How to make trip happier?


A quite simple topic however as life we at times forget to make trip as lively as it can be.
There are some simple things which can help make our trip happier.

Before going for a trip always ask yourself a simple question.
“Why am I going to this trip?”
If you don't find a good reason; don't go for it.
At the very start I would suggest not to go for trip with people you find it difficult to adjust.

What I feel; purpose of any trip is to hang out with friends. Travel / Eat / laugh.
Explore trill of new places.
At the same time it is a time to get to know each other. Seldom do we understand that it’s more of company than of places.

When in a group of 4-5 people one realizes how much different each one is from the other and so are the ideas.
It is difficult yet great experience trying to understand each person’s opinion.
For this you should at least be a good listener. A good listner brings unity in team.

Sometime it becomes difficult to move as a team.
At that point someone needs to compromise a little. However I assure you; later someday you feel good about it.
After all this is what being friends is all about.

There will be times when some wrong decisions will be made.
It may be that even it may result in some unnecessary expense.
However it is not the time to say “I had told you…”
At that time a sensible and friendly approach is to come forward and say ‘Its ok buddy… let’s try out something else”
Remember once we are discussing something we may have ideas per individual but once we have agreed and decided to go for an idea. It is no longer the idea of individual; it is the idea of team.
So if the idea doesn’t work; it is your very own team that lose and not the individual who put forth the idea.

Don't be always after very logical and calculated approach. Man! You are not writing mathematics exam! Other people may feel very uncomfortsble being with you.
Better approach is to keep moving... keep enjoying.
(I never mean to go insane).

At a trip always be considerate about the language you use. Try to use common language that can be understood by everybody.
I know when having fun there is a natural tendency to start using mother tongue but it is all about maturity. This applies even to the songs that you play in a trip.
Give it a thought from the other person perspective.

Try to eat at reasturants where everyone can find something good.

Take initiative in coming forward and handling team things. Let not everything fall on one person's shoulder. If not atleast thank and appreciate your friend who is doing it. The word 'thank you' has all its magic.

In trips while having fun we normally pull legs of one - another. At that time you need to take it sportingly. Don't think too much over comments. There is a saying "Nobody can insult you without your permission".

We definetly need to keep looking for no one being left alone at any time during the trip. Trip is about going together. Waiting for a friend for a few minutes while he completes his coffee / snap, makes a big difference.
While we are making a choice of place (where all to go) often few are left behined whom we even forget to ask"Hey! where would you like to go?"
This question reflects how much you care for your friends feelings.
Remmember a simple thing as calling a friend for snap can bring smile on the face of your friend.
Golden rule: "Trip in a group is more about 'We' and not 'me'."

Everyone who goes in trip wants to return back happy. I don't want you to come back with thoughts like "Why did I went for the trip?"
Hope next time you return from a trip you have only good feelings to carry forward.

Laugh... Laugh and Laugh to your heart at trip :)
