                                                              Qualities of a Good Friend



Having a good friend that is always there for you is a very important requirement in life, especially if that friend has good qualities and traits. I think a friend like that would be loyal and always there for you in your time of need. They would also be helpful whenever you're in trouble and are seeking help. In addition, they would be motivating. Always encouraging of you to do the right thing or to work hard to succeed in life. Also, they would be kind to not only me, but to everyone else around them.

  To identify if you have a true friend or not ask yourself if you talk to them openly ,and if you're important to them that they actually take the time and listen to you and advise you on what to do best.
Evaluate how they communicate with you, see if they truly listen to you, decide if your friend is honest, access their actions, decide if you both have the same effort in your friendship, decide if they make you feel better about yourself.There are many other steps or things to look for in your friendship that will help you decide if he/she is true to you and your friendship.

In my opinion, it is exactly like a story with different perspectives. Listening to only one side of a story, is as useless as having just one pair of a shoe. For example. the roommate was only listening to what she was hearing from the people around her, and seeing on social media. These were all a si...

The Surprising Science of Happiness | Dan Gilbert

  "Turns out that freedom, the ability to make up and change your mind, is the friend of natural happiness"      Dan Gilbert talks about happiness as it comes with making choices. Making choices doesn't literally mean having to choose, but he explains it in a way that is interpreted by having to live on with something that was manipulated and chosen for you, or something that you were able to contemplate whether or not you want it. He later on speaks about an experiment that was done on Harvard photography students. Some of these students were given the choice to take home one of their photographs and not look back at the other one. Whereas the other half, were given a reversible option in which they had the option to go back and change which one they can go home with.      In my opinion, that actually does make sense. In a way, that is why some people are indecisive and find making any decision extremely hard since they always find a possibility of ha...
