▶ Your Answer :
There is an argument whether advice from
old friends is more important than from those in the same age. I agree that
advice from old friends are more valuable for two reasons. First, old friends
know me better than others. Second, it is easier to share problems with old
friends when I have difficulties.
To begin with, old friends can give
valuable advices because they know many things about you. These days, lots of
difficulties we faces is not possible to be solved by alone. Although friends
in the same age share many things including life styles, only old friends can
give you indispensable advices because they have known you a long time ago. To
be specific, back in college, I had a problem to decide the company that I
would work between a Mobile Game company and Samsung Electronics. Friends
around me told that the company which gives me more money is better. However,
my old friend, Su-Jin, recommended me to select the Mobile Game company because
she knew that I had been interested about making or creating new idea about
games from when I was a child. Today, I appreciate Su-Jin for her advice
because I really content my job perfectly. For this regards, advices from old
friends are more important.
Moreover, people can share their difficulties
with their old friends more easily. In general, this is very difficult to share
private issues between coworkers or new friends although they are in the same
age of you. Actually, we cannot share private issues with new friends when we
are grown as an adult. This is because responsibility of society is forced to
be kept as a member of society. Therefore, it is much more difficult to share
private problems for advices with new friends. However, old friends can help
you solve the private problems by giving you invaluable advices. Study
conducted by Harvard University shows that people more be frank about private
difficulties when they talk with old friends. And they even feel that their
problems are solved. This study also states that advice from old friends can be
more helpful especially about private issues.
To sum up, I believe that old friends can
help you to get more invaluable advices for the two reasons that I have
mentioned above. First, old friends give advices based on the knowledge they
observed a long time ago. Second, people usually share private issues with old
friends to get useful advices. |
