I remember growing up,my mom always said, "Half the n of doing anything is sharing it with other." It's so true.Friends and mates allow us to savor our success and our joys, comfort us in our challenging moments, and provide a ror for us to learn about ourselves. I've always looked at friends as the family we choose. They enrich our lives. As Robert Louis Stn once said, "A friend is a present which you give yourself."
To be a good friend or partner, it's important to be a good listener. Hear what your friend or mate has to say first rather than jumping to conclusions or getting defensive. Sometimes it is usel to be their ror, for when they hear their words repeated back to them, it can them to realize that what they said was not exactly what they meant to say.
Patience, compassion and empathy are also important traits in being a good friend or partner. You know the old golden rule,"Care for others the way you would like them to care for you." The support of a friend during a tough time could make the difference between success and failure. Encouragement and confidence are priceless gifts that can change a person's Life.
Take care, though, with whom you choose to have close relationships for they can have a tremendous impact on your self-esteem and life path. As someone once told me, "The attitudes of your friends are like the buttons on an elevator.They will either take you up or down."
给生活多一份爱
我记得在长大的过程中，我母亲总是说，“做事的一半乐趣来自与他人分享。”这是非常正确的。朋友和伙伴让我们品尝成功和喜悦的滋味，在我们面临挑战时安慰我们，让我们自我反省以更好地认识自己。我经常把朋友看作我们所选择的家庭。他们丰富了我们的生活。正如罗伯特·斯·所说，“朋友是你给自己的礼物。”
要成为一位或好伙伴，成为好的倾听者是很重要的。先要倾听你的朋友或伙伴说什么而不是急于下结论，或是心存戒心。有时成为他们的镜子是很重要的，因为当他们听到他们所说的话被重复时，这会帮他们意识到他们所说的并非他们真正想说的。
耐心、热情和同情心也是成为或好伙伴的重要品质。你知道一条老规矩：“要像你期待他们关爱你一样关怀他人。”在最困难的时候，朋友的支持是成功与失败的关
键。鼓励和自信是改变一个人一生的珍贵礼物。
但要小心选择与你保持亲密关系的朋友，因为他们会对你的自尊心与生活道路产生重大影响。正如有人对我说过：“朋友的态度就像电梯的按钮，他们会使你上升，也会使
你下降。”
