What are important characteristics you look for in friends?

　　Well, the first one is honesty. Only if a person is honest he/she can be trusted. I praise highly for honesty because if your friend is honest, he/she would treat you sincerely and would never betray you no matter what condition you are in.Another important characteristic is helpfulness. You know, what are friends for? Help and support, right? And we could enhance our friendship by helping each other.Also, I’d like my friends to be very tolerant. You know anyone can make mistakes. If your friend is not tolerant how can you expect your friendship to last long?
