Who Do You Call Your Friend?

There is a saying that says, show me your friend and I will tell you who you are. Friends are the ones who can raise one another in times of trouble or distress: There are many but few friends out there who are ready to raise their friends to better people in life. One of my students who came to visit us happens to tell us the way he helped one of his friends who were his mate why they were still in school back then. He went to school to study engineering, but in the end, he found himself in the military field. He decided to go to Navy School. Now he is a Navy officer and a senior officer for that matter. He deviated from the parts which he was into a part that will bring him success. Now he is into fetching business making a lot of money, and he decided to quit the navel. He met his schoolmate who was seriously in need of one to help him. Immediately and undoubtedly, he helped his mate, which happened to be his friend. Now they are both doing very well and very better. This life is all about friends helping each other and making each other grow. Many today are ready to help their close friends, and many as well are ready to push away their friends. Someone said it is very much right for a friend to enjoy his friends when he is still alive, but once something happens to him, it becomes the family that will enjoy him or her. So, friends are to scratch each other's back, but not to inflict things on each other. Take a look at my wonderful sponsors In another way, friends can also put one in a state of confusion: Many friends do not want their fellow to progress but can find certainly to make sure that they remain in the same States they are. They can always find ways to counter a good idea that their friends are having. This is because they are not ready to render help to their friends but already to make sure that they are friends remain in that particular state instead of a state of progression. This reminded me of the one I called my best friend and my childhood friend. We both went to the same secondary school, and we were living in the same house as sometimes I can sleep in his place why he can also sleep in my place. We were very, very close. When I was true with my polytechnic, he asked if I can come to the place he was living, and I did not object just because there was no work. I lived with him and his sister with the husband in the same house. I began to teach, after which I put in for further studies. Likewise, I went to the universities to study mathematics education just because of the educational line I have placed myself in. To him, he went to a higher University to obtain his degree, after which he was back for business. He embarked on serious business and was doing very fine. He began to progress gradually, he got to his peak. The funniest aspect of it was that after he became rich, he neglected me. He began to move with those who are also rich and have cats just like him. So, I'll be going to struggle to ensure that I live my life to my standard. I never, for once, ask for anything from him except one day when I ask you opened up to me that he can name again someone close to him this money. That is, he can never borrow his money from somebody close to him. After that day, I refused from asking for any money from him. He is a free giver to that outside, but to me, I now serve as his enemy who he does not want to progress. Any idea I bring out that can make me progress, he always rejected it and counter it. He will never give me the idea that can make me progress, but he always ensures that he mocked me because he wants to avoid seeing me progressing. He detests seeing me progressing. So, I deduced a method that I will never tell him my plans, and we always forge ahead instead of depending on him. There was a time he promised to help me, but up till today the help is still in the air without coming forth. I can say in conclusion that we are friends but living like enemies even though we are still friends. There is no day he will not call me to tell me of the new car he wants to buy. Anything he wants to buy, I will be the first he will call before buying such a thing. He always does that to laugh at me, but I'm someone who does not care, instead will rejoice with you when you are progressing. Friends should see each other as one and must try certainly to help one another instead of separating.
