Assalamualaikum to all of you. How are you today? Have you meet your friends today? When talking about friend, I think most of us have their own description, opinion or subjective definition for the meaning of friends, right?? Well, for me the meaning of friend is wide. I think friend is person who could accept me or others without any limits and requirements and I also could accept them. I’m a person who could be with anyone where as long as they could accept me as their friends. However, they are a lot of types of friends. There are friends for play, study, enjoy, share our feeling and also bring us to bad habit.

So, we must know how to choose our friends. It does not mean that I’m a choosy person. I just want to share about the influence of friends to our life. I always hear speech that said “if we chose the right person to be our friends, he or she could lead us to the good things. Meanwhile, if we choose the wrong person we could be influence to the bad things together with them”. This phrase shows the important of friends in our daily life. When we make new friends, of course we could not read their attitude yet. It takes times before we could know our friends better. Then, if we found out the bad things of our friends from others, we should not push them before we investigate those facts true or not. So, it is important to make sure the attitude of our friends first before being to close with them.

For me, there a lot of factors in friends where one of it is we must respect our friends. It means we must accept our friends opinion if they give suggestion or idea especially when work as a team. Then, we also should trust our friends such as when we work in a team we must not be a selfish person. The marks in a team are either collective marks or individual marks, so we must not do the assignment or works by our own. We must think about others, where we should divide the works almost equal to each person means there will be no people that did not do work in the team. The other factors are toleration, helping each other, working or studying together and many more when we make friends with people.

As the conclusion, I just want to say that know your friends, respect them and be good friends to others so we also could have good friends too. Have a nice day, enjoy your friendship with others as it could never be replace with others and appreciate this relationship.
