The Most Valuable Thing in Life is Friendship. Do You Agree?

Discuss
A world without friendship, what would it look like? It would be like a world without water,
which is something that is necessary to our life as most relationship in our life, namely rivalry, best friend
and couple; begins with a simple friendship. Therefore, in my opinion, yes, friendship is indeed the most
valuable thing in life as friends learns with you, be the listener to you, and gives support to you whenever
you needed them.
Having friends does not make you weak; in fact it makes you stronger than ever as true friend
helps to cover each others' weaknesses. Similarly, when parents are busy to teach you your school works
or unable to teach you because parents are having lower education level than you are, people always
choose to study with a group of friend together whereby they might be able to learn faster that way.
In fact, people tends to share their difficulties in life with friends than their own family because
they feel awkward and scared that parents might started to scold or ground them once they told the
hardships they faced. While you did not mention about the problem to anyone, a true friend can see the
pain you are hiding behind a fake smile on your face and they will always be there for you. Therefore,
friend is an alternative for a good listener because a true friend will never spread the miserable or
embarrassing stories you faced to others as they know the true value of friendship.
Apart from that, a true friend always supports you whenever you feel down or depressed.
Whenever you are sad, they will lend you their shoulder for you to cry on or even crack some cold jokes
occasionally to make you smile and happy again. While cheering you up, they would give you advice on
how to handle the difficulties wisely for example, when people had a quarrel with their parent and ran
away from home, a friend would advise them to make up with their parent rather than making things more
complicated.
To conclude, it is undeniable that every single person that enters your life may affect your future
therefore, friendship is very important and you must choose your friend wisely to have a better future else
it will harm you badly in various ways. Friends give us supports, never failed to make us smile when we
are in sorrow and our lives will be much better with their existence.

The most valuable thing in life is friendship. Do you agree? Discuss.


Friendship is most valuable thing in our life because friendship is one of the most basic
components in life. As the saying goes no man is an island that no one in this world can live
alone without friendship. Friends are very important in our lives. I believe that a friend is like a
twin sister or brother, this is the reason we rely on friends so much and do not stop to think about
life without them. One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be
understood. In my opinion, the three most importance of friendship in our life are being a good
listener, loyalty and a sense of humor.
First of all, when we are depressed, a friend is ready to listen and give us some advices.
They cannot read our mind, but chances are they can usually tell when we are happy, sad,
excited, shocked or upset. A good friend is not only someone we can talk to about your interests,
but is also some who is willing to listen to your opinions and keep all our secrets. We cannot
expect our friend to accept everything we say, but they should respect our right to have our own
ideas. If they are aware that they are doing something that annoys us, they will try to change their
ways or at least talk to us about it. They are the people with whom everything can be discussed.
Whenever you look back in your life, you will realize they are the one with whom you have
shared the best and the worst.
On the other hand, one of the basic needs of people is to know that we are not alone. One
of the things that hold friendship together is loyalty. This is why it is such an important in
friendship in general because it is the glue that binds people together. A loyal friend is always
there when we need them. A friend supports us in times of trouble. However, just spending time
with someone is not all there is to friendship. Moreover, good relationships are based on good
communication with each other. We have to talk about the importance of valuing the friendship
that we have already built while still being able to establish new friendship.
Besides that, being a good friend is not always easy. Friends need a sense of humor! If we
cannot share a common joke or look at the humor of situation in a similar fashion, we probably
wont be able to enjoy someones company or create a close bond with that person. In my
opinion, being able to laugh at the same things brings friends closer together. As the saying goes
If fate doesnt make you laugh, you just dont get the joke. A good sense of humor is important
characteristic that a person should have in friendship in life. Moreover, who does not admire
those who make others laughing out loud? If we can amuse our friends, they will always be
delighted to spend their time with you which are a personal achievement. Communication with
others also will be a lot more fluent. We become more attractive to colleagues and friends.
In a nutshell, I do believe friendship is the most valuable thing in life. If we have found
someone who is able to share lifes ups and downs with us, loyal and understanding, then we
have truly found a soul mate and a good friend. Friendship is undoubtedly a heavenly thing. Life
is colourless and slow without a friend. Though real friends are not easy to find, a real friendship
with a good person is a precious gift that could be great supports for lifetime.

