One In A Million Pal

“A friend is a single soul dwelling in two bodies.”
Aristotle

Do you believe in this quote by Aristotle?

Why single soul dwelling in two bodies?

Maybe it is because, that every little thing you do, he/she understands it. You get along well with each other and just a small wink of your eye; he/she then identifies what you want to say to him/her. Have you experienced that?

I do.

For me a friend is…

I describe a friend as someone who is always there for you when you need help and always there to support your good intentions. Making friends to someone is not a difficult task at all. All you need to do is smile. By this gesture, the one you smiled at will respond to you in a smile also. You and your friend share a lot of things and likes common things.

A Friend is someone who:

  • * helps you in making good deeds is one,
  • * is always true to you and says the truth about certain things, is a good and true friend,
  • * will never encourage you to take prohibited,
  • * will not put you into trouble and not backbite you,
  • * always listens to your problems and stories without giving advices that are not good for you,
  • * is very hospitable and caring,
  • * gives you intermediate paper when you do not have one,
  • * lends you a stapler when you do not hold one,
  • * lends you a book and sometimes forget to get it from you,
  • * who scolds you if you make something awful and ugly,
  • * likes the clothes you wear and admire you for your awesome personality,
  • * will make you smile when you are sad,
  • * shares his or her umbrella to you during rainy days and on hot days,
  • * protects you from those bad boys on the streets
  • * accompanies you to everywhere you go,
  • * shares who is her/his crush and telling you not to reveal it,
  • * helps you in cleaning the classroom,
  • * asks you if you are okay, “are you feeling well?”, and all those stuffs,
  • * helps you in going to the clinic and will never leave you until you feel well,
  • * teach you things that you never know before,
  • * helps you in borrowing books from the other room,
  • * helps you in finding good and durable photo albums,
  • * helps you in looking for a cloth
  • * etc..

Every person that you see are all your friends. Your sisters, brothers, mother, father, grandparents, uncles, aunties, cousins, neighbors, classmates, enemies, seatmates, teachers, the staffs in your school, the passengers inside the public utility vehicles and all the people and individuals that are surrounding you are all your friends. Jesus is a friend as well as the angels that are guarding you.

No matter what walk in life you are in, every person you meet in your way, are your friends. All you have to do is just smile at him or her and greet them every morning, evening, and everyday.

Like you, I gain a lot of friends along the way, let us not forget to cherish the old ones. I know that even your pet is your friend. Our friends deserve special place in our hearts and they also deserve a SMILE.

According to Cicero, “Friendship makes prosperity more brilliant, and lightens adversity by sharing and dividing it.”

They are a one in a million pal.
