It has been said that, “A friend is somebody who is there for you when she'd rather be somewhere else and have faith in you when you have stopped having faith in yourself”. The most beautiful thing that has ever happened to me is the opportunity to be bounded by my indisputable and genuine friend whose persona attract my dignified persona. Our friendship, which I cherish so much, is one of the most consecrated things in our lives.

 I can not estimate the worth of our friendship, because what we share is so extraordinary and exquisite. When I am down, my friend is always there for me and I look up to her for support in every way.

 A real and genuine friend formulate your self-confidence and does not destroy it, thereby leading to a great achievement and success in you.

 Friendship is not something you ignore for sometime, you should dedicate a lot of time to the nurturing of true friendships. Friendship is about giving and taking, you should have something to offer so as to expect something in return.

 Without a friend, you will be lonely and miserable because there is an ointment in friendship that heals depression and loneliness.

 There are fair-weather friends and they are low-priced friends, they are not real because of their selfish interests, they come and go. A true friend sticks with you when the going gets tough, they are always wish you well and encourage you to move on and achieve something great in your life. They kind of bring out the best in you.

 A genuine Friendship is known when there is loyalty, trustworthiness, faithfulness, mutual respect, love, honesty and impartiality between you.

 Bogus friends are pretenders, they tend to love you and when the going gets tough, they leave you immediately for you to deal with your problem alone. They are kind of phony, spurious and they mock you when you fall down instead of helping you to stand on your feet again.

 We have so many friends, some are schoolmates, facebook friends ( in general, all “social networked” got friends), classmates, hostel or room mates and business friends or associates, but they are not our genuine friends; they are just our  acquaintances, who stay with you till when their selfish interest has been satisfied or abandon you when your worth has been downtrodden.

 Prove you authenticity to your friend; it is very important so that you can be trusted!
