On Friendship
Everyone needs friendship. No one can sail the ocean of life single handed. We need help from, and also give help to, others. In the modern age, people attach more importance to relations and connections. A man of charisma has many friends. His power lies in his ability to give.
The term, friend, covers a wide range of raeanings. It can be a nodding acquaintance, a comrade, a confident, a partner, a playmate, a brother, an intimate etc.
As life is full of strife and conflict, we need friends to support and help as out of difficulties. Our frinods give us warnings against danger. True friends share not only joy but, more often than not, they share sorrow.
With friendship, life is happy and harmonious. Without friendship, life is hostile and unfortunate. I have friends in the rank and file. Some are rich and in power. Some are low and common. Some are like myself, working as a teacher, reading and writing and content with the simple life we have. To many of my friends, I know what to treasure, what to tolerate and what to share, I will never forget my old friends and keep making new friends. I will not he cold and indifferent to the poor friends and will show concern for them, even if it is only a comforting word.
談友誼
人人都需要友誼，沒有人能獨自在人生的海洋中航行。我們給人幫助也需要別人的幫助。在現代，人們更重視關系和聯系。一個有領袖氣質的人有許多朋友，他的權力在于他的給予能力。
朋友的意義很廣，可以是熟人、同志、知已、伙伴、玩伴、兄弟、密友等。
生活充滿矛盾和鬥爭，我們需要朋友的支持，以幫助我們擺脫困境。朋友提醒我們警惕險難。真正的朋友不僅與我們同甘，而且共苦。
友誼使生活幸福，和諧，沒有友誼的生活充滿敵意和不幸。我有地位高的朋友，也有地位低的朋友，有的有錢有權，有的位卑而平凡。有的和我一樣教書，讀寫，滿足于簡樸的生活。對我的眾多朋友，我知道該珍惜什麽，容忍什麽，分享什麽。我不會忘記老朋友，同時繼續交新朋友。對窮朋友不冷漠，關心他們，哪怕隻是一句安慰的話。
