What types of friends do we need in our life？

生活中需要的朋友

A Wise Mentor

睿智的導(dǎo)師

Jesse Jackson once said, "Never look down on someone unless you're helping them up."If you have someone smart, inspiring,and admirable in your life who practices this philosophy, you're extremely lucky. We all need a friend who inspires us to be better people without making us feel inadequate. Plus, being around such aperson will challenge us to better ourselves every day.

杰西-杰克遜曾經(jīng)說(shuō)過(guò)，“永遠(yuǎn)不要瞧不起別人，除非你在幫助他們。” 如果你的生活中有聰明靈巧、鼓舞人心、令人欽佩的人正在實(shí)踐這一理念，那你就相當(dāng)幸運(yùn)了。我們都需要朋友鼓舞我們來(lái)讓我們變得更好，而不是讓我們感到不足。另外，和這樣的人待在一起，每天都會(huì)讓我們變得更加出色。

The wise mentor in your life doesn't have to be someone who shares the same occupation or hobbies withyou. It's simply someone who's a few steps ahead of you in life and has enough wisdom and patience to guideyou in the right direction. It can be anyone —a colleague, a friend who’s beyond their years, or an older neighbor —as long as you look up to this personand want to be more like them.

生活中的睿智導(dǎo)師并不一定要和你有著相同的職業(yè)或習(xí)慣。只要他/她在生活中比你領(lǐng)先了幾步，并擁有足夠的智慧和耐心引導(dǎo)你朝著正確的方向前進(jìn)，就可以是你的導(dǎo)師。導(dǎo)師可以是任何人——同事、比自己大好多年的朋友、或是老鄰居——只要你朝這個(gè)人看齊，并更想像他們一樣。
