Have you ever been walking down a street and you see someone drive passed you in a very nice car? You become instantly jealous of the person. You should not me jealous of him or her at all. He or she might be wealthy and look better than you, but you might have something better than money and nice things, friendship. “A man’s growth is seen in the successive choirs of his friends.” This quote, by Ralph Waldo Emerson, shows what life is really about, making friends.
If someone is rich but has no one to share it with, he isn’t living life to the fullest. With out friends, this man is lonely and boring. If this man were with friends, he would be happier and had a better, fuller life. I poor man who has a lot of friends but little money is having a better life that the rich man. Sure, the rich man has better things, like an expensive things, has no one to share it with. The poor man may have old clothes and not that many luxuries, but he has friends to share things with and to converse with.
What is the better past to take? Risk friendships to get ahead in a career or stay poor and have friends? You don’t want to have too much of one or too much of the other. It is important to have a balance between both or these, to know how to be successful, but not to the point where it makes you all alone.
