▶ Your Answer : There might be some people who prefer smart or cheerful friends. However, I personally prefer considerate friends for the subsequent two reasons. First, people can build true friendship with considerate friends. Second, considerate friends help us to improve abilities in career.
To begin with, considerate friends make us comfortable and happy. In other words, depending on our situation, only considerate friends react properly. So, this kind of considerable behavior enhance the true friendship. Let me bring up my personal story as an example. When I lost my job last year, my cheerful friend gave me only possitive comments. At that time, I felt anytthing about the comments at all. On the other hand, my considerate friend cried with me first without any comments and then he gave me the realistic advice how to deal with my problem. Through the experience, we became best friends each other.
On top of that, considerate friends improve our career skills. To be specific, considerate friends give us suitable advice for enhancing the abilities. However, smart friend can give the right answer but they cannot give the proper one for us just like considerate friends. For example, a recent study was conducted by Korea business Associate to find out the way how Korea top 20 CEOs get the advice. The result was intriguing because many people thought top CEOs trust the smart people's advice but they answered they listen to only conciderate friends' advice. This is because the advice is practically helpful for their career.
