first amount she saves is 5 dollars, so a1=5{\displaystyle a_{1}=5}. To find out the amount she saves the last week of the year, calculate 5×52=260{\displaystyle 5\times 52=260}. So an=260{\displaystyle a_{n}=260}. Find the average of a1{\displaystyle a_{1}} and an{\displaystyle a_{n}}: 5+2602=132.5{\displaystyle {\frac {5+260}{2}}=132.5}. Multiply the average by n{\displaystyle n}: 132.5×52=6,890{\displaystyle 132.5\times 52=6,890}. So she saves $6,890 by the end of the year.
