Friendships = Quality over Quantity

There are good people out there. We need to find them. But this is hard. Any relationships starts by getting to know each other and it may take a long time to find out if he or she is the good type or the bad type. I want to be friendly and have many friends. But my classmate said, ''quality over quantity.'' That is true. It needs some consideration. But all is up to you. You make your own decision. So what I can say here is, I will continue to be friendly, and see who's the quality one that is out there. Those who is just that someone will remain like that, an acquaintance, someone unimportant. But quality friends, we need to find em and keep em. Because there are hard to find. And the quality ones are the ones that matches the proverb ''a friend in need is a friend indeed.'' We're gonna need these quality people in life. :)

So you build your trust in accordance to how someone is, their actions, words, kindness, their honesty, their loyalty and the way they are to you and how they treat you. When you are out with friends at a restaurant, take a good look and observe, if they are rude to the waiter or waitress, or if they are rude to any other person, it makes you think and question, will they be like that toward me? Will they burst at me like that someday? Actions do speak a lot louder than words and then words and action play hand in hand with each other.

 The importance of great friends. You must have few friends that you can truely connect with and rely on. These would be the trustworthy people you have known for a long time. These friends will be there for you in tough times. They will do you favors without expecting anything in back. They should be able to make laugh and cheer you up. And no matter how famous or rich a person is, everybody needs few such friends. Even if you have one such friend, its better than having 1000 friends who you can't even rely on.
How to make great friends. The only way to do that is devoting time and effort into each others' lives. You should go see your friends at least once a week or so. Have a beer or watch movie with them. Don't hesitate in giving or helping friends without expecting anything back. If they are really your good friends they will return you the favor in one way or the other. If you can't see them regularly you should at least check what's going on in their life and share your opinion with them.
In reality it is very hard to find truly great friends. So if you find some don't take them for granted.
