A FRIEND IN NEED IS A FRIEND INDEED 1 The word 'friendship' has become very cheap in the modern times.

We call everybody who comes into our contact our friend. Mere acquaintances or those with whom we work because of our posting at a certain place cannot be called friends. Even our neighbors and those whom we frequently meet in our social dealings are not necessarily our friends. Friendship is something noble and great but very rare. A good friend is one of man's most precious possessions. It is also true that without friends man's life is dry, dull and dreary. The company of friend's makes life happy, interesting and worth living. A true friend understands us, appreciates our circumstances and problems and shares our joys and misfortunes. He is our counsellor and guide. He is a source of joy, strength and courage. He increases our pleasure in prosperity and lessens our sorrows and sufferings in adversity. When we are rich, prosperous and powerful, a flock of people gather around us and claim to be our sincere friends. The real worth of these people is known when we fall on bad days. Fair-weather friends leave us in the lurch. Those who stand by us through thick and thin are our real friends. A friend in need is a friend indeed. 2 Sometimes we move with our friends so intimately that the intimacy lasts for a long time. There are lifelong friends who have a bearing on our personalities, and two friends, who are thick as thieves, do influence each other, and the two grow together. The relationship with a friend has not been properly realized by us. Some do not believe in nurturing friendship as they are by nature aloof and reserved. This nature is not desirable, for, it indicates the lack of sociability. Sometimes parents or teachers may not be able to enforce a point on their child and a friend may come in to help them. I can relate an incident in the life of my relative. In fact he was my cousin. His son was adamant that he would not join the engineering course, but his father insisted that he should join the course as he would have bright professional prospects. Any amount of persuasion by his father did not work. At last his sons friend intervened and spoke to his friend of the importance of his fathers valuable advice. His father was very happy that a known problem was solved satisfactorily. After the engineering course my cousins son is quite well off with a fat pay. His life changed as his friend took interest in him. There is a saying which tells about the importance of good friendship. It is this: Tell me who is your friend and I shall tell you what kind of person you are. Yes, a friend has much to do with the shaping of our character as our parents and teachers. A student should be careful to choose his or her friends. If the friend with whom you are going to establish connection is of bad character slowly but surely you too are affected by him or her. You may have been a polite, soft-spoken student of gentle manners. Your friend may be dominant, may be rough, roguish and given to evil ways. Your friend will take advantage of your innocence, your softness and may trick you, lead you to a wrong path. He may be a drug addict, he may be a smoker, he may drink and observing him you may in the long run become an addict to drugs, you may smoke and drink. You may do all these things without the knowledge of your parents. On coming to know that you have bad habits your parents may feel shocked, your teachers may be displeased with you, your relatives will hate you. A friend who has good habits, who is gentle and well- mannered is an inestimable friend. His good character improves you and in due course you will turn out to be well-mannered and gentle even if you had some bad qualities. A friend who helps you by giving you advice, by helping you to clear your doubts in your lessons, a friend who is intelligent and knowledgeable is indeed an inestimable friend. A friend in need is a friend indeed. A poem says that if you have friendship with a person of bad character you become nameless and formless like the drop of water on a frying pan on the burning oven. The drop of water on a hot frying pan evaporates and disappears. So also a bad friend will spoil your image and you are no longer a good person. Just as good 1

