  A man and his wife wanted to move to a new house. They searched for a long time and finally found an advertisement for a nice one. They looked at the house together and almost decided to buy it, but they wanted to learn more about the neighborhood first. Would the neighbors be nice or not? An old man was walking in front of the house, so they went to him to get some information.

  “Sir,” said the husband, “my wife and I are looking at this house. It seems excellent and we may buy it. But first, before our final decision, could you please give us some information about the neighborhood? What are the people around here like? We want to avoid trouble if we can.”

  The old man looked at the couple, and then replied with a question. “What type of people live near you in your present home?”

  “They're terrible,” the husband replied. “They're always causing arguments (争论) and making trouble. We decided to move mainly to avoid them.”

  “Well, don't move here”, warned the old man, “You'll find the same type of people here.”

  The couple thanked the old man for his warning and drove off to continue their search (寻找). Just then a second couple drove up.

  “Sir,” the second husband said, “could you please give us some information about the neighbors here? We may want to buy this house.”

  “How are the neighbors around your present home?”

  “They're excellent,” was the husband's reply. “Everybody is helpful, friendly and cheerful. We never have any trouble. It will be terrible to have to move away from them.”

  “They're cheerful, eh?” said the old man. “Well, you'll find the same type of people here.”

Do you need to‘edit your friends’?

  Is your mobile phone directory full of phone numbers of people you don’t really want to talk to? Do you go out with people from work or school more often than with your real friends? Do you say yes to invitations because you think you should, not because you want to? If you answered yes to at least two of these questions, then perhaps you need to ‘edit your friends’?

  Nowadays people like to spend a lot of time with people at work or classmates at school.The result is that we don’t have enough time to see our real, close friends.As our lives get busier it becomes more important to spend the little free time we have with people we really want to see, people we love and who really love us.

  Who are the friends you need to edit? A few years ago I read a book about how to get rid of unnecessary possessions(物品).It said you should ask yourself about each thing you have:Is it useful? Do I really like it? Do I feel better every time I look at it? If the answer is no to any one of those questions, you should throw it away.Maybe we should ask similar questions about our friends.

  What kind of friends will you probably need to edit? Sometimes it’s an old friend.Somebody who you used to have a lot in common with, but who, when you meet now, you have very little or nothing to say to.Or it might be a new friend who you get on quite well with, but who is taking up too much of your time.Next time one of these people calls you and suggests a meeting, think, ‘Do I really want to see this person?’ and if the answer is no, say no, and make an excuse.That way you’ll have more time to spend with your real friends.
