Choose good friends who are good for you 该选择甚么样的朋友呢？结交益友就对了！
by Pamela Osment
The Scottish poet Robert Louis Stevenson once said, “A friend is a gift you give yourself.” So when choosing friends, be careful to give yourself good “gifts.” The letters in the word friend will show you how to choose your friends!
F is for fun
Choose friends you can have fun with and with whom you can be yourself.
R is for righteous
Choose friends who will help you make good decisions. Genuine friends want you to become the very best you can be!
I is for intimate
Close, personal friends know your faults and like you anyway. You should be able to share your hopes, dreams and fears with them.
The Scottish poet Robert Louis Stevenson once said, "A friend is a gift you give yourself." So when choosing friends be careful to give yourself.
E is for encouraging
When you face challenges, friends encourage you to not give up but to do your best. They give you hope and help you look forward to the future.
N is for near
Good friends won't abandon you during the bad times. You should be able to count on friends to be available when you need them.
D is for direct
Real friends care enough to tell you what you need to hear. They won't just say what you want to hear.
Since friends can be for life it's important to choose the best ones!
More information
William Shakespeare once described a friend as someone who knows you as you are, understands where you have been, accepts what you have become, and still, gently allows you to grow.
Ralph Waldo Emerson famously stated "The only way to have a friend is to be one."
Another famous friendship proverb reminds us that People are judged by the company they keep and the company they keep away from.
