Friends of Benefit-Part 1

Over the last few weeks, especially on weekends, I have been privileged to hook up with some friends I have not seen in a long time. Owing to different reasons, we have been apart (physically) - after all 20 friends cannot “play” together for 20 years.

We had a lot of things to talk about, recalling those good old days and motivating ourselves to make the future a better one. As the gist went on, we learnt from one-another's mistakes and shortcomings -we shared our experiences and updated ourselves about our various activities.

More importantly, we talked about solutions to the shortcomings we highlighted. 

My dear reader, any kind of relationship that is not adding value to you is not worth sweating over, be it a relationship with the same sex or from the opposite sex. A friend is like an exchange- you exchange ideas, experiences, motivation, knowledge, inspiration etc. even mentors learn from their protégé…in case you don’t know, ask your mentor if you have one.

Take note of the following nuggets about friendship or any kind of relationship:

•   Everyone has something to add to the other. 
•   Everyone is comfortable in one another’s presence. 
•   No one is too big to be corrected 
•   No one is afraid to share his or her success secrets with others.
• We can count on one another’s loyalty even while “blind”
• No (positive) sacrifice is too much to make for one another.
• Everyone’s success or failure is the responsibility of all.
