Is likely to people have no friend are happy ? I do not think so. Spending time on chatting daily life, eating nice foods and playing exercises with friend is absolutely essential part of human being's lives. Without it, our lives are like a desert has no oasis, where there is no plant, living creature, even wind. However, people cannot develop their live, if they only spend their time with friends, especially in their young ages. In other words, to make people grow up, people have to be helped by parents and teachers. Influence they give to you is far overarching than your friends give.
To begin with, in one's life, the role of parents has amount of influence. There is a saying in China, "The length of bridges your parents have crossed is far longger than the length of road you have walked." This maxim means that our parents have much more knowledge they learned from real experience. As mother and father who brought you to life, they constantly give us priceless lessons through our entire life. When we are faced with a demanding situation, they give invaluable advice and support us, requiring any award. When we do not know which way is better for us, they light a right way for our happiness. That is why parents have more influence in one's life than friends.
On top of that, teachers play more significant role in one's young adult age. This is largely because, people who are in this age have to make a considerable decision about their major and friends also are in same situation. Teacher is the only person can provide appropriate information and can advise which is suitable with one's aptitude. They already have a lot of experience which equipped students with best suitable skills and knowledge are needed for later on. For example, when I was in high school, I did not make a decision which department in university is good for me until I had a consult with my teacher. Given lots of invaluable lessons, I could chosen my major by talking with him.
To summary, even though we can share same feelings and problems with friends, if we do not rely on our parents and teachers, we are more likely to lose valuable things, especially in our young ages. By receiving their advices, we can improve quality of our lives and widen our perspectives toward the world. |
