You Can Count On A Friend

This just a short tribute to friendship. Starting a friendship may take only a brief moment, but it would take a lifetime to sustain it. 

Our friend may be a Coach or Expert with the wisdom and panache to assist us in a particular aspect or aspects of our life. A friend could be a Comrade or Buddy who have similarities with our background and/or situation in life. Then, we have the Casuals or Associates, who are acquaintances and may well turn out to be a potential Coach or Comrade. 

Just as a ship setting sail, it would help to have other ships alongside us on the same journey of life heading for a better tomorrow. The following are some Friendship Nuggets for your munching over with your favourite cuppa be it at Starbucks, Mc Donald's, your favourite cafe or at home.