In this globalization era in which people only chasing of wealth, power and
reputation ,friendship is utmost important to us . Friendship is a feeling of
love,sharing and caring . Furthermore , it is a feeling of comfort and
emotional safety with the person.Sometimes, the person may tends to
sacrificing themselves to help you is what's called friendship.Hence,without
this valuable thing in our lives , we would hardly survive in this treacherous,
fraudulent and crafty world .Therefore , in my perspective of view i think that
friendship is the most valuable thing in life.
When we still a child we are mostly self-oriented .Hence, we seldom will
tend to give our toys or games consoles to other people but only exception
while they really cherish you as their true friends instead just merely their
peers. And after that when we grow up move to the adolescent stage we
sometimes may reject or exclude by our peer group but we do also will
encounter some friends who sharing the same thoughts,same interest and
same dreams. Friendship is a ties of fighting and competing each other but
at the end it would be end by laughing ,hugging and crying . This kind of true
friendship is priceless and you will never own it by money .
Moreover, they will always willing to lend you a hand or a ear whenever
and wherever you need. Your inexpressible sadness and pain they will always
listen carefully and be your side .Some they even went to the extent to make
some joke in order to cheer you up .Some they may use their experience to
give you some advice and counsel .
Friendship is important in our lives . But due to the financial problem ,
many people are compelled to do something which against their conscience
and betray their friends . We can always found this scene in the television
drama in which their good friends back stab the main character as a result of
greed. However, i strongly believe that if we can think rationally and tolerate
the reek of money , resist the temptation of money,it would never happen at
all . Besides , if it is the destine fate that god make it the accident happen
and result our friends betray us ,we should always believe and do not forget
this wonderful valuable thing and always remain vivid in mind .
As a conclusion, friendship is the most valuable thing in life . But we do
have to make a good choice on choosing friends and do have to give up on
destined fate.

Is friendship the most valuable thing in life?


In this era of globalization, people are busy chasing for material wealth,leaving behind
many valuable things. It is undeniable that our society is becoming more
materialistic.For most of us,money is the most important thing on earth.However, we
have forgotten that there are certain things which money could not buy.To name a
few,friendship,family,love and health.But which is the most valuable thing in our life?In
my opinion,friendship is what I will cherish the most.
Admittedly,depression had become a big menace in our society.People start to concern
about this issue and it has surely become a hot topic nowadays.Mass media has been
trying hard to give solutions to the public,hoping to reduce the impact of
depression,such as suicides.However,people are becoming more individualistic
nowadays.We are selfish and only mind their own business.Worse off,we no longer see
the value of a true friendship. Instead,we love to compete among each other,either to
get a higher position in class or in a company.More disheartening is, some even set
friends up just to achieve success. This phenomenon certainly do not help those who
are suffered from depression They have no where to seek for help as they hardly find a
friend they could trust to talk to.As we all know,the cost of getting professional help is
rather pricey and not everyone can afford it.Therefore,I believe that nothing is more
important than we,as a part of the society,change our mindset and see the importance
of a true friendship, namely the most valuable things in life.
A friend is a listener,a counselor, a supporter and the list is endless.A friend is also
someone we can trust.The reason I am of the opinion that friendship is the most
valuable thing in life is a friend is always be there for us and is always ready to give us a
helping hand.For instances,a friend can help to take care of our homes and pets while
we are on vacation.When we are depressed,a friend is also ready to listen and give us
advice.The value of friendship is also seen in the business.There are many
businessmen and entrepreneur that always highlight the importance of friendship in
their life.They shared their experience,which their friends offered them modal to start
their business and promoted their business.Those who are working in the insurance
sector also. One of the qualities to success in this field is having a wide social circle.In
short,I believe that friendship is really the most important and valuable thing in life.
However,I could not deny the fact that family is also one valuable thing in life.Whenever
we met a problem,the first one we'll think of is our family.It is always true that family will
never betray us and is able to forgive our every mistakes.We grew up with our family

members and therefore,the strong bonding causes them to be the one that understand
us the most and will give us suitable advice to make a decision.Many successful figures
show that they cherish their family and always try their best to spend some precious
time with family.Many good qualities we possess now, too,were inculcated since we're
young by our dear parents.The undivided love from our family makes it one valuable
thing to cherish in our life.
There are also many things to cherish in life.To name a few,knowledge is also valuable
because with a wide knowledge,others will not look down upon us.Our own reputation
and image can be increased with vast knowledge we gained in our life. Health, too, is
what we should cherish in our life.Without a healthy body,we will not be able to enjoy
our life.To summary,there are too many valuable things to be cherish in our life besides
friendship.
To conclude,we should not take a true friendship for granted.Instead,it is imperative for
us to put as much effort as we could to conserve the value of a friendship,which is the
most valuable thing in our life, as it brings us immense benefit.

