Friends are the beauty of the world. It’s really lucky to know a large number of people and be casual acquantances with them , however, nothing can compare to owning one or two close friends with you throughout the whole life period. As far as I’m concerned, besides several circumstances might happen, I do agree that it’s better to have close friends than to have many people just familiar with.

There are a lot of advantages among acquaintances. For example, if I want to buy a new house and decorate it into fancy modern style. It’s better to have friends who are acturally work in real-estate industry and decorating industry. Based on their professonal knowledge and expert experience, they are able to provide valuable suggestions for me. Another example will be more convincing. If twenty years later, my kid is facing a problem for choosing career. The best way to do so is to listen the true words from those people who already dedicate themselves in to those industries. From the perspective of teaching liberal arts, I might invite a friend who teach in university to givet my kid’s suggestions. All these acquaintances kept a good memory for a period of my life.

On the other hand, the close friends are not only give the best suggestions and advices from the professional perspective, they also use their heart to communicate. First of all, close friend are not easy to meet and even harder to development to close friend. Just think about it, among the whole 6 billion world population, it’s so not easy to meet. Friends are the best medication for frustration and fluctuate. The complexcity of the society made everyone masking or faking some part themselves, only facing the familiy and closest friends can one really open his heart and talk the truth. Not only it help strenghen the relationship between friends, it also good for heatly.  Secondly, “Friend indeed, friend in need. ”Close friends will reallly come to help even in the worst situation. Happiness can always share with anyone, no matter know or unknow, however, the sour and sadness seems only kept to one’s own. Like failure in business or lossing family member. At that special moment, the friends will be really a strong encouragement , coming to help vonlunteerly ,regardless of other gossip and unconvinent. The cusual acquaintances were not able to do that.

After all, if I got to choose, I will be more than happy having close friends around me , even one or two will be enough. By a large number of casual acquaintances? I guess it just depends on the job I will do and what I will face in the future.
