Hey cool pa, i saw so many blog sites but none of them discussed about friendship, yes in our life, god gave so many precious things, in that one is friendship . As you said about parents, yes i agree some of the them belive but most of them not.

i have lots of friends in my schools and college but some of them only keeping touch with me , i trust my friends , hope they also. you know one in friendship main thing is trusting , we should trust each others. we have so many relationship in our life but they are never equal to friends.
we can discuss more about friendship because its endless. but i think now its enough
I love your blog

This is a great look at something that people don’t really think about much.

From an early age, while many of my peers went out of their way to build a large circle of friends, I tended to try and develop a *strong* circle of friends.

Consequently, I have a small circle of friends that I trust and rely on and who can say the same about me.

I don’t consciously pick friends or limit the number of friends that I have (I have lots of friendly acquaintances), but I feel like I naturally gravitate toward quality people whose personalities align with my own. Most importantly, it becomes a tight-knit network of people who are almost like family.

I had never really looked at it in detail until reading this post, but I feel like I’m fortunate to have stumbled upon this way of doing things at an early age.

Great insight. I am reading Robert Sutton’s book on bad workplace behaviour and just completed the part about how that if we are surrounded by jerks at a workplace, we will also end up being a jerk as well. This sort of behaviour extremely evident in animals that herd or have a social structure, or which we are one. Herd Instinct or mentality.
I believe that for us to be successful in whatever we want to do, we should mix with the people that are successful in same endeavour as well.
