Friendship Development

No one can be alone in life. We need others to support us mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Relationships, and in particular friendships, can sustain us throughout our lives.

Ascoltare è un'arte. Un'arte che, se sai ben padroneggiarla, ti apre le porte del successo. Forse non pensiamo mai all'ascolto in questi termini.
