Because people who share values and people who share interests already have two very powerful things in common to build a strong foundation for that relationship.

因為有共同價值觀和共同興趣的人已經有了這兩個有力的共同點，就能為這種關係奠定堅實的基礎。

The biggest problem that people have today is that time factor, and like any relationship a friendship takes time.

現今，我們面臨的最大問題是時間因素，任何關係都需要時間經營，友誼也是。

It takes time to develop trust, and that requires shared experiences.

需要時間經營建立信任，也需要相互分享經驗。

So people who want to make more friends need to make a commitment to create space in their life for friendships, to have time to speak with that person, to have time to meet with that person.

想要結交更多朋友的人，就要承諾能在生活中創造交朋友的空間，花時間和對方聊天、花時間和對方見面。

And to have time to share new experiences with that person to build a friendship.

花時間和對方分享新的經驗來建立友誼。

You know, today's friendships in many ways are maintained through social media, and so there's very quick updates and that personal interconnection is lacking.

現今的友誼在幾乎都是依靠社群媒體維持的，所以能更新很快，但卻缺乏人與人的相互聯繫。

In the real world, it's more about quality, not about quantity.

現實世界中，品質比數量更重要。

And in the social media world, you know, we look at our friendships based on the numbers of people that we have, you know, following us on Twitter or on our pages on Facebook.

在社群媒體世界裡，我們的友誼是基於我們在 Twitter 或 Facebook 上的追蹤人數。

So in the real world, friendship is about connection.

所以在現實世界中，友誼是關於連結性。

It's about trust.

是關於信任。

It's about respect.

是關於尊重。

It's about communication.

是關於溝通。

It's a little bit deeper than those updates that we keep all of our friends connected with as we go through our daily lives.

它比我們在日常生活中為了和朋友保持聯繫的更新資訊還要更深奧。

So to get out and away from the computer that's keeping you connected with your friends, pick something that interests you.

所以，選一些你感興趣的事情去做，讓自己不要再只依靠電腦和朋友們維持聯繫。

Go sign up for a cooking class, you know, go take an exercise class or work with a running coach, something that motivates you, something that, again, inspires you, something that makes you become the person you want to be.

去報名烹飪課程、去參加運動課程或與跑步教練一起工作，做一些能激勵、鼓舞你的事情，讓你成為自己想要成為的人。

And just by putting yourself in that environment, you're naturally going to connect with other people.

只要把自己置身於這樣的環境中，你自然就會與其他人產生連結。

And that is the best way to start a friendship.

這也是展開一段友誼的最好方式。
