How do I make friends? You can't make a friend until you learn how to serve, because friendship is fundamentally service. Friendship is an act of service, and if you don't know the skill of service, then you probably don't know how to be a friend, let alone make a friend. I think you have to learn to be a friend before you can make a friend. People only want to be your friend if you know how to be their friend, which is not like having fun, which is not like going out and get pissed with your mates. That's fun. Those are mates. Are those friends that you love? Maybe, sometimes. Sometimes there's overlap. That's the other problem, and I live in America, where you meet somebody once and they call you friend, and the problem is I think we overuse the word friend. If you have a mild melanoma and you have stage four liver cancer, we call both those things cancer. Clearly, they're not the same thing, and I think we have the same problem with the word friend. Somebody you hang out with casually, it's a laugh. We call that person friend, but then somebody who we have deep love for and we would be there for them no matter what, we call that person friend. Best friend doesn't seem to capture it either, and so I think we need more words. I've started using the word acquaintance. I've started using the word work friend or deal friend. That's in finance, right? I like them. I get along with them, but if our companies weren't working together, would I hang out with them as much? Probably not. I probably would make less of an effort.
