Dear Eric:

Linda and I have been best friends since we were six years old. We often study and play together. It’s great! But she often gets unhappy when I get better grades than her—she really gets jealous. Should I keep taking her as my friend?

Yours,

Alice

Hi Alice,

I think friendship is important in our lives. You should talk to your friend. Tell her it’s common that sometimes you get a better grade and sometimes she does better. Tell her you’re going to compete(比赛) with her and try to beat her in every test. Maybe you can tell her that if she beats you, you’ll buy her some chocolate or something like that. If you can make your schoolwork into a game, you’ll both win in the long run (从长远看), and you will both start to get better grades in your subjects. If it’s a game, you’ll both enjoy school a lot more, and you’ll still be best friends.

Your,

Eric

In your life, there are a lot of people around you. They are your relatives, neighbors, friends or classmates. Sometimes you get along well with them, but sometimes don’t. What can you do when someone hurts you? Most people may be angry or even fight with him. But it’s not a good idea. You’d better forget all this and forgive (原谅) him.

Maybe it’s not easy for you to do that, but it’s possible. Please remember: Keep a good mood, and you will keep healthy. Staying angry with others, in fact, means letting others’ mistakes treat yourself unfairly.

How can you forgive others?

First, think of something pleasant and try to get yourself happy.

Second, don’t wait others to say sorry to you. If anyone hurts you, he won’t say sorry to you. He may just want to hurt you or just don’t see things the same way.

Third, try to see things in others’ shoes. You can understand their minds better and make yourself a little happier.

At last, try to know yourself very well. Whose mistakes caused that, yours or others? If it’s our fault, try to say sorry to them. If it isn’t, smile at the thing.
