PAWAR PUBLIC SCHOOL: ETERNAL FRIENDS
THE INTRODUCTION
|
TRUE FRIENDS
A friend is like an owl, both beautiful and wise. Or perhaps like a ghost, whose spirit never dies. A friend is like a heart that goes strong until the end. Where would we be in this world if we didn’t have a friend. |
|
Friendship means closeness without any selfish motive. But true friendship us rarely seen. Growing true friendship depends upon selection of a friend. Men of similar moral idea irrespective of social, cultural, educational and financial idea may grow true friendship. Growing true friendship is very hard and it takes time but once the friendship is broken it can never be patched up.
Friendship is adversity. Prosperity brings friends but adversity tries them. In good days of a man his so-called friends gather around him, treat him as a beehive. So long he lives in prosperity the friends cling to him like leeches. But when his bad day starts, no friend can be seen. But a true friend does not leaving his friend in any situation. He is ready even to die for him |

TYPES OF FRIENDS YOU NEED TO HAVE
1. A Loyal Best Friend
Sometimes a loyal best friend is the only thing you need to stay sane. Everyone needs a non-judgmental friend who will support them no matter what. This is the kind of friend who lets you be a hot mess and knows all of your deepest and darkest secrets, but still loves you all the same.
2. A Fearless Adventurer
We live in a big world where there are so many places to see, people to meet, and experiences to be had, yet so many of us are stuck in our own routines and forget to, well, live. We all need an adventurous friend who will pull us out of our shells and introduce us to new ideas, cultures, philosophies, and activities.
4. A Wise Mentor
Jesse Jackson once said, “Never look down on someone unless you’re helping them up.”
The wise mentor in your life doesn’t have to be someone who shares the same occupation or hobbies with you. It’s simply someone who’s a few steps ahead of you in life and has enough wisdom and patience to guide you in the right direction. It can be anyone — a colleague, a friend who’s beyond their years, or an older neighbor — as long as you look up to this person and want to be more like them.
5. A Friend From a Different Culture
The last thing you want to be described as is someone who’s stuck in their own ways. If everyone had a friend from a different culture, the world would be a much better place. Being in a cross-cultural friendship allows you to explore customs, values, and traditions outside of your own culture. Sometimes you might even adopt new ways to do things.
6. A Polar Opposite
We humans are hard-wired to get together in groups and attack outsiders — the human pack mentality, if you will. If you only develop friendships with others who follow the same beliefs, customs, and values as you do, chances are you’re somewhat detached from the rest of the world, and you’re more likely to perpetuate stereotypes on anyone who holds a different world view from you.
Instead of constantly surrounding yourself with like-minded people, try to break out of your comfort zone and befriend people who hold opposing views. They will help open your eyes to different world views and you’ll learn to accept people who don’t see the world exactly the way you see it.
7. A Friendly Neighbor
These days, a lot of people don’t know their own neighbors. It’s a shame, because some neighbors can be the nicest and most helpful people ever. If you’re on a vacation, and you suddenly realize that you forgot to lock the front door, you can call up your trusty ol’ neighbor and ask them to head over to your house and lock it for you. Nice dependable neighbors who have each other’s backs are a dying breed, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t introduce yourself to the new neighbors across the street!

FRIENDS IN DIFFERENT AGES
Childhood
In childhood, friendships are often based on the sharing of toys, and the enjoyment received from performing activities together. These friendships are maintained through affection, sharing, and creative playtime. While sharing is difficult for children at this age, they are more likely to share with someone they consider to be a friend .As children mature, they become less individualized and are more aware of others. They begin to see their friends' points of view, and enjoy playing in groups. Adulthood Adults may find it particularly difficult to maintain meaningful friendships in the workplace. "The workplace can crackle with competition, so people learn to hide vulnerabilities and quirks from colleagues. Work friendships often take on a transnational feel; it is difficult to say where networking ends and real friendship begins."Most adults value the financial security of their jobs more than friendship with coworkers.The majority of adults have an average of two close friends. Old age As family responsibilities and vocational pressures become less, friendships become more important.Among the elderly, friendships can provide links to the larger community; especially for people who cannot go out as often, interactions with friends allow for continued societal interaction. Additionally, older adults in declining health who remain in contact with friends show improved psychological well-being. |
