오랜 친구 관계 유지가 새 친구 만드는 것 보다 중요? |
Have you ever thought about not having anyone near you but yourself? That would be really scary. You would have no one to talk to or to spend time with. We as a group of people live together. Therefore, humans naturally tend to get to know people. However, people all have different views of having friendships with others. Some tries to maintain their friendships that they have made since kindergartens or at work place. Others suggest that they should take time to make new friends than to keep friendship with certain people for a long time. There is a quote, “a man who has one or two sincere friends is a true successful man.” Like this quote, having a true friend is more important. This proves that certain friends do trust a man or woman. A man who is able to make sincere friends is likely trustworthy and knows how to keep friendships with people. To illustrate, my uncle has become very successful as a businessman. However, he once said he is not still satisfied. Then he realized he needed some sincere friends that he can enjoy with. He did know many faces but they were just co-workers or business people. He always tried to get to know new faces but he actually didn’t take time to make true friendship with people. As people generally know, maintaining friendship is very difficult and time consuming. A person having some true friends will clearly prove that he or she has taken some time to maintain friendships with others. We may call that person as a successful man. Getting to know different people is very exciting. This is because we get to experience novel and mysterious events from different people constantly. This will naturally attract people. However, making new relationship isn’t always fun and beneficial. As I previously mentioned, a person who makes new friends will eventually have a lot of people that one knows, but not in a deep way. On the other hand, a person will have greater chance to get to know one or certain people closer. For instance, one of my friends seemed to have many friends. She always hung out with friends and spent her leisure with them. However, when I once read her diary accidentally, she wrote how she was so lonely because she had no one to talk about her personal problems. What she needed was a true friend who can listen and understand her. To summarize, People may have different views of friendship. Some will continuously get to know new faces and others will try hard to maintain healthy friendships. However, like the quote that I mentioned earlier, sustaining friendships and making true friends are the most critical values that people should keep in mind. True friends will be with you for good; not just everyone that you know. |
