My friend’s opinion is that most people will get their
bestfriends from school. The working world is full of backstabbers and friendship
for purpose only. If you have something that benefits them, then only they be nice to you. So is this true in your case?
Come to think about it, it’s the same everywhere we are. At
school before, or at work now, even at home, even at the family reunion, it’s
always a bunch of people with different nature, attitudes, habits, appearances.
The only thing about school is, we know each other at the earlier age. So we
get to share things and make memories with each other to bring with us even
after graduation. So it’s really not right to generalize people we meet at
different age. We cannot run away from dealing with individuals with different
personalities, different outlook in life, different way of thinking etc.
Question is, are you willing to do that much to start accepting or be accepted
by some new good friends?
My opinion is – since we know nobody’s perfect…Accept
weaknesses of others, and be gladly to do so even more to those who can accept
ours. In my surrounding now, I do have a few people I can sit and chit chat
with, I can go to have meals with, I can even share some personal things and
secrets too. If you ask me, are they my new bestfriends? It doesn’t matter,
right? It’s not about the label. It’s about good company. Knowing them as
imperfect humans, after some time, I know their weaknesses and advantages. I
had that moments of dissatisfaction towards them, but I put them all in the
past. Because of our maturity, we tend not to go to “the weakness area”. We wilI
keep that part untouched. Knowing that everyone
have their good sides, always be at THEIR GOODNESS SIDE whenever you have
encounters with them. Allow only healthy friendship, good conversation, good
laugh, good stories – so you don’t need to always have your good schoolday
friends to be there before you can enjoy a good company. That’s more like survival
method in the world where you are not living alone. You gotta tap their good
nature so you can even help them shine better! It’s no secret but just in case
you have not yet started, stop finding faults in people. If they are bad from
B-Z, then just mingle at their A zone. The better you can keep good relation
with people, the better your days gonna be. Remember, everyone has that good
side in them. Bring your good side out, and associate with their good side. Do
this and you are one way ahead in making this world a better place for you and
me J
