Basic: Qualities of a Good Friend

What makes a good friend? Firstly, a good friend is someone you can

trust. When you tell them your problems, you can be sure that your secrets are

破坏 说闲话
safe with them. They will not ruin your good name by gossiping about you to

others.

出于尊重
A good friend is also honest with you. Out of respect, they will not tell

you what you want to hear but what you need to hear, because the bitter truth

苦涩的真相胜过甜蜜的谎言
is better than sweet lies. Whatever decisions you make, they will not judge you.

They will trust you to know what’s best for yourself and be there to lend a

helping hand if you need them.

While everyone wishes to find a good friend, it is also important that we

体现了好朋友的品质
become that embody the qualities of a good friend ourselves and be that person

someone else can rely on.
