Four types of friends you need in your life

Do you know that people will die early if they have no friends during their lifetime? The surveyshows if you want to live longer and more happily, you need to have some friends who can share your sadness and happiness or can be helpful when you are in trouble.

The following four types of friends are just what you need to keep the doctor away.

1. A Loyal Best Friend

Everyone needs a friend who will support you in different situations. This kind of friend knowsall of your deepest and darkest secrets, but still loves you all the same.

2. A Friendly Neighbor

These days, a lot of people don’t know their own neighbors. It’s a shame, because some neighbors can be the most helpful people. If you forget to lock the front door when you are on holiday,you can call your neighbors to lock it for you. So it’s wonderful to have nice and helpful neighbors.

3. A Workmate

You’ll find it much easier to chat with someone than eating lunch alone every day. Your workmate doesn’t have to be your best friend. If you two get along well with each other, you can always start going out with them outside of the office.

4. A Friend From a Different Culture

If everyone had a friend from a different culture, the world would be a much better place. Remember that don’t make friends with someone just because they’re from a different culture. Instead, keep your mind open, and if you meet someone from other places, try to learn about their customs, values, and traditions.

If you have such kinds of friends, you will surely live longer and more happily.

Returning a Father’s Love

He was a single father, raising a 5-year-old boy by himself. He often worried about his son growing up without a mother to care for him.

One day, he went away on business, leaving the child alone. He worried about his child all the way, not knowing if he had eaten. But his child always told him not to worry. He ran home as soon as possible after he finished his work.

When he got home, the child was deep asleep. He was tired out. He was about to sleep when he was surprised to find an overturned (翻到的) bowl of noodles under the quilt (被子). He hit his sleeping son angrily, “Why are you so careless, making the quilt dirty? Who will wash it?” It was the first time that he had hit his boy after his wife’s death.

“Sorry, but…” the child explained with tears in his eyes, “This is your supper, Daddy.” In order to let his father eat dinner when he arrived home, the child prepared two bowls of noodles: one for himself, the other for his father. He was afraid that his father’s noodles would get cold, so he placed them under the quilt!

Hearing this, the father felt deeply moved and felt sorry about what he did to his son — he hugged his son tightly without saying a word.
