It is commonly said that prosperity makes friends and adversity tries them. A friend in need is a friend indeed. He is a great source of strength, inspiration and help.

It is a matter of general experience that as long as one has money and resources, one can have no dearth of friends.

Friends may be true or false. A false friend is he who stays with you in favorable circumstances. He deserts you in the hour of difficulty. He is selfish and faithless. He is a fair-weather friend. He will leave you in the lurch. We should keep such a person at arm’s length. He is not interested in our welfare. He is neither trust-worthy nor dependable.

A true friend stands by you in your weal and woe. He is sincere I his thoughts and honest in his actions. He is truthful and does not make false promises. He is ready to suffer and risk himself for your sake.

A true friend is more than a brother to you. You can tell him the secret of your life and safely confide in him. He wishes you well and delights in your progress and success. You can count on his help any movement. He will never ail you. He will try to share your burden of sorrow and fill your life with interest and joy. He never deceives you. He is faithful to you to the last. Such a friend is a blessing of god
