You borrow an iPhone from a friend and accidentally break it. by Mind Map: You borrow an iPhone from a friend and accidentally break it.

1. Explore the Alternatives Blame it on another, lie to your friend, pay for the phone, "lose" the phone, or even try to replace it with your own and hope they don't notice

1.1. Consider the Consequences In almost all of the cases above, you would lie to your friend(s). You would break a trust, and you would probably lose those friends as well. However, if you pay for the phone and accept responsibility for your actions, then your friends will still trust you (just not with their phones)

1.1.1. Identify Your Values As a person, I am very honest (to a point where I sometimes may be rude). I also know that I may lie if I am stressed out or afraid, so some of the outcomes above (very rarely) may occur for me.

1.1.1.1. Decide and Act I have decided that paying for the phone would be the best choice for me, because I need to accept responsibility for my actions. While it will cost me money, it will not cost me my friendships.

1.1.1.1.1. Evaluate the Results My decision worked out. My friend respected that I didn't mean to break his phone, but I am willing to pay for the damage I caused. Next time I won't break his phone.
