SHELL Lego Collection Moment - When It Clicks,It Sticks
The
definition of a friend has changed in today’s technologically connected world.
Today we may think we have many “friends.” It is true: we do enjoy the ability
to be informed and to stay current with what is happening in the lives of many
of our acquaintances as well as current and former friends and even people we
have not met personally whom we call our friends.
Time and
distance do nothing to diminish the bond we have with these kinds of friends.
What draw us
together? Common interests. This
probably ties us closer to our friends than many would like to admit. When our
interests diverge and we can find nothing to enjoy jointly, time spent together
tends to rapidly diminish. Not that we can't still care deeply about friends
with whom we no longer share common interests, but it's probably uncommon for
such friends to interact on a regular basis.
Common values. Though not necessarily enough to
create a friendship, if values are too divergent, it's difficult for a
friendship to thrive.
Equality. If one friend needs the support of
the other on a consistent basis such that the person depended upon receives no
benefit other than the opportunity to support and encourage, while the
relationship may be significant and valuable, it can't be said to define a true
friendship.
A commitment
to your happiness. A true friend is consistently willing to put your happiness
before your friendship. It's said that "good advice grates on the
ear," but a true friend won't refrain from telling you something you don't
want to hear, something that may even risk fracturing the friendship, if
hearing it lies in your best interest. A true friend will not lack the mercy to
correct you when you're wrong. A true friend will confront you with your
drinking problem as quickly as inform you about a malignant-looking skin lesion
on your back that you can't see yourself.
Not asking
you to place the friendship before your principles. A true friend won't ask you
to compromise your principles in the name of your friendship or anything else.
Ever.
A good
influence. A true friend inspires you to live up to your best potential, not to
indulge your basest drives.
Once we are done building our Lego
set from Shell, I don’t want the moment to end... I told him, I the ultimate stage
of building Lego, and he replied “let’s
bake LEGO CAKE”. He supported me for the past 10 years, there is no way I
could repay this friendship. I could not ask for more. All I could do is being
a best friend that will stick with you no matter what the situation is and you
can always count on me being on your side.
A true
friend may have many different good qualities, but the basic qualities that all
good friends share with one another are the most important.
The best of friend, Worth more than gold, Give all the love, A heart can hold.
Rolling Fondant wasnt easy.
Sometimes, the biggest gift from above is Spending time and Create Memories
|
Although
true friendships can begin very quickly, they do take time to build into
lasting and valuable relationships. Many people have said good friends are hard
to find and even harder to keep, but everyone needs good friends even if they
are far and few between. A true friend can have many different good qualities,
but the qualities that add up to true friendship may be the most important.
THANK YOU! WITHOUT YOU ALL, MY LIFE WILL NOT BE SO UNIQUE. THANK YOU FOR KEEP CREATING BEAUTIFUL MEMORIES TOGETHER. THAT SMILEY FACE ON THE LEGO HEAD SAYS IT ALL. |
If you have
a few good friends, you are lucky, and if you take a closer look at the
qualities that your friends have that make them true pals you will find that
they share an essential group of traits, values and beliefs that all add up to
honesty and good character. People can have many good qualities, but the traits
that your true friends have are all tied together by a core of basic qualities
that all good friends share with one another.
I am so grateful for Shell Lego Collection for such wondering holiday get together moment.
