1. Focus on what you can give to a friend, not what you can get out of a friendship. Give to your friends regardless of how much they give to you.

2. Encourage your friend. Real friends inspire and push each other to be the best that they can be, rather than drag each other down.

3. Be willing to forgive. Don’t let hurt turn to grudge. Forgive your friend and move on.

4. Tactfully point out their mistakes. If you really care for your friend, you will tactfully point out a specific example for his/her own good.

5. Be reliable. When you say you are going to be there, be there.

6. Don’t try to control your friends.  Real friendship does not mean you always have to be together.

7. Be there for the good and the bad times.  Most of the time, what friends really need is a sympathetic ear, someone who understands their feelings.

8. Learn to accept personality differences in your friends. Be careful not to evaluate other people by how you react in a particular situation.

9. Don’t be a blabbermouth. Learn and be willing to keep each other’s secrets.

10. Don’t let arguments destroy your friendship. Your desire to win the argument may ruin your friendship.
