I suppose that all the people have had somebody whom they have called friend; the friends are necessary to develop the personality and they are important part of the enjoy the life.

The friends give sadness, joys and thousand moments that we maintain in ours memory.
What is the paper of your friends in your life?

At the first sight of the title, I thought you meant the famous US sitcom Friends Very Happy

Yes, friends are necessary for everyone I think. and we always have different friends in different phases. I still keep my old friends by email, phonecall or visiting when I make new friends.

Right now my best friend is my daughter. She is smart and naughty, I bet she will be my lifelong friend.

Nice! Like me and my son.

I have a few very important friends I can trust with anything. I also have many acquaintances.

These are my rules about friends:

Be A True Friend (是一真实朋友)
I will build meaningful honest friendships and relationships. Anything less is a waste of time, and becomes an acquaintance or something less.

Choose Quality Friends (有真正的朋友)
Young at heart, open minded, and intelligent, internationally diverse. This keeps my mind open, my curiosity high, my leisure time creative, and my conversation interesting.

Speaking of true friends, I am sure I do have them and I am a true friend of them. I would rather do many dangerous things for them.

Back in my high school year, my best friend wanted to join an exam by which she could get a job. but she was not good at study, we all didn't think she could pass that exam. so I offered my help. I told her:"How about I go to this exam for you. you see, we look very similar, as long as I have my hair cut to make it exactly look like your hair, and then I will go to the camera to take a picture... people won't recognize that's me." she said:"really? that's pretty dangerous! but it is worth trying."

I did. when I was going on the test paper, I felt extremely nervous! thank god!! the inspector didn't find anything wrong with me!! and finally I passed this exam, and my best friend got this job.

In this respect, I was a true friend of her Laughing

You can shrink it (make it smaller) or crop it (cut out part of it) If you need help, send me a PM (private message).
