Shall We Fight? # 4 of 13 Ways to Test a Friendship
4. Success
Problem You get engaged to a honey-colored diving instructor, lose five pounds, and are offered a job as Liam Neeson't personal masseuse in Paris. Suddenly two very close girlfriends are "busy or away from their desk" when you call. It hurts you not to be able to revel in your good news; it hurts them to even think about it.
Solutions Share your great news but with sensitivity, and don't let it overshadow the events in the lives of your friends. If you inspire the odd prickle of jealousy, perhaps you're boasting unduly (good fortune can make us momentarily oblivious). True friends stick by you on the ascent as well as the descent in life. They keep you real.
