[8.9独立]You can know a lot about a person through the types of friends this person has
"Birds of a feather flock together", the crucial criterion when people select friends concerns same interests, common hobbies, or similar values, which ensure one to get along with others well. Girls, especially, even unbosom theirselves to each other. Therefore, I claim that we, indeed, can know a lot about a person through his/her friends for several reasons as presented below.
To begin with, from the superficial level, we can know one's personal preference through the types of friends this person has. Such as what's the person's favourite food; which movie he/she likes most; what kind of sports he/she prefers. Take myself as an example, I always go to KTV with my college classmates on weekends. We know each other quite well. During one gathering, I was occupied by some work, so I came to the KTV half an hour later. When I arrived there, unexpectedly, my buddies had already ordered my favourite potato chips and my adept songs. I believe that no one knows my preference better than my best friends do. Absolutely, everyone may have the same feeling in this case.
What's more, were you eager to understand one deeply, starting with his/her friends, definitely, would be the best choice. Since friends have experienced many things together, no matter success or failure, they have seen the most realistic part of each other. Thus, friends know a person's characteristics well: in difficulties, he/she is optimistic or negative; in success, is modest or arrogant; in quarrel, is patient or unreasonable. Besides, people can know a person from what types of friends he/she has. A type of volunteer friends might indicate a person loves volunteer activities and is enthusiastic; a type of band friends might mean a person likes rock music and is somewhat rebel. My roommate, Meng meng, rich as she is, she still has many needy friends. Therefore, I consider she has a high-mindedness.
In conclusion, to know a person well from himself/herself is difficult, for he/she might disguise self, might unwillingness to talk about the past. However, people could know these things from his/her friends easily and objectively. Accordingly, I maintain that we can know a person well from his/her friends. |
