Question

  Do you live in a neighborhood where you feel safe and connected with others,or do you feel unsafe in your surroundings (环境) ？

    There are many factors that can affect the level of both happiness and stress in your neighborhood.

   Share Resources ： I know people in some friendly neighborhoods who share dinners. Others trade fruit from their trees. A neighbor who borrows a few eggs may come back with a plate of cookies. Knowing neighbors increases your ability to share.

    Security (安全) ：Knowing the people around you can bring a sense of security. You may need someone to call the police if he or she sees someone lurking (潜伏) outside your house,and it's nice to know and help each other.

   Home Pride： Knowing the people who live around you provides a strengthened sense of pride in your home and neighborhood.

The following are some ideas that can help you feel more at home in your neighborhood.

   Smile: It's simple enough. If you’re not in the habit of smiling or giving a friendly hello to the people you meet in your neighborhood,it's a good habit to start. While not everyone will return the friendliness at once,it's a quick way to get to know people and build relationships.

    Talk to Elders： The elder members of the neighborhood often have the inside news of the neighborhood. If you stop to spend time talking with a sweet old lady at the end of the block,you may be surprised at how much you can learn.
