23、lities which are admired and which attract. If you are mean, stingy and selfish, nobody will admire you. You must cultivate generosity and large-heartedness;you must be magnanimous and tolerant; you must have positive qualities, for a negative, shrinking, apologizing, roundabout man is despised. You

25、没有互惠就不能算是友谊。 一个人不可能只是接受而 不 付出，或是只付出不回收，却期望能够享有真挚友谊的欢欣和满足。 想交朋友必须培养受人赞赏和吸引人的特质。 如果你小气、 吝啬又自私， 没 有 人会欣赏你。你必须培养慷慨和宽宏大量的气度；你必须有雅量并对人容忍； 你必须 要有积极地特质， 因为消极、 畏缩、爱赔不是和迂回不前的人总是让人瞧 不起。你 必须信任你自己，否则就不会获得别人的信任。你必须要向前看，充满 希望，愉快且 乐观。没有人会理会一个忧郁的悲观者。 capital k?pit ?l n. 资金，首都，省会； credit kredit n. 信用，信誉；贷款 reciprocit
