Facts about friends

We often see people forwarding soppy mail about friendship everyday. I wonder why. If friends are so important and so precious do we really need to be reminded about each other’s value? Isn’t it crazy? Why not we limit our mailing to things that are really worth reading about? Email isn’t to waste our time; it is, to save it instead. The time spent on getting rid of junk mail may be reduced if we did give some thought about what we send our friends and colleagues. Anyway here are a few TRUE facts about friends.

Every member in your family and classroom and work places can achieve this status. It is especially important to be friends with the people at home – siblings and parents. Achievement is realized by doing tasks that are challenging. And it is indeed challenging to make friends with the ones that we think that we love every day and night but not really sure.

F – Faithful and free
R – ready for anything
I – invaluable
E – Everlasting
N – Never giving up
D – Devoted till death

This list is getting too long. I’m sure there’s much more that I cannot think of coz I’m so sleepy now but if these characteristics are present in the ones you associate with…you’re lucky and YOU SURE GOT A FRIEND!!! It is however very hard to find all of the above characteristics present in one person, the objective should be to adjust and correct a few details here and there. This is way longer than I expected it to be.
