Choosing Friends



Dear Friends,

Today I have learned a valuable lesson. We should think about our close friends. There are devils and angels between them. So we have to choose them wisely. I don't want you to suffer what I have gone through. Today I nearly Lost my guarding angel. She cared for me more the anyone. So I have decided to give you some advice on choosing friends.

And on this moment I would like ask her to forgive me. Here after I will never make her feel bad because of me. Today i have noticed the importance of her in my life.



Since humans were created, we need the close association of others. As humans, we cannot live happy or meaningful lives to ourselves. We need to be with other people. We need the love our friends have for us. Life is more pleasant when we have those who care about us and our welfare. We need to know there are those who love us no matter what may come our way or theirs. A best friend loves will you at all times.

Friends satisfy many needs like the need for someone to share our joy and happiness the need for someone to cheer us in times of sadness and the need to help us relax and recreate from the routine and pressures of life. Actually, there are an infinite number of reasons why we need friends.

What Is a Friend?

Most Dictionaries defines a friend as "a person who has a real liking for and confidence in another person". But what I believe is that Our close friends are those whom we love and are dear to us. They are those in whom we have confidence that they hold us.

Sadly, some whom we think are our friends are not good friends. For one to be a good friend he must not only be good to us but also good for us. We need to be careful in choosing only those friends that are good for us.

We must then realize it is better to have a few friends, even just one, who will be the right kind of friends than a multitude of the kind who could cause us to lose our life.

We must choose friends who will be good examples to us and others. In that light, choose friends who:

* Have good morals
* Are modest
* Abstain from drinking alcohol
* Can bridle their tongues
* Are honest
* make you happy
* respect God.

Friends are priceless. "A man who has friends must himself be friendly, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother. No amount of money could be enough to replace true friends. We can rejoice in their faithfulness and delight in being around them. We should thank God daily for the friends that we have and pray that the day will never come when we do not have friends.



Hope you have forgiven me my friend. Please comment if you have forgiven me. Just say anything.

  • FOR MY BEST FRIEND.........

    This is for you, my best friend,
    the one person i can tell my soul too
    Who can relate to me like no other
    Who I can laugh with to no extents,
    Who I can cry too when times are tough,
    Who can help me with the problems of my life.
    Never have you turned your back on me
    Or told me I wasnt good enough
    Or let me down
    I don't think you know what that means to me
    You have went through so much pain and you still have time
    For me.
    And I love you for listening even when inside YOU are dying
    And I look up too you because you are strong,
    and caring
    and beautiful.
    Even though you don't think you are.
    And I hope you know that I am always here
    To listen to you laugh and cry and help
    In all the ways that i can
    And I will try to be at least half the friend you are
    To me.
    I hope you know I would not be the person I am today, with out you. My friend.

    FRIENDS FOREVER..........

    Wish u success n happiness alwax..

  • Muawwaz, you are absolutely correct :)

    When talking about "CHOOSING FRIENDS" we have to remember friendship is a two way thing. Usually we can get along with friends possessing similar characters and values.

    Being with friends, having true friends gives us a sense of belonging. There are times when we get stressed out while trying juggling our school life, engaged life, married life, family life and work life.

    Getting our minds drifted in conducting research and writing reports, getting ourselves soaked with the tension of controlling the uninterested and uncontrollable students and managing the intolerable subordinates, getting ourselves drowned with endless family responsibilities, we get exhausted and we loose our mind. DON’T WE???? YES WE DO.

    We need a break; we need time to recover from the invisible and unnoticeable mental injuries that happen while juggling our life. And we get the best means of recovery from our TRUE FRIENDS. True Friends heal the injuries with their medicine of encouraging words, give us therapy by listening to our problems and cool down ourselves with their inspiring and counseling water. Talking to friend/friends gives us an inexpressible feeling that evaporates the tensions in our mind.

    But if we happen to chose the INCORRECT (immoral, unethical, dishonest, sinful,…….) FRIENDS they actually deceive us by showing us the Casinos, dosing us with heroin and addicting us to different types of drugs.

    No matter how rich we are, how knowledgeable we are and what post we hold, without TRUE FRIENDS our lives are and will be empty, meaningless and bored. So be wise in choosing true and good friends for life.

    Thanks to all my true and good friends. And muawwazz, you are one of them 
