Always honest

Honesty is important to keep a relationship alive.     2     It may be hard sometimes but lying can destroy a friendship. It is important that your friend speaks honestly and never makes up stories.

Always there for you

10 . Have you ever wondered why you choose a certain place to sit in a new classroom, in a waiting room or on a bus? Here are some interesting facts.

Certainly, girls sit by girls and boys sit by boys. Old people sit together and young people choose another young person to sit near. But it goes further than this. We even choose to sit near someone who looks like us. People with glasses would sit near other people with glasses. People with long hair sit closer to those with long hair.

Most of us are afraid to walk out of our comfort zones (舒适区). We seem to believe that people with similar habits or hobbies share similar ideas about life. And they will accept each other more easily. Sometimes that’s true but it’s not good if we only hang out with the same people, the same group. How can we ever break the barriers which stop us from getting to know people with different ideas? We might lose the chance to learn something new, find out about interesting things, hear funny stories and see differently.

Move out of your comfort zone. Go and sit next to someone different. And don’t just sit there without saying a word. Say hello. Ask a question. Start a small talk. That’s how we make friends. That’s how we learn about people. That’s how we open our minds to new ideas. That’s how we live an exciting life.
