We're Good at the Things We LikeWritten by Angie Dixon
Read that again. It doesn’t say “We like things we’re good at,” though that’s true as well. No, it says we’re good at things we like. That statement was made to me just today in reference to something I hate to do and am not very good at. I just nodded, thinking I’d heard it other way around, or that my sister had said it backwards. Then she repeated it and said, “It works other way around, too, but we’re good at things we like.”It’s true. If we like something we’re willing to put time into it to learn how to do it, for starters. Such is true with my “hate to do,” search engine optimization. Books on SEO make my eyes glaze over. Listening to someone talk about how to do it makes my ears glaze over. I hate it. It’s not interesting to me, and I’m not good at it. On other hand, I’m great at making web sites. I used to do it for a living and still design my own sites most of time when I’m developing a site for a business or my personal use. The first time I picked up a book on web design, nearly a decade ago now, I knew this was something I could do. I LIKED it. And I’m good at it.

How should friends be friends? Who are my ‘real’ friends? Who are my best friends?Friendship is about sharing. Friends share their lives with each other, sadness or happiness alike. Friends share their experiences of their lives, bad or good alike. Friendship is about altruism. Take care of your friends as they would take care of you. Friendship is about forgiving. Accept each other’s negative aspects and mistakes because everyone has them.
