Human beings are social entities. In any social context there are forces to help somebody in life or to create barriers for him/her. Friends represents those forces to help in moments of need. Friendship is based on emotional and spiritual knowledge and integrates mostly emotional and spiritual intelligence. Friendship is different than the attitude service vs. service, which is based on rational intelligence and the idea to expect a reward. In our business environment people pay attention mostly to rational intelligence and ignore emotional and spiritual one. However, in any decision making spiritual values are essential and emotions may support or not that process. To develop the capability of making friends gives one more believe in his/her own power and offer an important emotional support in difficult times. Friendship is wonderful and a sustainable feeling if developed on solid cultural values and trust.

It depends on the characters of the person you are intending to make friendship with. Most of the time, many of us don't even understand who we are, our spiritualism, contents of our characters. Even all of us were aware of who we are, our aspiration, our purpose, our dreams and goals, then no matter the choice we make based on friendship will not only benefit us but also radiate energy on our friends.

I would add to the statement and would say "Ability to make friends and maintain friendship thereon make person glide instead of stumbling through life".

Friendship keeps us more lively and thus I endorse the statement.

There are 4 types of cultures according to Garvin (fragmented, interactive, communal and mercenary). My preference is for an interactive one as it implies that you do not need to be friends or think alike in order to interact. In fact, you can learn more from those different from you than those similar to you. Easier does not mean better. Meliha

Life has its ups and downs but being able to make friends makes it happier. No-one glides through, life can be tough, but it can be happy.

I would like to believe that once one is defined as a friend it becomes clear what nature of person one is to you.

Friends constitute your social network and it is this social network which gives you social capital. Throughout the journey of life there are uphills and downhills. When life is facing the uphill and it seems you cannot go over with it friends come into play and they provide you with moral support that carries the day for you.

"Ability to make friends make person glide instead of stumbling through life".

Therefore, I agree with this statement.

How ability to make friends matters in today's busy life style?

Today's life is very demanding and one may be required to be in many different places at the same time. This implies that there are issues that will require your attention in many different places at the same time. In such circumstances it is those who have networks of friends who will be able to carry the day.

I think the ability to make friends is indespensable in today's world.

To be a friend is also essential. Kerre
