friendly, and inspiring. sometimes his ideas pay off in a huge way. he is very successful. but this brilliant, creative, friendly man has a bit of difficulty when it comes to small commitments. these little behaviors are annoying things lastminute cancellations, missed phone calls, and the like. while they do trouble my life a little bit, its nothing really major that would make me back out of the relationship. philip always apologizes for these minor defects. i always accept his apology. when i take all the good things and weigh them against the times hes let me down, he is so far ahead that he gets a “lifetime pass”. and, i tell him so. when i do, he feels good and i feel better for forgiving him. to this day, we are friends. i am his friend because when i consider someones actions, i ask myself, “am i better off or worse off because of having this person in my life？”with philip, the answer has always been, and will always be, in his favor. philip has been such a good friend and having him in my life has been such a good thing that i am grateful. this will always override (忽略) any of his “negative” behaviors. thats a lifetime pass. how many people do you have in your life to
