Do you have a good friend and how good is that your friend? Have you tried the capability and the ability before tagging him or her in your heart as a good friend? Well, I am here to share with you on a few tips that can help you identify or determine if you truly have a good friend for life. Well, to the best of my knowledge, that person does not necessarily have to meet all these criteria because I believe within yourself, you may have your own conditions which are acceptable to you in order to identify a good friend. In spite of these, the points I have highlighted in this article can also do you a favor in your search as you scan through your friends to identify the one who is deemed to be a true friend. There is a saying that “Show me your friend and I will show you your character”.
This phrase is heavily used in the African continent such as Ghana. In Africa, we loved to promote respect and uphold the dignity of adults. But share with me on the phrase I have put across. Do you think it is appropriate to use a friend’s friend character to judge a friend? Wow, I like the rhyme here. I see it to be weird though but could be true. Why am I saying it could be possible to know a friend’s character from a friend? I think the answer is basically simple, we happen to be with our partner more in terms of going out to have fun, eating, visiting and all have you. So if your partner does bad things or say, he or she is a recalcitrant, then I can as well tag you with his or her character and yes it will make sense. Birds of the same feathers flock together, don’t forget. So let me do this little thing before I continue with today’s topic. I have treated “5 things you should expect from your partner before marriage” and I would like to share a few points with you. It is ok to skip this part and focus on the subject for today. In a nutshell, one thing you should look out for is respect. There should be massive respect filling any gap in the relationship. Do not demand respect because it is supposed to flow naturally without reagent. Examine yourself and advise yourself if you think there is no or little respect in your relationship. Furthermore,
I also highlighted
on involvement. Your partner or the one you are in a relationship with is your
unforeseen marriage material. It is therefore very necessary to engage your
partner in all aspects in order to know and associate yourself with his or her weakness.
If you refuse, then you are likely to face unnecessary challenges. Finally, you
have to expect a little quarrel from your partner and know how to negotiate
when it happens. I have more for you at talksbase.com. click on this link for

Now, let’s head on to
today’s topic. You need to pay much
attention to the tips given below for your solution.
Available at the right time
Every good friend is available
at the most crucial times. Where others will say no and ignore you, that who is
a good friend will show up and help you with whatever you do. The availability
referred here is not necessarily being present but the little you can do for
your partner to let him or her have the sense of feeling of your presence.
More caring
There is no doubt that
every good friend is caring although it’s not always. Some can be very stubborn
neglecting your wishes but remain good. However, a good friend would love to be
with you and care for you by any means possible.
Understandable
I said earlier that birds
of the same further flock together. You will attest to the fact that we all
need someone who really understands us. This is because we are able to liaison
with such a person, and share our feelings and emotions without fear and panic
unlike someone who rarely complies with our “nonsense”.
Easily remembers you
Some bad friends do
remember. This is a common issue in Africa and I can relate. Hahaha funny
right? Hmm, a friend you’ve hustled with for years can be blessed to have a
breakthrough in the course of life and will choose not to remember you again.
It is hard to judge if there is an intentional mindset set to it but we leave
it to God. Well, such a person could be a bad friend.
Acknowledges your presence
Finally, every good
friend will acknowledge your presence. He or she treats you as if you are part
of his or her family. He or she regards you in anyways and that’s superb. Well,
how would you feel if there is a roar or a cheer as you visit your friend?
These are a few tips to
help you identify a good friend. Try as much as possible to spot them because
they can bring good fortune to you. Thank you for reading and see you in the
next article.
