朋友是如此的與眾不同

Friends teach us some of life’s most important lessons. They teach us about love. They search with us for life’s meaning. They think out loud with us and give us their approval and judgment. They help us to have faith. By their example. They teach us about truth and honesty. About living. About confidence and favors. They sense when we’re lonely and need acceptance.

Friends make us feel at home. We know where we stand with them and where they stand with us. They let us be ourselves and love us even when we are not the most lovable.

Friends don’t abandon us when the going gets tough. They are there with us wherever we are， whenever we need them. They have time for us. They don’t forget us， and we don’t forget them. They give us the opportunity to find out more about ourselves， so we’ll know what to try to change and what to accept. Friends validate us.

Friends are not afraid to take a chance on us， to defend us， to take a stand for us. They are not embarrassed to tell us how much our friendship means to them； they do not care how silly they may sound when they share these feelings with us.

Friends are like special gifts to us that we never discard or outgrow. No one can ever take their place. They are always welcome in the rooms of our heart. Theirs are the memories that never fade.

Friends are specia…so very， very special. Thank you for being a special friend to me.

朋友給我們一些生活中的教訓(xùn)。朋友讓我們懂得了愛情。朋友與我們一起探索人生的真諦。朋友同我們一道深思熟慮，告訴我們他們認(rèn)同什么，對事物作出什么判斷。他們幫助我們樹立信心。用他們的言行，為我們示范什么是真，什么是誠，什么是生活，什么是信心，什么是恩惠。他們知道我們什么時候感到寂寞，需要陪伴。

朋友，讓我們?nèi)玢宕猴L(fēng)，感受到家庭的溫馨。我們知道在哪些方面我們和他們立場一致，在哪些方面他們跟我們立場一致。他們不干涉我們，在我們最不可愛的時候還愛我們。

當(dāng)我們?nèi)兆硬缓脮r，朋友不會棄我們而去。不論我們身在何處，不論我們何時需要他們援手，他們總會出現(xiàn)在我們的身旁。他們留出時間為我們服務(wù)。他們與我們，任誰也無法將彼此遺忘。朋友為我們提供機(jī)會去更多地認(rèn)識自我，我們于是懂得，什么需要努力接受；什么需要盡力改變。朋友幫助我們實現(xiàn)自我。

朋友不害怕為我們冒風(fēng)險，不害怕維護(hù)我們，不害怕為了我們而表明立場。面對面地告訴我們，這份友誼對他們來說是多么的重要，他們不會感到尷尬；他們不會在乎自己是否看上去有點傻里傻氣，只是因為他們對我們說出了心里話。

朋友就像一份上蒼賜予我們的特殊禮物，我們永遠(yuǎn)不拋棄，年紀(jì)再大也不拋棄。朋友的地位，始終無人能夠代替。我們的心中，始終為朋友保留著一方空間；一扇門，永遠(yuǎn)為他們敞開。朋友是份永不褪色的記憶。

朋友是特殊的……如此，如此與眾不同。感謝你，做我的——與眾不同的——朋友。
