When asked to point out one or two things that are most important to themselves, many put friends ahead of homes, jobs, clothes and cars.
A true friendship carries a long history of experience that determines who we are and keeps us connected. It is a treasure we should prove it. Unfortunately, the better friends you are, the more probably you’ll have disagreements. And the result can be what you don’t want an end to the relationship.
The good news is that most troubled friendships can be mended. First, don’t let your pride get in your way. Most of us can forgive each other when differences are brought out in the open. Second, apologize when you’re wrong ― even if you’ve been wronged. Over the course of friendship, even the best people make mistakes. Sometimes, it may be best if the wronged person takes wrong. Third, see things from your friend’s point of view. And finally, accept that friendships changes as our needs and lifestyles change. Making friends can sometimes seem easy. The hard part is keeping the connections strong during the nature ups and downs that have an effect on all relationships. My suggestion: Consider friendship an honor and a gift, and worth the effort to treasure and nurture(培养).

They are out there. They may be your friends, your teachers or your parents. Anyone can be a difficult person to someone else.
It is important to see if you are with a difficult person. The first solution(解决方法) to any problem is that you realize the problem. Most of the time, difficult people do not realize(意识到) they are difficult. They think what they do is just normal. But do you know how to cope with(应付) difficult people?
The best way is not to care what they said.
If this does not help, think about the following:
◆Difficult people are easy to be very angry, and you just happen to be at the wrong place at the wrong time.
◆Difficult people do not even hear the words you say, but are only guessing the meaning of your words according to their own thought.
So when you really look at it deeply, it is not wise(明智的) to take things personally.

The teacher stood before his class of 30 students and was going to hand out the final exam papers.“I know how hard you have all worked to get ready for this test.” he said.“And because I know you are all able to understand these questions.I am ready to offer a B to anyone who would prefer not to take the test.’’
A number of students jumped up to thank the teacher and left the classroom.The teacher looked at the rest students and said.“Does anyone else want to get a B? This is your last chance.”Two more students decided to go.Seven students stayed.The teacher then handed out the papers.There were only three sentences on the paper: Congratulations! You have received an A in this class.Keep believing in yourself.
I never had a teacher who gave a test like that.but I think that it is a test that any teacher could and should give.Students who do not have confidence in what they have learned are B students at most.
The same is true for students in real life.The A students are those who believe in what they are doing because they have learned from both successes and failures.They have learned life’ s lessons, whether from school education or from events in their lives,and have become better people.Scientists say that by the age of eight,80% of what we believe about ourselves has already been formed.You are a big kid now and you realize that you have some limits(局限).However,there is nothing you can’t do or leant to be.Sir Edmund Hillary, the first person to reach the top of Mount Qomolangma (珠穆朗玛峰)said,“We do not conquer the mountain.but ourselves.”
