Take-aways
1. Trying to make friends in my adult life is way more enjoyable than making friends elementary or junior high.
2. Choosing to be friendly and meet new people has positive effects in so many ways.
3. Dale Carnegie was really right on about human nature (see How to Win Friends and Influence People)
