HOW TO BECOME AN IDEAL FRIEND

Its not easy becoming a friend or making one because a friend is not a state of mind. Its real and its in your face. A friend is someone who makes your life worth its while a little more than yesterday. While everybody has their own definitions of a "friend", the long and short of it is we all need friends to make our lives better. We at TheHolidaySpot value our friendship as much as you do and would like to share our ideas of how to become an ideal friend with you, for if wasn't for you we wouldn't be where we are today.


HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY...

In friendship "honesty" is the key word. One should always be honest to his or her friends.
Don't overlook their faults, even if you have none for you are his friend!
Praise them honestly and openly.
Say you're sorry, when you hurt your friend. Don't let them assume it.*


GIVE MORE THAN YOU TAKE...

Be there when they need you or you may wind up alone.
Love them unconditionally, that is the only condition. Make them feel special, because aren't we all special?*
Never forget them, who wants to feel forgotten.*


BE SUPPORTIVE...*

Cheer them on, we all need encouragement now and then.*
Encourage their dreams and aspiration, Life seems almost meaningless without them.
Your words count, use them wisely.
Use good judgement.
Wish them luck, hopefully good*
Eamine your motives before you "help" out
Just be there when they need you
Really listen, a friendly ear is a soothing balm*


FORGIVENESS...

Forgive them for, "To Err is Human", and you just may end up making the same mistakes in course of time..*


KEEP THE FAITH...

Have faith in them. For, there is no love without trust.
Zip your lips when they confide in you*


EXPRESS YOURSELF CLEARLY

Know when they need a hug, and couldn't you use one?*
Offer to help, and know when " No thanks" is just politeness*
Quietly disagree, noisy No's make enemies*
Verbalsise your feelings*


HAVE FUN...

Get together often, misery loves company, so does glee.
Talk frequently, communication is important.*

Enjoying your friendship is the order of the day. So its not what we call a friendship if you don't feel right.
Always remember a friendship is worth it when you are able to enjoy the amazing relationship with no holds barred. Its a mutual bond for life that you cant give up.

I dont think anyone can become an Ideal friend.
Becuase its like one faulty instrument trying to fix another faulty instrument.
Until people are absolutely perfect or able to understand their moods and behaviour ,they would never be able to find someone who doesnt irritate them or judge them or anything.

Because if a person is an Ideal friend then he would need to help the friend out by being supportive , critical etc .

But then people dont like criticism even though its being done in a good way and you would end up getting irritated by your 'good' friend . And if your friend were to stand by and watch you do bad things to yourself then he wouldnt be a 'good ' friend either.

So ultimately the day you become an ideal friend and give friendship unconditionaly , will be the day you find your ideal friend.

Friendship consists of a willing ear, an understanding heart and a helping hand!!

Well, I agree with you! That being an ideal is all about being perfectness, not us, cos perfectness only belongs to God. I guess the right point is that we should be willing to accept each other's capacity and to understand each uniqueness and that's what all real friendship all about!

Thanks for your reply.... :D
