It is annoying when someone commits to something today and forgets about it tomorrow. Despite good intentions, memory lapses usually cause you great inconvenience. A diary is sure to address this problem. It can help you meet deadlines and accomplish goals.

Mentor someone

The great thing about experience is that it teaches wisdom to those who are willing to learn. For those of us who have acquired some wisdom, it's only fair that we share our knowledge with someone else. Perhaps its someone from your alma mater or a kid in the community, helping someone is always a good thing to do. There are so many persons who need someone to guide them, whether academically or in the development of life and social skills.

Be thoughtful

There is nothing wrong with you if you live in a 'tenement yard'. Five people from different families can live in a house without domestic drama. The negative stigma attached to this term is largely due to people who don't care about others. They are the ones who play loud music throughout the night, or borrow things and never return them. Even if this behaviour is adopted in an office, it's quite likely that the workplace will become a 'tenement' too.
