...3. ‘A friend in need is a friend indeed’. Describe how a friend helped you in a difficult time. A friend is someone who always be there for you during thick and thin, who always be our best listener and who will always help us from barking up the wrong tree. Without a friend, ones will feel alone and never know how to socialize with people around him or her. Everyone in this world needs friends as companion in their life. So do I. We can have a lot of friends but to find a true and loyal one is the hardest. I have a best friend and I think she is the best girl I have ever met, El. We were enrolled in the same school since we are 7 years old. We used to be strangers at first but as we were placed in the same class, we get closed to each other. Plus, we are deskmate. She is a kind-hearted person. This pretty Kelantanese girl used to be very down to earth to all people that she met. She lived in a small town, outskirts of Kota Bharu. She was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. Her father works as a pediatric specialist in one of the most well-known hospital in Kelantan. While her mom works as an English lecturer in Universiti Malaysia Kelantan. I was having a very difficult time when I was 15 years old. It was a calm and quiet night when I’m burning the midnight oil because the PMR was just around the corner. The residents around my housing area all asleep. It was only me and my pile of books. The clock on my pink room’s wall shown that the time was almost half past...

...who has true friends in life is lucky enough Friendship makes life thrilling. It makes life sweet and pleasant experience. Friendship is indeed, an asset in life. It can lead us to success or to doom. It all depends on how we choose our friends. True friendship is a feeling of love, sharing and caring.

Man cannot live all alone. He is a social being. He needs someone to share his joys and sorrows.

...WEDNESDAY 23RD SEPTEMBER 2015 MORNING DEVOTION. HINDERANCES TO REVOLUTION IN FRIENDSHIPS AND RELATIONSHIPS PART 1 TODAY'S SCRIPTURE."Friends love through all kinds of weather, and families stick together in all kinds of trouble."(Proverbs 17:17 MSG) Friendship is a powerful force that guarantees success! Failure is an orphan. If you know how to keep friends, you will become a success in whatever you do. Your revolution in life is determined by how good you are at making friends and keeping them. If you have a habit of negatively surprising your friends and those you relate with, you will live a lonely life and even God said it is not good for man to be alone. The first thing that destroys friendship is selfishness. Everyone detests selfish people! Selfishness is evident when all you look out for in a friendship or relationship is what you will gain. Friendships do not last when you are selfish. Being a "fair weather" friend is also wrong. The opening scripture says a friend loves at all times; through thick and thin,in bad,good and rough times. A wise man said "a friend in need is a friend indeed"! Do not turn your back on your friends in their dark hours when they need you most. Just like Judas Iscariot betrayed Jesus, betrayal is one of the worst things one can experience from friends . It is devastating to see people you call your friends turnaround and stab you in the back. It is worse when they divulge your secrets and fight you publicly. Today's Response Ask...

...pattern of me in the beginning stage of the relationship was probably ‘Secure’. I felt secure, safe and comfortable when he was by my side, not physically but when we would whatsapp each other a lot, knowing what each other are doing. I treat ‘knowing what he was doing’ and ‘constantly whatsapping’ as a form of ‘secure base,’ with that secure base I feel comfortable and I would ‘explore’ like hanging out with friends, doing academic stuff etc. Sometimes, like when he played basketball with friends and had to lose contacts with me for a few hours, I would feel anxious, as it was like I lost track of him. I kept looking forward for him to had his game finished and could actually find me or whatsapp me. When he did find me after his game, I would have a feeling of relief and feel comfortable again. According to Davis(2012), a secure attachment pattern is developed due to appropriate, prompt and consistent response by the caregiver. I believe this secure attachment in me was due to the consistent prompt response of my boyfriend towards my needs at most time. He would fulfill my needs most of...

