Friendship

The word, friend, covers a wide range of meanings. It can be a nodding acquaintance, a comrade, a confidant, a partner, a playmate, an intimate colleague, etc. Everyone need friendship. No one can sail the ocean of life single-handed. We need help from, and also give help to, others. Everyone needs friends. If you fail to make friends, you should examine yourself and see if there is something wrong with your personality. Maybe you have social faults such as snobbishness, talkativeness, using slang, etc. which drive away new acquaintances. Whatever your social faults may be, look at them honestly, and make real effort to correct them. To be friendly you must feel friendly. Cheerfulness is the basis of friendliness. A cheerful person smiles. A smile is a magnet which draws people. Smile at someone and you are sure to get a smile in return. A friendly person does his best to make a stranger feel at home, wherever he happens to be. Put yourself in the other fellow’s place and make him fell welcome. Try to remember names. It makes your new acquaintance feel happy when you call him by his name. it gives him the feeling that he has made an impression on you and that must mean something to him because you remember him. If you don’t agree with other people on a certain matter, you should appear to be friendly. Do not argue, but discuss. You always lose friends if you argue too much. A friendly person thinks of others and does not insist on his own “right”. People who refuse to consider others have few friends. Finally, don’t treat people according to their social positions. Really friendly people respect everyone at all times. I have friends in high positions and friends in the rank and file. Some are rich and in power. Some are relatively poor and without power. Some are like myself, working as a teacher, reading and writing, content with a simple life. We care for each other, love and help each other. We feel we are happiest when we chat and exchange ideas with one another. With my friends, I know what to treasure, what to tolerate and what to share.

友谊朋友的意思很广。朋友可以是点头之交、同志、知己、伙伴、游伴、亲密的同事等等。人人都需要友谊，没有人能独自在人生的海洋中航行。我们需要别人的帮助，也给人以帮助。每个人都需要朋友。如果你交友失败，你应审视自己，看看你自己的个性有没有问题。也许又像势利眼、长舌、说俚语等这样的社交缺点驱走了你的新相识。不管你的社交缺点是什么，正视它们，努力改掉它们。要友善，你必须有友善之感。令人愉快是有意的基础。一个令人愉快的人总是满面微笑。微笑是吸引人的磁铁。对人微笑，你肯定会看到他对你报以微笑。友好的人不管在何处总是尽力让陌生人感到像在家里一样自在。将自己放在他人的位置上，就会使他人感到颇受欢迎。设法记住他人的名字，对你新交直呼其名会使他感到快乐，他会觉得他给你留下了印象，这对他一定很重要，因为你记得他。如果你在某件事上与人意见不同，你应该表表现出友好的态度。不要争吵，要商讨。吵得太厉害往往会失去朋友。友好的人替别人着想，不坚持自己的“正确观点”。不考虑他人意见的人不会有什么朋友。最好，不要按社会地位代人。真正友好的人任何时候都尊敬他人。我有地位高的朋友，也有地位低的朋友。有的有权有钱，有的无权无钱。有的和我一样当教书先生，读读写写，满足于俭朴的生活。我们都互相关心，互相帮助。我们觉得朋友们在以闲聊、交流思想是最让人感到高兴的。对我的朋友，我知道该珍惜什么，容忍什么，分享什么。
