It is better that we have an intelligent friend than we have friends who have a good sense of humor
Everyone has friends, and there are many kinds of friends. From this, some people argue that friends should be so intelligent that we can lend his or her brain and get an advice rather than humorous. However, I disagree with the given statement because a humorous friend can be more helpful than an intelligent friend in some ways.
First of all, friends who have a good sense of humor can make me comfortable. Due to the downturn of the nation economy, the competition to get a job has been severe than before. As a matter of fact, most seekers for work are really stressed out and pressured by the expectation of their parents and professors. In this sense, spending free time with comfortable atmosphere is important for them to relieve their stress. By having a humorous friend we can do it. For example, I recently earned bachelor’s degree and have tried to get a job. I have to study to get high score on TOIEC or TOEFL and national computer certificate to get a job. I am always dragged out after I study for 14 hours in the library. Thus, I would like to be relaxed when I have free time. It would be helpful that there is a friend who can make me laugh while I want to relax.
Secondly, we can learn a sense of humor from a humorous friend. In Korea, building the good relationship with coworkers is important because most Korean think that the person who does not have good relationship with others has some problems. As a result, most people get along with their coworkers after a job at the work. To facilitate a good relationship with coworkers, a sense of humor would be helpful. My friend, who recently got a job in the Hyundai, is worried about that he is shy. He asked me how he can make a good relationship with his seniors when he just got his job. I gave him some funny stories that I had read on the Internet, and he said it to his boss. After that the boss and my friend have gotten closer than before. It was the first step for him and his boss to make a close relationship.
To sum up, I think having a friend who has a sense of humor is better than an intelligent friend because they can make more comfortable and teach a sense of humor which can be used to make a good relationship with others.
