Friendship Matters

"Friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief." Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 B.C.) Orator, statesman, philosopher

Many people think that we are somehow born with the ability to establish friendships since friendships are an integral part of a person's life. I feel that this is not true as I've witnessed many struggling with friendship and having little or no friends - I was once a loner geek too!

It was Dale Carnegie's bestseller "How to Win Friends and Influence People" that helped me learn the art of establishing and maintaining friendships. One of the most effective principles that remains etched in my mind and heart is Principle 1 of "Six Ways to Make People Like You": Become genuinely interested in other people.

Friendship matters and thus we should never leave friendship matters to ignorance, chance and neglect but to learn how to nurture it with sincerity, care and love.
