Situation #1 Dennis accidentally dropped his phone in a deep stream near their camp site. Check out the advice of his friend to him.

Dennis: Oh my gosh I dropped my phone in the stream!

Ben: The stream is ruled by strong current, and I don’t think it’s good for you to swim this time.

Dennis: I hate myself for being careless. I haven’t even completed paying for it.  I want to really hurt myself right now!

Ben:  It’s  no use crying over spilled milk my friend; you have to deal with it. Your life is more important than that smartphone anyway. Just get a new one when you get a new part time job.

Situation #2 Jane tells her friends that she regrets going to the foreign university fair. Find out why  🙂

Jane: I hate myself for letting loose last night.

Dale: Everybody had a great time in the university fair. What happened to you ?

Jane: I lost my wallet perhaps while drinking with the new people I met. I’m not really sure how. I have always been a great student. Why do these things happen? Am I a bad person ?

May: You are not a bad person and having fun once in a while isn’t bad. Dwelling on the bad won’t make you feel better.

Dale: It’s no use crying over spilled milk ; you need to start making reports now and cancel your cards.

May:We will help you with the processing and if you need some cash we can lend you.

Jane: Thank you so much guys. I think I would be okay.