water stinks and becomes black and impure when it mixes with sewage so also a bad friend spoils you and you stink because of your bad qualities. Your fair name is spoilt by your association with a bad friend of the blackest vices. A student should be careful, very, very careful when selecting friends. A good friend will make you shine. 3 A friend in need is a friend indeed is a proverb that stands true always. In our day to day work, we come across so many persons and all of them are not our friends. God does not create friends. We acquire them. How are friends made? Friends have some qualities in common. They are generally of the same age group. Their aptitudes and interest, likes and dislikes are generally common. They may live nearby, may go to the same school or may be doing the same work. Good friends know all about one another. There would be no secrets among them. They love one another better than their relative. There are different kinds of friends. True and faithful friends, casual friends and false or fair-weather friends. A true and faithful friend has certain qualities, which you should also have. It is correctly said that to have a friend you should be one. True friends are like one soul, living in two bodies. They are attached so much to one another. A real friend is one who comes to you, when all others have left. Never a true one flatters you. He may at times frown upon you. A friends frown is said to be better than a foes praise. An old friend is like old wine. He is a stimulating force. An old friend is one, on whom one can always rely. He stands by you, at all times and shares you joys and sorrows. It is an unbroken friendship till the last. In our day to day affairs, we come across so many, who become friends for a purpose. There are also other type of friends, who are casual friends, whom we meet on our travels in buses and the trains. They are friends with whom we exchange so many views. But at the end of the journey, each goes his own way and the casual friendship is also gone. There are fair-weather friends. They are sycophants. They praise you to skies and linger around you as long as you enjoy property and power. When fortune turns against you, they would be nowhere to be seen. Friendship spreads on. Even in you have a thousand friends you can still add one more 4 A man is never without friends. But who is a true friend? It is only during the times of trouble and sadness that the real character of a person comes forth. A person who shares your joys but deserts you when you need his support, is not a true friend. A true friend is always ready with a helping-hand. He himself can suffer to make you happy. He guides you when you are confused, helps whenever trouble knocks you down, shares your agony more than your pleasures, wipes your tears and doubles your joys. He will never leave you alone in the midst of hardship. He is willing to make every sacrifice to see That you are successful. A friend who rescues you from troubled waters passes the acid test of true friendship. 5 Friend in need is friend indeed People say that true friends are those whom we meet in childhood. Children are more open to communication and don't bother about social status of their friends, about money friends have, and a lot of other things that worry adults. The most important thing for children is communication and playing.The help of a friend is the most valuable in life. A friend is a person on whom we may always rely. And in the most difficult moment of our life we turn to friends for love, compassion, and understanding. As one proverb goes "A friend in need is a friend indeed". A person, who is able to support you in difficult moments of your life, is a real friend.Sometimes it is very difficult to find a true friend. And there are people with whom nobody wants to make friends. But it is very painful because people feel lonely without friends.A quarrel with a friend is 2

the worst that may happen. All the time you think about it and can't do anything until everything is ok. You always worry about your friend and if something bad happens with him/her, you try to help. Devotion is one of the greatest qualities. It makes friendship strong. A devoted friend will always help you and will be a support for you in psychological and material way. But it is very complicated to find devoted friend, because it is a trait that doesn't appear at once. But people need time to get this quality.A true friend will always help you to experiment and find the way out and will always help you to make the right choice, a friend will always support you in any your decision. There are a lot of factors that may ruin friendship because it is very fragile and it is necessary to be very careful with it.But you should always remember that a friend can be met everywhere. You may make friends with people while travelling, being in foreign country, going in for sports in gym or swimming pool, and just waiting for a bus.The most important thing is the desire to make friends and when you... [continues] 6 Good friends are a great fortune in life. Having good friends around makes you feel greater and happier than you really are. I think a good friendship is a combination of respecting, helping and valuing each other in a special way. But, most of friendships are proved in bad situations. Unfortunately, a bad situation made me and my friends consider each-other as best friends. It was Friday. I finished my classes at 1.00pm. I went home by bus. I was very tired so I decided to stay home and have some rest. After I ate the lunch that mom prepared for me, I went on the living room. The TV was on and its volume was loud. As I lied in the sofa I felt sleepy. So, I turned the TV off. As my eyes started closing and I was about to sleep, my phone rang. It was my friend Jeton. I knew him many years ago. He invited me for a coffee in Klina. Even though I was very tired I decided to answer him positively. My mom was against this asking me to stay home. After a short arguing with her I let my home and went out on the street to wait for the bus. After 20minutes I was in Klina. Jeton was waiting for me with some other friends in a caf bar called Zebra. It was a good atmosphere over there. We were laughing and kidding with each other. But, it didnt last long. A boy called Petrit came in. He asked Jeton to have a minut with him in person. As their conversation went on in Jetons face I could realize that something was wrong. Jeton came back and sit next to me saying if they want to have problem with us then here we are. We were in trouble. Petrit asked Jeton to stay from a girl and also offended his family. There was no way back and all directions were leading to something we call street fight. Petrit came back again. He went to Jeton and started speaking loudly. When Jeton tried to get up Petrit hit him on his back. The water that was being heated for more than two hours, now just boiled. We were more than 10 friends there.... 7 A friend in need is a friend indeed is a proverb that stands true always. In our day to day work, we come across so many persons and all of them are not our friends. God does not create friends. We acquire them. How are friends made? Friends have some qualities in common.

