If you feel at present that you don’t have enough friends in your life, one reason may be that you have let yourself become too busy to make time for the relationships you already have．Starting and keeping friendship requires effort and commitment．

　　Many of us let our lives become so busy with work and other commitments that we don’t get around to scheduling time for pleasure and renewal(敘舊)with the friends, relatives and acquaintances we already have．

　　Making the effort to call your friends more regularly and to accept more of the invitations you receive from others can improve your social life in a hurry!

　　Are there any people you could call right now and be assured of a pleasant welcome?Are there people that you could count on to help you in time of difficulty?Can you have close talks with them?Do you have fun when you are together?Are you happy to have them in your life?

　　If you haven’t seen much of them lately, is it because you have become too busy?Have you grown apart?Was there an argument?

　　If the main reason you haven’t been getting together with the people you already know is that you have gotten too busy, take a good look at how you spend your time．Compare it with your real values and priorities(優(yōu)先考慮的事)in life．Is your busy lifestyle really bringing you the quality of life that you want?

　　If you have become too busy for friends, why has this happened?Are you seeking material toys in your life at the expense of relationships with other human beings?Have you allowed your time to be over committed because you never say “No” to anyone?Do you insist on doing things yourself that could be delegated to others?If so, why?Do you believe that everything depends on you?

　　Examine whether the way you are now spending your time accurately reflects your deepest values and priorities．Make sure that you schedule enough time for the things that are truly most important to you．

　　If you really want to keep friends in your lire, make a space in your schedule, and a space in your heart for them．

　　I was tired and hungry after a long day of work．When I walked into the living room, my 12-year-old son looked 　　1　　 at me and said, “I love you．” I didn’t know what to say．　　2　　 several seconds all I could do was to stand there and 　　3　　 down at him．My first thought was that he must need 　　4　　 with his homework or he was trying to 　　5　　 me for some news．Finally I asked, “What was that all about?”

　　“Nothing．” He said, “My teacher said we should 　　6　　 our parents that we love them and see what they say．It’s a(n)　　7　　．”

　　The next day I called his teacher to 　　8　　 more about this “experiment” and how the other parents had 　　9　　．

　　“Basically, most of the fathers had the 　　10　　 reaction as you did．” The teacher said, “When I first 　　11　　 we try this, I asked the children what they thought their parents would say．Some of them thought their parents would have heart trouble．” “The 　　12　　 is,” the teacher explained, “feeling loved is an important part of 　　13　　．It’s something all human beings 　　14　　．What I’m trying to tell the children is that it’s too 　　15　　 that we don’t all express those feelings．A boy should be 　　16　　 to tell his dad that he loves him．”

　　The teacher, a middle-aged man, understands how 　　17　　 it is for some of us to say the things that would be good for us to say．

　　When my son came to me that evening, I held on to him for 　　18　　 second．And just 　　19　　 he pulled away, I said in my deepest, most manly voice, “Hey, I love you, too．”

　　I don’t know if saying that made either of us healthier, but it did feel pretty good．Maybe next time if my child says “I love you”, it would not take me a whole day to think o f the right 　　20　　．
