No fight can end, and no friendship can move on, until everyone says these little words: I’m sorry. Sometimes, though, they can be difficult to say. 1.
It’s not about winning.
Friendship aren’t like the Super Bowl, and there should never be a winner and a loser. When you start fighting with a friend, it may feel important that you “win” the fight by proving（证明）you’re right and he is wrong, or by making him be the first to apologize（道歉）.
2.
You may have heard the expression “His pride（骄傲）stood in the way.” It is usually used to describe a person who is so determined（意志坚定）to be “right” that he lets an opportunity（机会）for happiness pass him by forever. 3. Remember: as time goes on, we usually forget who was right and who was wrong in a disagreement, and only remember the sadness of losing a friend. Take the first step.
Are you sick of fighting? Do you think this fight is just not important enough to ruin（毁灭）your friendship? 4. You don’t have to take full responsibility（责任）for starting the fight, or even say that your feelings were wrong. But you should find something you did or said that’s worth apologizing for. Maybe you’re sorry that you let the fight go for so long, of that you overreacted（反应过度）to something your friend did. If you say you are sorry, it’s like an invitation for your friend to do the same. 5.
A.Stop thinking about your pride.
B.Then try to be the first to apologize.
C.It’s about taking some responsibility for the argument.
D.Once you’ve both said it, you’ll both feel a million times better.
E.There are some special cases when you shouldn’t be the one to apologize first.
F.Here are some things to keep in mind.
G.Don’t let this happen to a friendship you care about.
My husband, my four-month-old daughter and I set out on a five-day driving journey from California to Washington. We had to stop frequently because our little child needed to stretch from the car seat.
One of our stops, once we crossed the Oregon border, was at a Black Bear Diner. Walking towards the front door we noticed a gentleman standing at one side. He was clearly untidy, without shoes and wearing worn clothing. We passed right by him and opened the restaurant door. Then something told me to go back.
Holding my daughter, I turned around and said to the gentleman, “Sir. Are you hungry?” He said, “Yes.” I then asked, “May we buy you something to eat?” He responded with, “Sure, I can order something myself.”
My husband opened the door and the gentleman went straight to the counter. I told him to order whatever he wanted. The manager of the restaurant came over quite quickly and looked frightened. I spoke before he had an opportunity to say anything. “This gentleman will have lunch with us today,” I said. “Please add his order to our bill.” The manager said with a frown(皱眉), “Okay.” We turned to our table and the gentleman said, loudly and quickly, “Thank You!” We were seated and upon completing our meal we were handed our bill. I asked my husband what the gentleman had ordered. One fresh orange juice, one coffee, one breakfast combination with a side of hash browns.
When we left the restaurant I looked for the gentleman but didn’t see him, but that very small act just made my day. I hope in some small way we were able to add some joy to his life, even if only for a few minutes.
