Dear friends/Friends,

This is an interesting article telling us what a Friend is 
supposed to be. Please spare a few minutes to read this article n 
after that, ask yourself how many Friends do u actually have.

Sit back n think. Do u have friends now, sharing time with u 
everyday, n u think they r the good Friends? Do u have friends 
that leave u when u need help? Do u have friends that come to u 
only when they need help, n after that, seldom talk again? Do u 
at present, think that they r your Friends? Do u have friends who 
join u only when they cannot find (what they think) their Friends?

Pls read this n have a good thought. Maybe after this, u will be 
like the guy in the last article ""If lucky ... ...only one have 
"I"." n don't be surprised.

Enjoy.

 "You have very few friends in life, and those who say they're your
 friends--many of them are not your friends." Mayor Daley in an interview
 quoted. There are friends with a little "f" and friends with a big "F."
 The first is a large group with sloppy admission standards, the other an
 elite, time-tested crew.

 W H A T ' S  T H E  D I F F E R E N C E ?

 A little "f" friend: identifies themselves when they call.
 A big "F" Friend: doesn't have to.

 A little "f" friend: opens a conversation with a full news bulletin on
 their life.
 A big "F" Friend: says, "What's new with you?"

 A little "f" friend: thinks the problems you whine about are recent.
 A big "F" Friend: says, "You've been whining about the same thing for 14
 years. Get off your duff and do something about it."

 A little "f" friend: has never seen you cry.
 A big "F" Friend: has shoulders soggy from your tears.

 A little "f" friend: knows almost nothing about your family.
 A big "F" Friend: knows the medical history, dietary habits and marital
 troubles of everyone on your tree.

 A little "f" friend: calls you at 10 p.m. just to chat.
 A big "F" Friend: knows you hate to be called after 9 p.m.

 A little "f" friend: wonders about your romantic history.
 A big "F" Friend: could blackmail you with it.

 A little "f" friend: when visiting, they act like a guest.
 A big "F" Friend: when visiting, they open your refigerator, put they're
 feet on the sofa, talk back to your spouse and reprimand your children.

 A little "f" friend: thinks the friendship is over when you argue.
 A big "F" Friend: knows that a friendship's not a friendship until you've
 had a fight.

 How many friends?

 An old man turned to me and asked "How many friends have you?"
 Why 10 or 20 friends have I, And named off just a few
 He rose quite slow with effort
 And sadly shook his head
 "A lucky child you are
 To have so many friends," he said,
 But think of what you're saying
 There is so much you do not know
 A friend is just not someone
 To whom you say "Hello"

 A friend has a tender shoulder
 On which to softly cry
 A well to pour your troubles down
 And raise your spirits high

 A friend is a hand to pull you up
 From darkness and despair...
 When all your other "so called" friends
 Have helped to put you there

 A true friend is an ally
 Who can't be moved or bought
 A voice to keep your name alive
 When others have forgot

 But most of all a friend is a heart
 A strong and sturdy wall
 For from the hearts of friends
 There comes the greatest love of all!!!

 So think of what I've spoken
 For every word is true
 And answer once again my child
 How many friends have you??

 And then he stood and faced me
 Awaiting my reply
 Softly I answered
 "If lucky ... ...
 only one have "I"
