Text Speech: Friends

FRIENDS

(This is the text speech that I had used during my public speaking which was presented in front of the audience at the PMKN's Hall on Monday 30th July 2001.)

To my friends,
Past, present and future...

"To have a friend, be a friend!"

We have all kinds of friends, some are good, and some are not. So what is friendship, really?

Friendship, they say, differs from all other relationship. Unlike acquaintanceship, friendship is based on loved. Unlike lovers and married couples, friendship is free from jealousy. Unlike children and parents, friendship knows neither criticism nor resentment.

Friendship has no status in law. Business partnerships are based on contract, so is marriage. Parents are bound by the law, as are the children.

Friendship is freely entered into, freely given and freely exercised; otherwise it is not friendship. Need to remember, to give and to take are two things that differ. Friendship, is NOT something that is accepted today and outdated tomorrow, it is forever!

Friendship begins with sincerity. It is full of forgiveness. With just a smile, you can build an interaction and bond to anew friendship. It risks you absolutely nothing.

As a friend, one cannot and should not expect anything in return. People come into our lives for a reason, or perhaps, for a season. When it is for a reason, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed, and if it is for a season, then, they have be fair-weather friends!

Friends are like gold, they are a treasure. They don’t cheat, lie to or take advantage of, one another. Friends; do not spy on one another, they have no secrets. Friends bask in each other’s success, and despair over failures. Friends minister to each other, nurse each other.

Friends; give, worry, stand by, and are always ready to help. If you speak to oneself, no one would hear, but if you speak to one else, they would understand you dear.

Perfect friendship is rarely achieved, but if you do have it, you are indeed blessed. Be a friend, it is a rewarding experience. Don’t expect anything in return. Lifetime relationship, teaches you lifetime lessons. It is said, that love is blind, but friendship is clairvoyant, accept it, as it is relatively unchanged since then and although.


Do not walk in front of me,
For I may not be able to follow.
Do not walk behind me,
For I may not be able to lead.
But just walk beside me
And be a friend!

We pass through this way once,
So what good we can do,
Let us do it now; for,
We will never pass this way again.

I like this pets
And I’m always so glad
Just hold my hand
And I’ll be your best friend.
