Subject: How to make influence of friends more positive and productive
Dear Sir,
Through the colour of your esteemed newspaper, I wish to discuss how we can make the influence of friends more positive and productive in our life.
In our life Friendship is a valuable relationship. It enables us to establish a bond of companionship wherein we are able to share our joys and sorrows with our buddy. People said- Friendship is the only relationship that we make our own choice - other family relationships are given by God.
Friends always support in our work, no matter what kind of work it is. They are always there for us. But like there are always two sides of a coin, our friends too can have both positive and negative impact on us, especially during our student life. Peer pressure can make us develop certain vices which can become a habit.We need to make friendship more positive and productive and this can be done through making use of our time with friends in a productive manner, learning well from each other, encouraging and supporting each other positively and taking up some projects and social work.
A man is known by the company he keeps. As it is said that too many cooks spoil the broth, I feel that books and friends should be few and good.By taking up these measures we can certainly prove that the saying, friends in need is a friend indeed' is true.
Your sincerely
