User-friendly

I can't remember exactly when we started to use the term "user-friendly". Initially, we used it in jest but, we've come to a realization that, indeed, there is a user-friendly in each of us.

For others, the term user-friendly maybe a big turn-off. Personally, I say that it depends on how you practice the concept. You can be a user-friendly person but in a nice way, meaning, you "use" other people's strengths to gain something but in return, you allow yourself to be used as well. Or you can be that user-friendly person that everybody wants to avoid, meaning you abuse other people's trust and talent for your personal gain. Everything, of course, is dependent on how you would execute the concept (hehehehe).

Here's an advice, when you practice the concept, please, don't make it too obvious. Don't act as it you're all good and kindness towards the person you're planning to use then deliberately ignore him/her after you're done with him/her. You might not get the chance to "use" that person again. What's worse? You'll probably lose your "usefulness" as well.
