Friendship is a precious gift in our lives. It is a human instinct to make friends. When in trouble, we need friends to offer us help, support, and encouragement. With success achieved, we also need friends to share our joys. Friendship implies loyalty, cordiality, sympathy, affection, and readiness to help. No man can make the most of his life without carefully and conscientiously striving to win the right kind of friends as he goes along. Knowing how valuable friendship is, we should be very careful in making friends. Real friends are those who have good character and superior qualities.
