10 Tips For Being A Good Friend.
 
1. FOCUS ON WHAT YOU CAN GIVE TO A FRIEND,
 NOT WHAT YOU CAN GET OUT OF A FRIENDSHIP.
 
 If being happy is your only motive for
 wanting someone to be your friend, then you are not
 being a real friend. Don't get caught up in
 keeping tab's on who has given most in the
 friendship. Give to your friends regardless of how much they
 give to you.
 
  2. ENCOURAGE YOUR FRIEND.
 
 Real friends inspire and push each other to
 be the best that they can be, rather than drag
 each other down. They are happy when other
 people achieve their goals.
 
 3. BE WILLING TO FORGIVE.
 
 Don't let hurt turn to grudge. This is one
 sure way to destroy a friendship. Forgive
 your friend and move on.
 
  4. TACTFULLY POINT OUT THEIR MISTAKES.
 
 This is one way to show concern for others.
 If you realy care, you will tactfully point
 out a specific example for his own good. But once you've
 brought the problem to your friends attention, don't
 harp on it all the time. Don't walk away from a friendship
 when you see some of your friends faults. Be patient with a
 friend as he or she tries to change. Realize that nobody is
 perfect.
 
 5. BE RELIABLE.
 When you say you are going to be there, be there.
 
 6. DON'T TRY TO CONTROL YOUR FRIENDS.
 
 Real friendship does not mean you always have
 to be together. It maybe tempting to have a
 fun person all to your self, and feel threatened when
 your friends spends time with others. If you are
 afraid to  let your friends out of your sight, you are
 probably afraid of losing them. Good friendship will
 endure time spent apart. You and your friends may
 learn to appreciate each other even more.
 

 7. BE THERE FOR THE GOOD AND THE BAD TIMES.
 
 Celebrate with them if your friends are
 excited about something. But don't be there
 just for the  good times. When your friend is upset
 about something, give them your full attention. Most
 of the time, what friends really need is a sympathetic
 ear, someone who understand their feelings.
 
 8. LEARN TO ACCEPT PERSONALITY DIFFERENCES
 IN YOUR FRIENDS.
 
 Be careful not to evaluate other people by how
 you react in a particular situation. Do not
 automatically take your friends behavior personally.
 
 9. DON'T BE A BLABBERMOUTH.
 
 Learn and be willing to keep each other's
 secrets.
 
 10. DONT'T LET ARGUMENTS DESTROY YOUR
 FRIENDSHIP.
 
 Suppose you're having a discussion with a
 friend and after you've said what you think
 is true, they still disagree. Don't keep arguing
 until you get mad with each other.Just drop it.
 Your desire to win the argument
 may ruin  your friendship.