...irony and "the best example in all of American poetry of a wolf in sheep's clothing." Thompson documents the ironic impulse that produced the poem as Frost's "gently teasing" response to his good friend, Edward Thomas, who would in their walks together take Frost down one path and then regret not having taken a better direction. According to Thompson, Frost assumes the mask of his friend, taking his voice and his posture, including the un-Frostian sounding line, "I shall be telling this with a sigh," to poke fun at Thomas's vacillations; Frost ever after, according to Thompson, tried to bring audiences to the ironic point, warning one group, "You have to be careful of that one; it's a tricky poem - very tricky" (Letters Xiv-xv). Thompson's critical evaluation is simply that Frost had, in that particular poem, "carried himself and his ironies too subtly," so that the poem is, in effect, a failure (Letters xv). Yet is it simply that - a too exact parody of a mediocre poetic voice, which becomes among the sentimental masses, ironically, one of the most popularly beloved of Frost's "wise" poems? This is the easiest way to come to terms critically with the popularity of "The Road Not Taken" but it is not, perhaps, the only or best way: in this critical case, the road less traveled may indeed be more productive. For Frost by all accounts was genuinely fond of Thomas. He wrote his only elegy to Thomas and he gives him, in that poem, the highest praise of all from one who would, himself...

...content of the book vary from the degree of level of the students. Aside from this, the past of a student and also curiosity also help them to learn and explore new things. After my elementary graduation, curiosity drove me to wonder about life. There are a lot of questions I formulated in my head like, would the regulations be the same? Would I able to cope with the changes? Would I meet people that can change my outlook towards life? And lastly is my high school life going to be happy? We were all soon to separate but those students who still beg for the support of their friends they must need to stop acting as a parasite and they must learn to stand on their own. To all people who I met in this journey especially to the teachers, friends, and classmates and to those villains I give you all my gratitude. For the last time thank for the knowledge and for the memories you gave me. High school life is indeed the happiest part of a student’s life. I miss those days. That was a very fun-filled childhood Reminiscing the Past many people said that high school is the happiest part of a student’s life. One cannot define high school life without experiencing its four years of thrilling...

...Friends are as important as a family, we cannot live without them. We share our happiness, feelings and problems with them. We need them for companionship, for playing, for enjoyment. Had not been for them we would be very lonely and life would become unbearable. A friend in need is a friend indeed’ is an apt adage. A true friend is the one, who is by your side when you are in trouble, if your friend changes sides when you are in trouble then he can not be a good friend. I have many friends and I enjoy a lot with them. We go out together, we play together and at times we also study together, but from amongst all of them, the friend I like the most is Ratul, as a matter of fact, whatever happens, I can always trust him. I am sure that he will never talk behind my back and if some one speaks against me, he will be the first one to defend me. Not only this, if I have done any thing wrong he is the first one to say so, on my face. He is a philosopher and guide to me. He is always ready to share his things with me. There is a lot of trust between us and we share our intimate secrets with each other without being misunderstood. He is more like a brother than a friend. We are also sure that both of us would keep our secrets confidential. He is good in studies and so whenever I have a problem in my school he helps me. He is the captain of our Football team and because of him we usually win all the matches. He is fast and can dribble the ball in such a way that the opposing...

...first time but after that she can use the profit from the previous game to supply funds for the food in the future. A) Evaluate the prospect of borrowing money before the first game. If Julia borrowed money it would increase her profit. The dual value from the linear programming model is $1.50 for each additional model. From the table, you can see that the upper limit is $1,658.88. This translates that she should only borrow $158.88, which is formulated by $1,658.88- $1,500.00 (her original investment money). Her original profit was $2,250. If you add her additional profit of $238.32 to her original profit, then there will be a new total profit of $2,488.32. B) Evaluate the prospect of paying a friend $100/ game to assist. Julia should indeed hire her friend for $100 per game. That would be a lot of work for one person in a very limited time frame. This would be a smart business move, especially if you take into consideration that if she actually borrowed the additional funds from Part B, she would have more than enough money to cover her friend’s salary. Julia would probably be unable to do the job without extra help. C) Analyze the impact of uncertainties on the model. Uncertainties are a part of normal life. When you are talking about outdoor sporting events one of the biggest factors that you should...

