INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Don't try to change how you look or act just to try and impress other people since it may not come across as genuine. Try your best at everything you do and know that it's okay if things don't go perfectly the way you planned. Avoid comparing yourself to other people and focus on the things that you enjoy doing and make you unique. Surround yourself with people that make you feel good about yourself rather than people that bring you down. Confident people seem more engaged and assertive, so it can make you seem more attractive to other people. When you make a decision, avoid backing out or changing your position on it randomly since it may make you seem like you're unsure. Practice being confident by talking to people you haven't reached out to, making eye contact, and trying new things. Avoid being overly apologetic since it can make you seem uncertain or anxious. Don't compare yourself to other people since you don't know what they may also be dealing with. Others are usually more attracted to people that are caring rather than those who are rude. Give people your full attention while you're talking to them and avoid getting distracted. Use your manners when you're interacting with them by using "please" and "thank you" when you need to. Try helping others out without them asking if you notice them struggling with something. Avoid talking about people behind their backs or making fun of them since it can make you seem uncaring. People who have a positive outlook on life seem more attractive than others with a negative attitude. Look at the bright side of each situation so you can find things to be happy about.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: A single stake method works best with a bare root tree, or a tree that was dug out of the ground when leafless and that had all of its soil shaken from its roots. Select a bamboo or wooden stake for small and medium sized trees or if you've got a larger tree on your hands, use a metal stake. Select an angled stake if you're concerned about letting your tree have room to flex and build up its own strength. Select a tall, straight stake if your tree is top heavy. Dig a hole 68 inches (15.220.3cm) deep about 2 inches (5.1cm) from the base of the primary branch on the windward side of the tree, or the side with the prevailing wind. If planted on this side, your tree will pull away from the stake instead of rubbing against it. If you're doing preventive staking, place your stake in the ground before you plant your tree. This will prevent damage to the roots of your tree if you accidentally hammer your stake into them. Once your tree has been planted, look for the primary branch that supports the most growth. This is typically near the center, but if you have a tree that has split down the center, there may be 2 primary branches. Using a material with a flat, broad surface, such as elastic or a wire inside of a rubber hose, tie the branch to several locations on the stake for firm support. You should use a figure eight loop to tie the branch to the stake in order to prevent the stake rubbing up against the stem. Take care not to use a tie that is a bare cord or wire as these will cut into the tree and damage it. After one growing season your tree's root system should've spread out enough to fully support the tree without additional help from stakes. Remove the stakes and save them to reuse on another tree or bush. You could always leave the stakes in place after removing the ties. Then you'll have a barrier to protect the tree from lawn mowers.

SUMMARY:
Select one bamboo or wooden stake. Insert the stake on the windward side of the tree. Locate the primary branch. Tie the primary branch to the stake of the way up the stem. Remove the stakes after one growing season.
