Do you agree or disagree? It is better to have two or three close friends than to have a large number of casual acquaintances
Every day we have to meet with various kinds of people and it is universally acknowledged that it is a must-do to build a good relationship with them and in this avenue it is not strange that we have a lot of casual acquaintances .As a matter of fact, there is an old saying goes, "You will be a happy person if you own 8 true friends in your life". Consequently, from my perspective view, compared with having a lot of casual acquaintances, it is one of the happiest things in the world to have two or three close friends by my side.
Only true friends, to some extent, are invariably standing in front of us to deal with the hard tasks with us. I still remember vividly once in high school, for instance, I was very excited when I knew that I got the chance to compete for the post of the president of the Student Union. However, I was nervous and I did not know how to exactly prepare my speech. At this crucial time it was my close friend, also being the deskmate of mine, who gave me the advice that I could make a list of the work that I had done for the class and the community and she recalled the precious experience together with me as well. It was from this inspiring talk that I got the central point of my later speech. With her sincere help, eventually, I won the election. I was very grateful to my close friend, who helped me in time and encouraged me a great deal. It is not hard to see that true friends are the optimal helpers when we are in dilemma or difficulty.
In addition, though true friends are hard to get and one might only have a few true friends, they are the people whom we can turn into and share the happiness with. For example, once in the middle school I got the first place in the sports meeting and I was so jovial that I told the exciting news to all my friends. It is the other way round that at the graduation time, when I mention this valuable memory again only my best friends remembered and some of my other friends forgot. It is manifest that only true friends are the people who may share the happiness of the growth with you and they will remember every step of your improvement.
Ultimately, it is not bad to make a lot of casual acquaintances but as far as I am concered, two or three close friends are the people who can go into the deep of my heart.
