Sometimes, though, they can be difficult to say. 36 It’s not about winning. Friendship aren’t like the Super Bowl, and there should never be a winner and a loser. When you start fighting with a friend, it may feel important that you “win” the fight by proving（證明）you’re right and he is wrong, or by making him be the first to apologize（道歉） . 37 You may have heard the expression “His pride（驕傲） stood in the way.” It is usually used to describe a person who is so determined（意志堅(jiān)定） to be “right” that he lets an opportunity（機(jī)會(huì)） for happiness pass him by forever. 38 Remember: as time goes on, we usually fet who was right and who was wrong in