WE SHOULD VALUE OUR HEALTH
We will tend to influence with the negative behaviours.

It is true that no man is an island meaning that no one in this world can live alone
without friendship. That person would be very socially challenged as he or she
would miss the camaraderie and life experiences that come with friendship.
However, I completely disagree with the statement that the most valuable thing in
life is friendship as there are certainly more important and priceless things in life
besides this. In this essay, I will outline how life itself is more valuable than
friendship, and elaborate on why family and the individuals principles in life are
ranked higher.
First and foremost, before one can enjoy the beauty of friendship, one must surely
value life itself or in other words, we should value our health. This is because, the
quality of our life is the single most important criteria in life if we are to live a
meaningful and wholesome life. Moreover, without good health, we will be hard
pressed to do even the simplest of tasks like feed ourselves or relieve ourselves
without the help of doctors, nurses and caregivers. For example, if we are
paralysed, lost our sight, hearing or ability to speak or even a simple case of a fever
or allergic reactions, then the quality of our life is greatly reduced and no amount of
friendship can make us healthy again. Therefore, while friends can stand by us in
our time of need, pristine health is still the most valuable asset in our lives.
Secondly, we are no one without our family as indeed blood is thicker than water.
This means that however you analyse it, friendships will almost always play second
fiddle because family always comes first. Furthermore, if we do not value our family
above others, then there must be a problem among the family members that has
caused their relationship to be strained. For instance, people tend to turn away from
family if the family member(s) themselves are the ones to cause them to react
negatively such as divorced parents, abusive parents or siblings and so on. Thus,
when people consider friendship to be the most valuable thing in life, more often
than not they may come from a troubled household.
Last but not least, a persons principles in life is by far more valuable than
friendship alone. This is due to the fact that each person needs to have a code of
ethics, quite often prescribed by their individual religions. In addition, this code will
guide each person to live their lives according to the good and right principles. Take
for example, if an individual has set his principles to do good, then no amount of
friendship especially negative influence from friends, can shake his hold on his

principles and cause him to commit undesirable deeds like smoking, stealing,
raping, murdering and others. Hence, if a person values friendship so much to the
point where he is willing to break his principles, then he has done a serious misdeed
against himself and will most likely regret his actions later in life.
In short, friendship is the rainbow of life as it colours our horizons with invaluable
experiences but without good health, a supportive family and strong principles, life
becomes empty and meaningless. In my opinion, it is beyond a shadow of a doubt
that I still firmly believe that friendship is not the most valuable thing in life. Our
government can encourage people to prioritise health, family and principles in life
by organising awareness campaigns especially in primary schools where the
younger generation should learn about priorities in life because they are the leaders
of tomorrow.

" The most valuable thing in life is friendship". Do you agree?


Friendship is one of the most basic component in life. In life, friendship is the most
valuable thing. One may agree to this statement while others may not. In this piece
of essay, I will discuss the importance of friendship and the drawback of friendship.
What are friends for, you may ask. Besides family members, I am bold to say friends
are the second closest people around us. And this brings to my first point that is
friends are able to provide a comfort zone around us. At hard times or at the brink
of bursting out, they are the one who stand by us, comfort us and lend a helping
hand to us. We feel more comfortable sharing our problem with them as they are
great listeners too. They treasure us as much as how we treasure them as
trustworthy friends. We share and care for each other. We laugh, cry and joke
together. And that is why friendship balances us spiritually, emotionally and
physically.
Let us turn to another perspective point of view - the drawback. The famous
psychologist, Abraham Maslow once deduced friendship will cultivate peer
pressure.We tend to assimilate ourselves with our friends because friends play a
greater role in part and parcel of life. However, friendship will bring a set of
drawbacks when you mingle with the wrong friend. It decays our moral value
causing us to be dehumanizing and inhospitable to others. A child who mingles with
the wrong people, say, a drug dealer. This, of course, will definitely cause the
growth and development of the child to be slanted away. And hence, this is the time
when parents come to the situation to educate children on choosing friends wisely.
Now let us all look into this matter in a very rational way. Is friendship the most
valuable thing in life? Oxygen is valuable. Food and shelter are valuable. Family

