At a gathering,we were all telling stories of our most embarrassing moments.It came around to Frank.
Frank began to tell us of his childhood."I in San Pedro.My Dad was a fisherman,and he loved the sea.He had his own boat,but it was making a living on the sea.He worked hard and would stay out until he caught enough to the family."
He looked at us and said,"I you could have met my Dad.He was a big man,and he was strong from pulling the nets and fighting the seas for the .When you got close to him,he like the ocean.He would wear his old coat and his overalls.No matter how much my mother them,they would still smell of the sea and of fish."
Frank's voice dropped a bit."When the weather was bad he would me to school.He had this old truck that was older than he was he would drive toward the school,I would shrink down into the seat hoping to disappear.He would right in front of the school gate,and it seemed like everybody be standing around and watching.Then he would .over and give me a big kiss on the cheek and tell me to be a good boy.It was so .for me.I was twelve years old,and my Dad would lean over and kiss me goodbye!"
He and then went on,"I remember the day when I said 'No' ”
It was the first time I had ever talked to him that ,and he had this surprised look on his face.
I said,'Dad,I'm too for a goodbye kiss.'
My Dad looked at me for the longest time,and his eyes started to tear up.I had never seen him .He turned and looked out the windshield(挡风玻璃).'You're right,' he said.'You are a big boy.a man.I won't kiss you anymore.'”
Frank got a sad look on his face,and the tears began to in his eyes,as he spoke."It wasn't long after that when my Dad went to sea and never came back.”
Tears were running down Frank’s cheeks.He spoke again."Guys,you don't know what I would .to have my Dad give me just one more kiss on the cheek. to feel his rough old face to smell the ocean on him. to feel his arm around my neck.
I wish I had been a man then.If I had been a ,I would never have told my Dad I was too old for a goodbye kiss."

Friends in your life are like pillars on your porch.Sometimes they hold you up and sometimes they lean on you.Sometimes it's just enough to know they're standing by.Friendship doubles your joy and divides your grief.A friendship is priceless and should be cultivated.
●Remembering the golden rule
Without a doubt, the greatest human relations principle is to treat other people like you want to be treated. When you show respect for your friends and gratitude for their friendship, you'll be blessed in untold ways.
You can't know what has gone on in the rude person's life that day, but you can assume that his or her day hasn't gone well.Maybe a loved one lost his job, her boss reprimanded her unjustly, he's coming down with the flu, or she just found out that her teenager is taking drugs.
Whatever the cause of the rudeness, you don't have to accentuate(突出) the problem.A kind word or a gentle, understanding smile may help the person more than returned rudeness would.
● Considering foes as friends
A friend looks after your own good. On the other hand, a foe is someone who isn't interested in your well-being.
Yet some students view their teachers as enemies.However, a student's success in school partly depends on the teacher's effectiveness in the classroom.Instead of being an enemy, a teacher who corrects you and helps you to achieve can be the best friend you ever had.
This kind of thinking, along with a little attitude adjustment, helps you to convert foes to friends, and both of you are better off.
● Making friends by being an optimist
Do you enjoy being around a pessimist, someone who is generally described as being able to brighten up a room just by leaving it? The answer is obvious.Most people prefer to be around people who believe that tomorrow is going to be better than today, rather than people who believe that today is even worse than yesterday.
● Capturing the pleasing personality
How do you develop a pleasing personality? Here are some steps you can take:
Smile when you see someone.You don't have to give a wide grin — just a pleasant, friendly smile.
Speak in a pleasant, upbeat tone of voice.Talk to people as if they are good friends, even if they don't really fall into that category yet.
Take a course in public speaking.The ability to express yourself attracts favorable attention from many sources.
Develop a sense of humor.Pick up a couple of joke books.This makes you a little more outgoing and friendly.
● Don't criticize unjustly
Instead of being eager to dish out criticism all the time, take the humane and sensible approach.Look for the good in others.Encourage them.Build them up.
Most people seldom think through each situation completely and consider the other person's point of view.If you take the time and effort to do this, you'll end up befriending more people.
