Newfriends or old friends? It is universally considered that friends are the most invaluable treasure in our life. A person without a true friend, should be regarded as a pathetic and unsuccessful one, even though he has a huge amount of money. But when to whether it is more important to make new frinds or to keep old friends, there are invariably unconsistant viewpoints. As to me, I believe that making new friends have much vitaler merits, for your own changing situations, the fresh viewpoints of new friends .
In fact, people can not always stick to their old friends for their whole life. Times change after all. When you go to a university far away from your hometown, you can not take your friends with you. Although you can keep in close touch with them by periodical letters, telephones,and convenient e-mails, the reality is that when you are away from each other geologically, distance arises in your old friendship. You can not conrol the pace of the fading of your affection, whch only prosper when you and your friends can have the opportunity to go to a movie together, sharing a book together, having meals together. So it should be a natural process to say goodbye to your old frinds and welcome the new ones when you go to another place, or originate a new job.
Besides, new frinds can bring new ideas and viewpoints, juist like the fresh breeze from the countryside, to make us have a broader insight to the whole world and fit to the society. Take my own experience for example, when I was in graduate school, I met a boy who was very sunshining and outward. On the contrary, I am just a shy girl who was always fail to deal with new people. He taughts me that since I was not a little girl under the protection of my parents, I should learn to accommodate my life to the pratical siociety and make promising future for mysely. Then I was instructed to make occational oppoinments to the professors, my classmate as well as a few social people. I lerned a lot of social skills in this process which is vital in this competitive world. And I am really thanksful to my new frind.
People may also argue that only old priends are reliable and kind to you, and when you are in big trouble the person who appears and helps you is always your old true friend. Jusy as a old saying goes” A friend in need is a friend indeed”. However, I think that these people may fail to envision that all old friends are evolved from new frinds. When you cultivate the new relationship heart and soul, a beautiful friendship flower will grow up.
So from what I have analyzed, you may also lean to stand with me and try to make more new friends from this moment, why not? New frinds will make our life much facinating and enjoyable, it is also a natual thing since the world is chaging all the time. |
