From long times ago, our ancestors said that, if you make friend with bad person, you’ll be changed like your friend because you tend to imitate. Thus, we should be careful when we make friends. Among the choices of friends we have an intelligent friend and a friend good sense of humor. These maybe several characteristics to choose the right friend but I strongly believe an intelligent friend is better than humorous friend. I have two main arguments why I believe so.
First, a smart person always gives us pieces of advice if we’re in trouble. Whenever we have a hard time, we can solve problems by using those advices. Last year, I was in trouble with my parents because of my GPA. However, one of my bright friends gave me solutions which she read in a book. It says that giving gifts to my parents can recover our relationship. If taught me how to get out from matters easily. Thus, if we have intelligent friends, we can live our life more comfortably.
Second, intelligent friends make us wiser because we share the information to each other during our conversations. Recalling the sayings mentioned before, our behavior is influenced by the person who is close to us. Especially, the young people follow their friend’s characters. One of my younger brother’s friends read books every day. Whenever I saw him, I always got impressed because of his enthusiasm about knowledge. Therefore, now a day my brother also read books because he also wants to be like his friend. Through this, we can get more chances developing good habits because of such people.
All in all, I agree to the statement that a smart and bright friend is better than a funny one. As you can see, they can be helpful and of a good influence to us. |
