Friends - how do you choose them

In life you have to choose your friends cause not everybody will like you or vice versa. So to have good friends who will guide you in the right direction. Other people will surely cause you problem.

I am selective in choosing friends, and although I know a lot of people, those I calll friends are all special. We have something in common, but the main ingredient is that we trust and respect each other plus we are honest in our feelings and views. A friend is someone to be treasured and therefore I do not give my friendship lightly. :)