...My Best Friend My best friend , Nesa is of mixed percentage – half Chinese and half Indian . She is a good girl. I got to know her when I was six . I remembered how the first time I met her. One day, as usual when I was playing with my playmate-Barbie Doll then the news I received that we are going to have a new neighbor from my mum. As my mum said we are going to have a new neighbour I was the first per son to get excited. This is because, since I was born I had never experienced living with a neighbor.

...In Hiring, a Friend in Need Is a Prospect, Indeed I chose to read the article title, “In Hiring, a Friend in Need Is a Prospect, Indeed” written by Nelson D. Schwartz. This article uncovers a secret that many of the job applicants are not aware of: The best way to get a job is to not file job applications through one of those big job recruiters. Instead, organizations appear to prefer to hire people through internal referrals. Your chances of getting a job offer will increase if an insider can put in some nice words for you. For instance, big companies like Ernst & Young are using more internal referrals to find new hires since it could save time and money. Also other firms like Deloitte and Enterprise Rent-A-Car are increasingly giving prizes in addition to giving cash for employees who refer new hires. Companies are using the referral programs more often now since it carries some important benefits for them because they can avoid big payouts to recruiters and referred employees are less likely to quit. Even though the referral programs are a valuable tool to companies but they “have to watch the ultimate long term result in terms of diversity and skills.” Otherwise, they’re going to get the same people like they have already because employees tend to refer people like themselves. As that has said as companies expand their referral programs they have to make sure that the proportion of employee’s recommendation doesn’t get too high. This articles relates to the textbook...

...Rouge, best friend Percival from the first grade at St. Mary’s School, as well as 491 other assorted friends, relatives, and acquaintances—all at once, instantaneously, no trips to the post office necessary. With the click of a button we can see what Percival’s cute little daughter had for breakfast this morning, or what Annabelle’s pet dog wore to last year’s Halloween party. But like all benefits in life, Facebook comes with its psychological costs—many of them invisible. Indeed, a recent study found that heavy Facebook users experience decreases in subjective well-being over time (Kross et al., 2013). Below we review some research suggesting 7 ways that Facebook may be hurting you. It can make you feel like your life isn’t as cool as everyone else’s. Social psychologist Leon Festinger observed that people are naturally inclined to engage in social comparison. To answer a question like “Am I doing better or worse than average?” you need to check out other people like you. Facebook is a quick, effortless way to engage in social comparison, but with even one glance through your News Feed you might see pictures of your friends enjoying a mouth-watering dinner at Chez Panisse, or perhaps winning the Professor of the Year award at Yale University. Indeed, a study by Chou and Edge (2012) found that chronic Facebook users tend to think that other people lead happier lives than their own, leading them to feel that life is less fair. It can lead you to envy your friends’ successes...

...The qualities of a good friend There is a saying that goes "A friend in need is a friend indeed". This proverb means that true friends are those who will always be there for us and will stick by us through thick and thin. I believe that every human being in this world MUST have friends in order to lead a happy life. In other words, nobody can survive in this complex world as a loner or a hermit crab. We have all kinds of friends, but good friends are the ones whom we always depend on and we cherish the happy moments we spend together. So, what are the qualities that we should look for in a person to be considered a good friend? In my opinion, a good friend is a loyal and truthful person. He will not speak badly of us behind our backs or back-stab us. He will always support us no matter what happens. He is not a traitor and definitely not malicious. Good friends are also truthful to each other. There will not be any lies between good friends. This quality is extremely important as lies can lead to trouble and strain a close relationship. A good friend cares for us and is concerned for our welfare. A good friend always hopes for the best for us. He is the one with whom we will be able to share our joys and sorrows. A good friend provides a shoulder for us to cry on whenever we are depressed. For instance, we always feel better after pouring out our woes and worries to our good friend. That should be the role a good friend plays - lend a helping hand and help us get on with...
