* Understand that friendship, like marriages and work relationships, need both compromise and tolerance.
* Know that friendship has its ups and its downs - it's only natural. Try to smile though the good times and learn to grit your teeth through the bad.
* Be open, be honest.
* Don't be afraid to own up to "base" feelings - like envy, annoyance or disappointment. Just make sure you pick the right time or place.
* Some things really are better left unsaid. Never criticize, condemn or make jibes in haste. Remember - words hurt.
* Feel free to point out her "faults", but only if you truly believe that those faults are holding her back.
* Celebrate her triumphs and commiserate her losses with her. Show her that you are proud of her
