Lesson 32: Siblings and Friends - Slide 39
Defining Friendship
- Trying to force a friend to meet all our needs is a useless and potentially destructive exercise
- People have significantly better friendships when they know and can easily describe what each friend contributes to the relationship
- A true friend is someone who
measurably improves your
life, a person in your work
or personal life whom you
can’t afford to live without
