You may have a lot of friends and expect your friendship to last a lifetime. However, lifelong friendships are not ________ what everybody can get. Friends sometimes misunderstand each other. For one thing, you may want your _______ to be near at hand, but also you need your independence (独立).
For example, when one of your friends comes asking _______ it is all right to spend the evening in your house, sometimes you just say “_____” to him or her because it is not convenient for you. Unfortunately, not all your friends _______ this type of independence. They believe that friends can ask for any favor and the answer should always be “yes”.
Also, misunderstanding sometimes happens when you ask for ______. You expect your friends to help you whenever you need. But the fact is, your friends may not always drop everything to satisfy _______ of your needs. This may make you ______ with them and your friendship could end. The most important thing for you and your friends to do is to always show understanding and respect for each other.
Lifelong friendships don’t develop overnights. In a true friendship, both people equally _______ each other. Long-term friendships provide the time to build up a _____ together. As you spend more time with your friend, you are creating special times and stocking up (存储) on memories.

In one class, I gave the students an assignment (作业) to a poem. I only made the assignment worth a very small part of their total grade since I knew most of my would not do it anyway. In the class, one by one each student to correctly recite (背诵) the poem. Finally, angry and half joking, I said that the next student who recite the poem had to do three push-up (俯卧撑).

I wanted to say, “Tina, I was just !”But she , continued the poem and she finished the rest perfectly.
When she finished, a student asked, “Tina, why did you do that? It’s not an important assignment!”

Silence fell on the whole room when another student cried out, “Tina, we’re not normal! We are teenagers!
We get in all the time.”

worth a lot more than a grade.

He laughed and said I had probably him, but I had changed his life. He said that twelve years ago he was in stress management class. I asked the group what their number one stress was and of them, including him, said it was their .
He said I listened carefully and then took a chair and placed it in the center of the room. I on the chair for a few minutes and then I invited everyone to do the same.

Then I asked them to their bosses. Was this the same person who had seen their good and hired them? Do they remember how happy they were to be for the job? How did these wonderful people become terrible bosses?
He said I looked at him and asked if he had said thank you to his boss for the opportunity to make a living. He answered no.
