Girls are like apples...

Girls are like
apples on trees. The best
ones are at the top of the tree.
The boys don't want to reach for
the good ones because they are afraid
of falling and getting hurt. Instead, they
just get the rotten apples from the ground
that aren't as good, but easy. So the apples
at the top think something is wrong with
them, when in reality, they're amazing.
They just have to wait for the right
boy to come along, the one
who's brave enough
to climb
all the way
to the top
of the tree.

8 Ways to be a friend or see your friends.

There are countless ways to create a healthy relationship, but first you must learn to recognize the eight roles friends play in your life. Friends can act as:

• Builder (motivator)
• Champion (the one who sings your praises)
• Collaborator (has similar interests, passions)
• Companion (always there for you)
• Energizer (always gives you a boost, makes you laugh)
• Connector (introduces you to others, widens your circle)
• Mind Opener (expands your horizons, embraces new ideas)
• Navigator (helps you make decisions)

Seriously, I am not making that stuff up! The author Tom Rath can elaborate a lot better than I can, in her book Vital Friends: The People You Can't Afford to Live Without. Some friends can fall into more than one of these groups. Not to worry. Either way labels don't count in friendships. However, a very safe tip that I can give is this: Don't put your friends into roles they are not capable of fulfilling - just have lots of friends. This will make everyone a lot happier.

Cheers!
