I drove Dad into Mijas and make sure to pick him up at 4 p.m, then drove to a nearby garage and dropped off the car.

Im telling the truth.”“I called the garage to ask if there were any problems, and they told me you had not yet picked up the car. So I know there were no problems with the car. Im angry, not with you but with myself. You see, Ive failed as a father. Im going to walk home now and think carefully about where I have gone wrong all these years.”“But Dad, its 18 miles to home.

Let us see some important points that we should take care of if we wish to be a good friend for someone. Be a secret admirer (崇拜者) of your friend: If your friend is good at something, then do not praise him just in front of him. Praising (表扬) a person for what he is good at does not improve his qualities. It surely will do harm to your friend. A good friend should never miss an opportunity to praise his friend in front of others when he is not around. Pull your friend away from making mistakes: If your friend is doing something wrong, it is your duty to let him know it at earliest. Keep in mind: A best friend has to play a role of critic (批评家) if he wants his friend to stop doing wrong things. But keep in mind not to show your friends mistakes in front of other people. It will spoil your friends image in others view. And additionally your friendship will be in danger. Sometimes it is important to understand your friends intentions (意图) behind his actions and try to analyze the situation (分析情形), then only you should give your opinion. Try to understand your friend: It is always important to understand what your friend is worried about or what problem he is facing. Always try to understand the situation your friend is in and try to calm him. It is obvious that if people have some problems, they will not speak up their problems to their brothers or sisters, they will instead tell everything to their friends. Let your friend speak up, just listen to him until your friend feels better. Try to teach good things: if you are a true friend, you should never give your hungry friend a fish, instead, you should teach him how to fish. This will give your friend food for lifetime. A good friend will never wish his friend to be dependent on someone. Do not interfere (妨碍)：The most important point that one should take care of is that your friend has his own life and you should not interfere in his life. You have a right to tell your friend what is good and what is bad, but you do not have a right to make someone do what you wish.Hope this will help you solve out some of your problems you are facing in friendship.Advice on 46 Key pointsKnow your 47 as a friendDetailed approaches (途径)Be a secret admirer of your friendIf you praise your friend when he is around, it surely will be 48 to him.Pull your friend away from making 49 When finding your friend is doing something wrong, youd better let him know it earlier but not in front of 50 .Try to understand your friendWhen your friend has something to 51 about or has problems, le
