10. You don’t feel like you always have to reciprocate
你覺得自己不用總想著回報
A good friendship doesn’t come with a balance sheet. While you should always try to give as good as you get from your friends, that doesn’t mean you or they should feel obligated every single time. The point of a friendship is to be there as much as you can, when you can, to the fullest extent you can. Sometimes that means Jim picks up the beer, while you bring the pretzels. Sometimes Josh throws the party and you pitch in with the cleanup. Sooner or later in a good friendship, the books will balance naturally and intuitively, without either side having to do anything except be themselves.
好的友誼并不需要資產負債表。雖然說朋友對你怎么好，你就應該對他們怎么好，但這也不是說你或他們每次都要那樣做。友誼的一大要點就是當可以的時候，盡可能地地付出。有時意味著吉姆拿啤酒，而你帶來椒鹽脆餅。有時喬希開派對，而你負責打掃。在好的友誼中，這遲早會自然地達到平衡，除了做好自己，不需要做任何事情。
