Friends in your life are like pillars on your porch. Sometimes they hold you up and sometimes they lean on you. Sometimes it,s just enough to know they,re standing by. Friendship doubles your joy and divides your sorrow. A friendship is priceless and should be developed.
♦Remembering the golden rule
Without a doubt, the greatest human relations principle is to treat other people like you want to be treated. When you show respect for your friends and gratitude for their friendship, you,ll be blesd in untold ways.
Whatever the cau of others, rudeness, you don,t have to accentuate（ 突出）the proble
m. A kind word or a gentle, understanding smile may help the person more than returned rudeness would.
♦Considering enemies as friends
A friend looks after your own good. On the other hand, a foe（ 敌人）is someone who isn't interested in your well-being.
Yet some students view their teachers as enemies. However, a studenfs success in school partly depends on the teacher,s effectiveness in the classroo m. Instead of being an enemy, a teacher who corrects you and helps you to achieve can be the best friend you ever had.
So change this kind of thinking and adjust yourlf a little, both of you are better off.
♦Making friends by being an optimist
Do you enjoy being around a pessimist, someone who is generally described as being ab
le to brighten up a room just by leaving it? The answer is obvious. Most people have a preference for being around people who believe that tomorrow is going to be better than today, rather than people who believe that today is even wor than yesterday.

Smile when you e someone. You don,t have to give a wide grin-just a pleasant, friendly smile.

Don,t be mean or rude; you do not want to lo any potential friends. Be nice and friendly. If you want to make friends, you first need to put yourlf out there somehow in order to meet people. If you just sit alone, friends might come to you, but the odds are much smaller. f you,re still in school, sit somewhere with other people. It doesn,t have to be the ''popular'' or ''cool'' table, or a crowded one, but one with at least two other people. Hang out with many others. The popular kids won't matter when you're older, but a true friend will be there for you forever.
