If you are fortunate you will have true friends in your life. I am blessed to have friends around the world. Relationships require effort and patience. If you invest the time you will receive amazing benefits from your friends. Not all friends will be willing to invest as much as you are, but some will and they will enrich your life. The more friends you have the more you understand the world we live in, for they give you perspective. To all this who consider me a friend, thank you for the confidence you have in me and the honor you have bestowed on me.
