Lastly, you are not a friend if you don't give a hand to your friends when they need help. You should always be helpful to them, no matter what it costs, because when you need help, they will be there for you, too. It feels good if people want to be your friends because of your character (个性). So if you want to attract people, you should learn to develop these traits. 56.
