You get what you give

We live in a hectic world and people tend to pay more attention to virtual friends than to real time friends. Whatever you choose, it is important to network and have friends to share your life with. Never underestimate the importance of good friends. What makes you happy in life, is feeling good about yourself and loving yourself for the person you are. Your friends can be your mirror and show you your good characteristics and the ones you might improve a little. 

Some people say they have no friends. Friendship means hard work. It means investing in the other, without having the feeling of it being a chore. Don't invest in friends that aren't worth it. If it feels like an obligation, it is probably not a good friendship to you. And remember: you get what you give. 

A friend once told me, that it's easy to criticize others. But what we criticize the most in others, is mainly what we despise the most in ourselves.. Think about it, the next time you badmouth someone. Maybe you need to evaluate yourself..
