Everyone needs friends. Friends bring us happiness and hope in our lives. But the ability to make friends changes from person to person. To some people, making friends is easy, and to others it’s very difficult.

Making friends is a skill, and the first thing is to know how to get along with others.

★Believe that you are a good person and have something nice to share with others.

★Be humorous. Learn to laugh at yourself and your weakness. Remember to smile to others.
