Welcome to the unit
The story of friendship is not the outstretched hand,nor the kindly smile ,nor the joy of companionship;it is the spiritual in inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone else believes in him and is willing to trust him.
友谊的故事不是伸出的手,不是善意的比喻,也不是友谊的快乐;它是当一个人发现别人信任他,愿意信任他时,他内心的鼓舞。
----Ralph Waldo Emerson
