“You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you” Dale Carnegie

When it comes to making friends, we have a lot to learn from dogs. Why do we call them “man’s best friend?” Because day after day when we return home, they couldn’t be more excited to see us. A dog makes his living by giving nothing but love. The same concept applies to humans: We like people who show interest in us, who admire us. And so, to make people like us, we must show genuine interest in them.At the same time, if we spend all our time trying to impress people and get them to be interested in us, we’ll never have many true, sincere friends.But if, instead, we go out of our way to do things for others — things that require time, energy, and unselfishness — if we greet people with sincere enthusiasm to show them that we are excited to be there with them or talk to them — we will find much more success in cultivating friendships.

I have a friend. His name is Zholdas. We know each other for about 6 years(!). Two weeks ago he had a birthday. So we decided to make him a surprise party. We invited all his friends( believe me he has a loooot of them, they stood in a line in order to hug him) and did a surprise. He said that he didn’t expect such kind of congratulations.
