Friends are lifelong assets that will accompany us when we feel lonely, provide suggestions when we are in dilemma, and offer emotional support when we fell into depression. While some people might be busy expanding their network in Facebook or Twitter, I would rather stick to my old friends and discover more about them, because I think keeping my old friends is much more essential and rewarding than making new friends. I will try to illustrate my point of view as below.

Running into someone who can be treated as a valuable friend is a real bonanza in life, and this has been proved true several times by my personal experience. When I entered university several years ago, I was suffering loneliness deeply because it was just incredibly hard to find someone to talk to and who can understand what you are trying to express and provide helpful suggestions. But I still remember how grateful I was when I run into a girl, who almost had the same experiences and interests as me, as well the same outgoing and bold personalities. Indeed, amongst the thousands of hundreds people we come across in our life, spotting someone who has the same interests, educational background, and personalities as you do is just like throwing a dice.

Moreover, even you are lucky to have several soul mates it still cost a plenty of time and energy to maintain and develop the relationship. Some people may think that spending money to buy friends' birthday presents or contributing a whole weekend to hang out with friends is a real waste of time. However I believe there is nothing more worthwhile than that, since a friend is a rich asset that you can always learn new things from him or her. You may find your friend even more valuable when time pass by because they can always come up with new experiences and share them with you without considering privacy.

Admittedly, it's critical to expand personal networks especially considering career path, given that knowing more professional experts in the work field will boost your career life at later stage. Nevertheless, I strongly insist that it's unwise to spend too much energy or effort to get to know new people and try to make friends with them, for the reason that to foster a true friendship has no other way but devoting a long period of time.

Based on the discussions above, it's safe to draw the conclusion that although it's necessary to extend personal network, it's more intelligent to spend most of your time to build up a stronger relationship with your old friends. Trust me, you will soon find how rewarding and satisfying the friendships are.
