Best Friends Forever

The golden rules to the magical ship of friendship:

• Never be an ‘open book’. Just one peep and all your deepest thoughts are revealed. Sometimes, it is all right to be mysterious even with your close friends.
• Express your ideas and thoughts more clearly and define them properly. Else your friend may not understand what you meant.
• Keep your mindset stable (at the very least, try). Your impression about a friend can completely change in a split of second.
• Never use another person to speak for you. Your whole idea can get changed leading to the concept of misunderstanding.
• Exaggerate the best and reduce the negatives in your friend when you are talking to another person, about her. It makes you feel good for her.
• Keep secrets only if you are capable of keeping it sealed. One word out and your friendship may be ‘boom’.
• Help your friend and forget that you helped her. Because friendship is not a give-and-take policy.
• Believe your friend. Else you will end up hating her before you even know the truth about her.
• Find and appreciate the talents in your friend. Few years from now, she could be famous.
• Never ever discourage your friend in anything even if she is bad in it. It is she who should realize that, not you. But, do not say, ‘I told you so’.
• Never force anything out of your best friend. By doing it, she may end up hating you.
• Never grow extra-close to a person who is not likely your friend. She probably does not like you even though she is friendly.
• Always be jealous of the best thing in your friend’s character (in a safe way). This may get you a little closer to being an adult.
• Never worry what your friend thinks about you. As long as you are her friend, she is your friend.

Trust us, they work.
