Friendship
Friends play an important part in our lives, and although we may take the fact of friendship for granted, we often don't clearly understand how we make friends. While we get on well with a number of people, we are usually friends with only a very few--for example, the average among students is about 6 per person.
Moreover, a great many relationships come under the blanket term “friendship”, In all cas, two people like each other and enjoy being together, but beyond that, the degree of intimacy between them and the reasons for their mutual interest vary enormously.
Initially, much depends on how people meet, and on favorable first impressions. As we get to know people, we take into account things like age, race, physical attractiveness, economic and social status,
perturband intelligence. Although the factors are not of prime importance, it is more difficult to relate to people when there is a marked difference in age and background.
On a more immediate level, we are nsitive to actual behavior, facial expression, and tone of voice. Friends will stand clor together and will spend more time looking at each other than mere acquaintances. Smiles and soft voices also express friendliness, and it is becau they may transmit the wrong signals that shy people often have difficulty in making friends. A friendly gaze with the wrong facial expression can turn into an aggressive stare, and nervousness may be misread as hostility. People who do not look one in the eye are mistrusted when, in fact, they simply lack confidence.
Some relationships thrive on argument and discussion, but it is usual for clo friends to have similar ideas and beliefs, to have attitudes and interests in common--they often talk about being on the same wavelength”.It generally takes time to reach this point, sometimes people ''click" immediately. The more intimately involved people become the more they rely on one another. People want to do friends favors and hate to let them down. Equally, friends have to learn to make allowances for each other, to put up with irritating habits, and to tolerate differences of opinion. Imagine going camping with someone you occasionally meet for a drink.
In contrast with marriage, there are no friendship ceremonies, no rituals to strengthen the association between two people. But the mutual support and understanding that results from shared experience and emotions does em to create a powerful bond, which can overborne differences in background, and break down barriers of age, class or race.

Our quarrel with efficiency is not that it gets things done, but that it is a thief of time when it leaves us no leisure to enjoy ourlves, and that it strains our nerves when we try to get things done perfectly. In building bridges, American engineers calculate so finely and exactly as to make the two ends come together within one-tenth of an inch. But when two Chine begin to dig a tunnel from both sides of a mountain both come out on the other side. --The Chine’s firm belief is that it doesn’t m atter so long as a tunnel is dug through, and if we have two instead of one, why, we have a double track to boot.

Every American adult is arranging his time on the pattern of the schoolboy - three o’clock for this, five o’clock for that, six-thirty for change of dress, six-fifty for entering the taxi, and ven o’clock for arriving at the destination.