Even in you have a thousand friends you can still add one more.... [continues] the right use of time The art of using time aright is so to live that we may in our short life do as much g6od work as we can, and neglect no opportunity of improving ourselves intellectually and morally. In this way we may expect to be happy ourselves and make others happy. The rules to be laid down for the proper use of time can best be expressed negatively. They take the form of warnings against the various ways in which we are tempted to waste our time. One of the most important of these rules is that we should avoid unpunctuality. It was wittily said of a certain English Prime Minister that he lost half an hour every morning and ran after it all the day without being able to overtake it. The unpunctual business man who has several appointments to keep in the course of the day, is likely, if he is late for the first appointment, to be late for all the subsequent ones. And his being late for even one appointment may involve great waste of time, as in many cases the punctual man who has come in time will not wait for the late comer, so that both of them lose the time they have taken to come to the meeting place. A fault resembling unpunctuality is procrastination, which has well been called the thief of time. Procrastination is the habit of putting off till tomorrow what we can do today. One great danger of this lies in the uncertainty of the future. By to-morrow circumstances may have changed, and it may be then out of our power to do what we intended. Even though the material circumstances have not changed, yet each to-morrow, when it comes, is converted into to-day, and then there is another to-morrow to which we are likely once more to postpone our neglected duty. The evil of procrastination is an obstacle to moral progress. The way to hell is said to be paved with good intentions, because the good resolutions we make to reform ourselves in the future are so often broken. If we are really determined to cure ourselves of any bad habit, we ought, in the words of the poet Longfellow, to act in the living present, and at once begin to amend our course. Besides these general tendencies resulting in waste of time that we have been considering, we have to be constantly on our guard against special temptations to idle amusements. Many waste a large amount of valuable time in reading sensational novels, which are so exciting that they cannot easily be laid aside. Others spend many hours of the week skimming through the columns of newspapers and reading petty details of personal gossip, that it is impossible and useless to remember. Others exhaust their energies by sitting up, night after night, in hot theatres, from which they return home so late that in the morning they are unfit for their daily work. Others spend too much time in conversation with their friends when they ought to be working. 4

All these ways of passing the time are perfectly harmless if used in moderation as means of refreshing our weary faculties. It is absolutely necessary that we should have intervals of leisure from work, and it is quite possible to go to the other extreme and waste time by unseasonable activity when we ought to be resting, or by attempting work which is useless or beyond our powers. But the opposite fault is far more common. Human beings on the whole are more apt to be idle when they should work, than to work when they require rest. Therefore, those who teach us to make the best use of our time are right in especially insisting upon the danger of spending too much time in our favourite pastimes. 2 Life is small and time is shorter. It makes sense to make the most of every instant and put it to work for you so that you can use your time astutely as well as successfully. While reading stories of winning people, you might have experiential that one thing that all of them seem to have managed well is their time. It is not without a reason that they all showed respect towards their time. It is due to the fact that one who does not know how to manage his time would never have enough time in hand to achieve that entire he wants. Classify to write a time management essay, you must be good at it manually. Your time management essay should point out that learning the skill of effective time-management will put you in a better position to complete your goals and take your capacity to achieve to the next level. The fruit of your hard work will always be directly in proportion to your time management skills. Map your task well. Be submitted your essay on right time otherwise long after day your deceased line is over and also t wouldnt make a very good feeling.

