Carlos and Alice have given up their stressful full-time jobs in IT and telecom sales in San Francisco in California and have moved to a small town in the Pacific Northwest in Washington state. They have opened a small chocolate company there. They now make their own chocolates and sell them in their own café and shop. The business is doing well and has just served its 30,000th customer. Most of their customers are tourists, but they have also started to sell their chocolates online. The unusual thing about their chocolates is that they don't add any sugar because it is sweet enough without it.

An individual has several relationships in their studying and working environment. To me, it is necessary to maintain friendship in daily life. As friends have no age limit. Everyone has friends, some are best friends, and others are friends. Having good friends brings people many advantages. They help us in different aspects of life, whenever we are in trouble or whatever we do. Friend is the one we can freely share opinion, thought, emotion and confidence. One feels better, trustful and comfortable when having a suitable friend. There are a large number of things friends can do together such as: traveling to new lands, going shopping in addition to sharing hobbies. Friendship is priceless and it has to be built on love, trust, caring without any exaggeration, flattery and pretensions. Therefore, a true friendship stands by you through thick and thin and makes you feel not lonely when being in a crowd. Besides, friendship has positive and negative effects in life. If we have good friends, they make us a happier and worthy life. In contrast, they may ruin our career and living if we choose bad friends. Therefore, no matter how often we meet each other, but how much you care and feel for another in good times as well as in bad times. Since famous saying states that: “To live life without the experience of friendship, is life without living”.

Friendship is one of the most precious presents of life. Friendship makes life, sweet and pleasant experience. Friendship is indeed, an asset in life.

Friendship is good and necessary. Man cannot live all alone because he is a social being. He needs someone to share his joys and sorrows. There goes a saying “Friendship increases happiness and diminishes misery by doubling our joy and dividing our grief”.

Friendship can make or break us. It all depends on how we choose our friends. We spent much of our time with them. Their mental outlook, behaviour, attitudes affect us too. Today, many youngsters have become social nuisance mainly due to bad friends. Therefore, we have to choose our friends very carefully. We have to remember the maxim “All that glitters is not gold”. We have to distinguish between fair-weather friends and true friends. True friends remain with us through thick and thin while fair-weather friends are found only during sunny days.

True friendship is a feeling of love, sharing and caring. It is a feeling that someone understands and appreciates you as you are, without any flattery. It gives a feeling that you are ‘wanted’ and that you are ‘someone’ and not a faceless being in the crowd. True friendship knows no boundaries of caste, creed, race and sex.

Good friends are great pillars of life. A person who has true friends in life is lucky enough. It does not matter how often you meet your friends, but how much you care and feel for another in good times as well as in bad times.
