Something I have learnt about Friends.

It's been long since i dropped a post. Life is a learning process and lately, I happened to gather something I would like to jolt down. Not necessarily for the world, but for the internet to keep it in some cloud servers somewhere so anytime I would need to remind myself in times to come....I would revisit.    We realise that those small note books we write on, will fill up and we will be forced to burn them in the pile of litter that has been filling our places.

There is need to have genuine friends today. In a world where there is too much pressure around us.

• If it's not pressure to get your child to the most preferred day care,it's having the latest flosset..
• If it's not the pressure to marry and get married it's pressure to acquire more than enough money that can school an abandoned child in a private school from age three and a half through to university.  list goes on and on....
• innate pressure to get going and to tell the world that your life is getting better...and actually post it in those frozen moments in status updates. 

While we're at it, I wish i would know how to make like real good friends. Ones who can carry you in
 dark times, call you and say it is okay and it will be okay.

The need to make it and to get the assurance that you're doing well is so much that you can get lost and end up depressed trying to benchmark with peers and old friends.

First things first.. set goals for yourself...not for them...or for us, but for yourself.
Secondly. Have an in-depth knowledge of the networks you create and grow...It will help you know where to trigger when the right time comes...to take you closer to your dreams..

We also need to have friends who will be genuine to criticize us for our growth....

You can't have enough genuine friends today.


My Take;

Be the genuine friend you want to have to others... Why? Because Life is like a mirror.  It reflects what we give. Don't worry if you are the one who is always giving..one day, someday you must get returns.. on that one day!