Understand basic element of time management before writing. That will very helps you while writing. The managing your time is practical valued things. So be careful complete writing on exact time. Try to explore your knowledge of topic by including the key elements of your essay. even if that is not your crucial point.

Eventually time management is also about the decisions you make and what and when you make a decision to do or not to do something or make certain choices. Time management is also about trying not to bite of more than you can masticate. This will make sure a better outcome and take your academic, professional as well as social performance to the next level.

AN IDEAL FAMILY for me, an ideal family is compose of a mother, a father and kids, living together, understand each other, helping one another, love and respect each other and most of all, god-fearing.

Every person longs to have the kind of a family that is the ideal for him. When we talk of an ideal family, it means that it is the family that a person views to be perfect. Even in a persons early years in life, admiration of different families starts and thus making one dream of having a family someday that is picture perfect for him. Although there are different forms of family that are being accepted and acknowledged, the choice still depends upon one's perspective. What kind of family then should a person have? There are three main characteristics that I deem to be essential in having an ideal family. First, it must have a traditional style. Second, it must have only two to three children. Third,it must have religion. A traditional family is a functional family in structure. Every member has is own appropriated function according to G. N.dime (n.d.) The father is delegated to find means for the whole familys subsistence. He works and is known to be the bread winner of the family. He will provide the physiologic needs of family and fill the house with love, happiness, security and discipline. He is also the one who can be called the head in reference to problem solving and decision making. On the other hand, the mother has an extraordinary task in the family and that is to take care of the entire household; this means that she attends to the different needs of the family; she will be the one that wakes up early and sleeps late at night and is a role model in the house; she also has the responsibility of inculcating the best values in their children and giving them the best of care. The children have to take their education and help the mother to clean the house and in other basic household tasks. The traditional type of family is considered as an ideal type of family. The children, who are the center of care, love and attention must be instilled with good values because they are the pillars of the family. In this type of family, each has to function well and must do their part to make it an ideal family. The choice of number of children varies with parents; others desire to have one child only, to focus on their care and attention and to securely provide all that they need. However, two or three children are providing to be the ideal one. This is based on practical and economical reasons like cost. Having a small number of children would provide great opportunity for education and experience in life. Giving a child an educational program these days costs big and giving him a perfect life costs even bigger. Having many children could cost them their ability to fulfill physical, emotional and mental needs in economic crises. Having Some children in the family opens opportunities. An ideal is religious because believe in God is the foundation of a strong family and a wonderful home. It comprises a responsible father, loving mother and the obedient children. This means that having God at home is a perfect home for a family in which joy, peace, kindness, gentleness, patience and love overflows according to Sun Myung moon. As Rev. Sun Myung Moon would say, The ideal family is the place of the eternal love of parents, the eternal love of husband and wife, and the eternal love of children centering upon God. Rev. Sun Myung Moon indeed captured the essence of an ideal family, which is beneficial to all because having God means good work (n.d., para.10). God preaches people to be good and not mandated by evil. Society will greatly benefit if all people will have this kind of family. In a structured family, even if the father is working, the mother can take care of the children and has the time to guide and teach them with values. Having only two to three children would entail a great chance in having all the people in a society to have proper education and a comfortable life. Finally, in a family that believes in God, people will surely do away from misconduct and evil deeds because the primary teaching of God is to do good to others. In conclusion, the family that a person should have is the traditional family, having two to three children and believing in God in their lives. This is the best kind of a family; our society will have peace and harmony.
