EDUCATIONAL GUIDE FOR TEUMES:

I know we all want the best for the boys, but we have to draw the line between demanding and simply complaining.

a. To demand - to make an insistent request, made as if by right.
b. To complain - to express dissatisfaction, pain, or uneasiness
1. DELINEATE.

Teumes can easily complain regarding issues or demand things that we think our boys deserve. When you complain, you cannot just rant about an issue and not propose anything that might help the situation. Thus, demands are derived from valid complaints.
2. ROOT IT OUT.

Before saying a word, either a complain or a demand, know first the situation. When you already know the issue, ASSESS. Was there really an issue to be discussed? Is the issue that relevant? Does the issue need immediate action? Should we demand something for it?
3. KNOW THE REAL ENEMY.

When you already know the issue, you'll easily identify what/who to target. And always attack the issue not the the person. If there are two stand points, can they meet in the middle? Do they have a common ground? What exactly are they fighting for?
4. LISTEN.

Do not invalidate other people's concerns. If a person said there's something wrong, we all have to listen and try to analyze it constructively. Is the concern valid? Let the person explain his/her thoughts. Do not cancel out ideas nor silence other people's voice.
5. KNOW YOUR STAND.

If you agree with anything that person is trying to say, acknowledge it. From there, you'll have a common ground. If you have contentions, raise them politely. Tell that person what's it that's holding you back from agreeing to his arguments.
(cont.)

If you think the person's concern is totally invalid, educate--tell him/ her why. If you think the concern is valid, but you do not agree with the arguments, then give a concrete explanation as to why his arguments are faulty. Don't just immediately cancel.
6. BE OPEN.

If other people tries to educate you, listen to them. Be open for criticisms, and only allow constructive criticisms.

7. PLAN AND ACT

If you have already talked about the issue properly, listened to both sides, has found the common ground and the real enemy, PLAN.
(cont.)

Should we demand to address the issue we are complaining? Then how should we demand properly? DEMAND COLLECTIVELY. If we really want a concern to be addressed, then we need more people to demand for it. Regardless if we are directly affected, if it is needed, go for it.
8. AFTERMATH.

Always remember who you represent. Always remember how you could affect the person your represent with your words and stances. Always remember to be humane. Do not go beyond the line nor hit below the belt. Always remember that both of you have good and bad points.
9. LOVE.

Treasure maker is not just a fandom but a family. Do not come after each other. There's always a proper way to fix issues. And since you're family, even not by blood, but in the name of Treasure, always find a way to reconcile and forgive.
10. BE MATURED.
