Friendship Lessons for Maintaining Best Friends

• Don't start your own story until you have heard your friend's story.
• Be impeccable with your word. Think of the consequences of the committments you make before you make them and not afterward. A lasting friendship is built on trust, not on creative excuses used to break agreements.
• People love chopping wood because in this activity they see immediate results. Friendship takes a little longer.
• When a friend offers to help, let him, even if you don't particularly need the help. Accept even if he slows you down. This will kill two birds with one stone. You will make your friend feel good and spend quality time with your friend.
• If you promise big to a friend, deliver big. Better still, deliver even bigger than you promised.
• Let your adventurous spirit triumph over your rational mind.