bonding is valuable too. One may say nothing is valuable and neither do they
outweigh each other. I have faith in saying that everything is equally valuable
whether in terms of human relationship or materials around us.
In retrospect, friendship does bring us the attention with its importance value but
also carries the capacity with its set of drawbacks. It really depends on how we view
the key word 'valuable'. It also depends on how we relate friendship in our life. And
with this, I rest my case.
An unsatisfied essay. But considering the time factor which is less than 30 minutes
for this (coz' I spent too much time for the stoopid table chart), I think I can pat my
head for this piece of simple essay I guess. =(

The Importance of Friendship

It is as easy as ABC when it comes to find and make friend; or perhaps, friends
for those who are diligently-social. Additionally and particularly, despite of the
presence of various social networks these days, finding friends is just in our hands
or to be exact on our fingertips. According to Oxford Advanced Learners Dictionary,
friendship is a relationship between friends; the feeling or relationship that friends
have; the state of being friends. Yet, so little people know of how important and
valuable friendship is.

First and foremost, a friendship blooms when there are sharing of emotions and
feelings. Either you happy or sad, frightened or brave, you can express all those
kind of feelings to your friends as they might listen to you heartily or with
concerned. Real friends usually will laugh upon the jokes youve made, cries for your
mournful stories, support you, motivate you, advice you and so on. For an easy
example, when theres been death of any relative of yours, you urge to tell
someone to share your grief and you might badly want to be hugged and comfort at
that moment. So, heres when friends is needed. It is proved that the tendency of
depression (which at most cases end up in suicide) are higher for those with no or
less friend and those who often suppressed their feelings all to themselves. So,
speak your mind towards trustworthy friends and sense the internal and emotional
freedom.

Secondly, friendship can considerably assume as a helping hands. When you or


he or she undergoes troubles or difficulties, a sincere helps will be it. No hesitation
occurred when helping in friendship compared to giving helps to people you dont
fairly knows. If you are having a pet, for example, but in the same time, needed to
go abroad for quite a while, you can surely ask a friend of yours to look after it, and
its relieving to leave something you love behind with the people you trust. Or
maybe for other example, you could ask for your friend to buy medicine and to take
care of you if you are sick, and of course, you will absolutely do the same if your
friends are having situations too. But, be sure to not be counted as a type of friend
who likes taking-advantages.

Thirdly, a friend can be your critics. There are types of friends whom may
concern of appearances, attitudes, etc. You, yourself might not realize whether your
shoes are untied or, probably your jeans are unzipped. Do not have high
expectation for people that you barely knows to bash and ashamed you. Plus,
friends can criticized your outwear so it is suitable for certain occasion, and can
trend you to be more fashion-alert. If you are having bad habits like sleep walking
for example, and you by any chance did not know about it, thats where your friends
can fix you. Or perhaps, there are some attitudes that most of people you know
dont like about you, your friends can criticize and by that, makes you realize and
change. Like most of people think that you are bad-breath for example, by having
friends to criticize you, you can make some changes and be liked more.

Last but not least, friendship can change you. It is crucial to be picky when
choosing friends because if we have uncivilized friends, we might likely turns out
like them. But of course, we can change them to be more morale and civicconcerned. All that depends on ones willingness and faith, and especially one that
can stand and maintained own principles. Vice versa when it happened to be that
you are the one with negative attitudes and for some reasons, befriend with those
who are civilized etc. (with good attitudes), steadily without you even realized, you
will followed the rhythm of the good-morale friends. There are so many illicit and illmannered cases nowadays, especially involving teenagers, and mainly when asked
of the reasons for such unpleasant actions, theyll blamed their tendencies to follow
their uncivilized friends or they were challenged by them. So, the types of friends
can change you and it is advisable to find good friends so you will change to be
good or even better.

In a nutshell, the importance of friendship can only be valued by those who


have friends. Treat and appreciate them nicely as they are one of your big families.
No bills can value the price of a friendship. The more friends you have, the more
youll be happy. Be sincere of giving anything or any kind cause you might as well
received. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
