Friends

Friday, February 5, 2010
What are friends? Friends to me are those who support me no matter under what circumstances, bad or good. They care for you when you are down and will always have a listening ear for you and a shoulder to cry on. They will always welcome your company and shows loyalty towards, often to the point of altruism. They will give you advice on what is best for you, share with you the sweetness of success and the bitterness of hardship they or you face. They would be honest with you when in situations where it may be difficult for others to speak the truth, especially in terms of pointing out the perceived faults which you did not see.

You will meet friends throughout your life, during your preschool years, your schooling years from primary to university and when you are working. Some of them will forget who you are after a few years while some of them will still remember vividly about you or have a vague idea who you are. Some people want to be your friends with a motive in mind, it could be because you are rich or have authority and they want to gain something from you or want to use you as a tool to get something better for themselves. Then, they would try to dump you off or pretend not to know you. While some people really want to be friends with you cause you make them happy when they are sad. These people do not have any motive and would help you when you are in trouble.

Friends you make in preschool would probably forget about you when all of you went to different primary schools. Friends in primary school would not bother to greet even if they know you when you all meet, except for some whom you are good friends with. However, friends in secondary school would be the friends that would help you when you met with troubles during the time when you work. They would probably company you through your junior college time and university too. These would be the time when you have alot of troubles in your life, about your relationship with your parents, your love affair, and other troubles. They would somehow be interlink with each other and come to you at the same time, this is the time when you would need a really good friend to help you, giving you advice on what is best for you. So it is best to make a good friend during your secondary school years. They would be more mature and you could tell them your troubles, instead of keeping it to yourself and by tellling them, you would feel better.

So I would end off this blog post by telling everyone to treasure your friendship with your good friends and make them last as long as possible for when your family is not there for you, you could always turn to your good friends. =)

Well said, Chongsin. Any relationship (yes friendship) requires efforts from both parties to maintain it and make it work. Hence sometimes, we just have to take that first step and do that bit more to maintain the friendship.

Yeah. I agree with you. Good friends are hard to come by. Once they do, we really have to cherish them as they will be the ones giving us our moral support and strength to move on, besides our parents. They are the biggest motivation in school who can help us in our different areas, be it physically or emotionally.
