So, for the past month, I’ve been flowers in a little cup on the sink in the bathroom. Each week, I the flowers and the quote.

Have you ever wondered how to work out who your true friends really are? Here are a few tips for you to exactly who your true friends are.
First, it’s very difficult, especially you’re in a large group of friends where you have a very different range of . Some of them may be goof-offs or clowns, some of them may be very and intense, and some of them may just be the run of the mill(普通的) friends. However, in your life, when you’re looking for a friend, you want the friend that’s really going to be there for you when you need him or her and some positive information and positive attention.
So, I guess a good rule of thumb(单凭经验的方法) when you’re looking for a true friend, or who your true friends are, is to find the ones that really you when the going gets rough. That is, when you’re in a pot, they’re really there for you, being supportive, listening and trying to help you for yourself what you might want to do. A true friend will also you for who you are and not try to make you into something else that’s different. For , if you have a bat habit, they are going to accept you with that bad habit, the rest of the habits, instead of just ridiculing you about it, at you about it, or putting you down. We all have our shortcomings, and a true friend is one who accepting of you, no matter what your are.
It is very hard to the true friends, especially from a large group of friends, as the personalities began to mesh(匹配) over time. So, its you to be very aware, watch your friends, and look back at who’s really been there for you in your difficult situations.

I noticed something unusual in the parking lot as I turned off one of the main roads in my town the other day.
There’s a wide grassy land in front of their parking lot, where people often put up announcing their yard on sale. That’s what was happening that day, but the sight me was worthy of a double take. When I saw it, I hesitated for a moment before reacting to it. I made sure finally that I really saw a man in a suit was a sign into the ground and a homeless man in ragged clothing was the sign while he hammered.
I was by how the two men looked so exactly : One was wearing a soldier suit, snowy white shirt and matched tie, but the other was wearing , mismatched clothing, with uncombed hair waving in the wind. And then the humanity of the moment hit me. So many times we homeless people and all we see is just homeless people. But on that day, I saw the kindness of a man who walked over to help while he hammered his sign into the ground. The moment really me, and it was a fresh reminder to look the outward appearance and see the person instead.
A friend and I had the a few years ago to write a study guide to a book. It’s an amazing book. That was evident from the first page when I read the dedication (题词) and it , “To Titus, who taught me to cheer for humanity.”
Wow, more of us did that? Can you imagine a it would make in our world? In one of the chapters, Sammy tells about sitting in large crowds at places, like shops and airports, and for humanity. It does things. Just imagine an old lady down the street becomes a wounded soul, who just needs someone to her and a homeless person on the street becomes a real person, someone who needs concern and a helping hand.
