1. Develop friendship in which you demand nothing in return
2. Nurture an authentic interest in others
3. Always take time - often a long time - to understand one another
4. Commit yourself to learning how to listen
5. Simply be there to care, whether you know exactly what to do or not
6. Always treat others as equals
7. Be generous with legitimate praise and encouragement
8. Make your friends Number One, preferring them above yourself
9. Emphasize the strengths and virtues of others, not their sins and weaknesses
(Dr. Ted Engstrom)
