Friendship

The only rose without thorns in the world is friendship. A true friend is someone who reaches for your hand and touches your heart. Truly great friends are had to find, difficult to leave, and imp ossible to forget to forget. One friend in a lifetime is much, two are many, three are hardly possible. Fate chooses our relatives, we choose our friends is like life on a desert island. To find one real friend in a lifetime is good fortune; to keep him is a blessing.

Friendship between the sexes

So long as there is the distinction between men and women, the relation between them will be an everlasting topic. Can there be authentic friendship between the sexes? This is a question that arouses people’s interest and meanwhile confuses them. C.S.Lewis made four distinction of love.  They are affection, friendship, eros, and charity. Lewis notes that it is rare when these come alone, so in most cases we should expect a mixture of them. Afternoon can be seen as the type of love a mother. It can be more general. It can be the love for an old employee or for a faithful pet. Friendship can be seen when people share common interests. The common interests draw a boundary between “us” (the friends) and “them”(the rest). Eros is the love of a couple. Charity is the type of love which is given without interest. It could be seen as “pure” gift-love. There is no doubt that men and women can love each other, but can they become real friends?    :

Friendship among boys and girls

In college, it is common to see friendship among boys and girls. What is difficult is hoe to deal with personal contacts between different sexes. The key is to differentiate between love and friendship. Friendship may lead to love. But love does not certainly come from friendship. The following speech focuses on the differences between friends and lovers, which will throw light on this confusing issue in our life.
Difference between friends and lovers
Lovers often speak of their love for each often to one another. Lovers often express themselves physically and verbally face-to –face, absorbed in each other. Friends stand side-by-side, absorbed in some common interest, goal or philosophy. Friendship is born from “companion”, the discovery of common interest between acquaintances. Companionship / acquaintances are not necessarily friendships. Lovers seek for privacy. Friends pull form the herd in becoming friends but would appreciate a 3rd, 4th or 5th party on the same terms.


Making friends
If you want to develop a more pleasing personality and make friends, become genuinely in other and pay attention to the following aspects:
Smile
Smile, smile and continue to slime. It costs nothing, enriches those who receive it, happens in a flash but the memory lasts forever. It creates happiness in the home heart. If you want other people to like you make other people to like you, make the other person feel important and do it sincerely!
Arguments
Some people thrive on arguments. It gives them s sour disposition and creates a depressing atmosphere around them. The only way to get the best of an argument is to avoid it. If you are wrong, admit it quickly and apologize. If the other person continues in an argumentative manner, excuse yourself and walk away. Don’t bite…as the saying goes.
Doing the wrong thing!
Choose your friends carefully. If others try to persuade you to smoke, take illicit drugs, steal, gamble, fight etc, dare to say NO. doing the wrong thing the quickest way to lose friends—honest, good, and upright friends. Stay on the right track.  Deep down in your heart you know what is right and good. You know when to say “no” and you know when it’s time to walk away.
