Speech about Friendship

Friendship

This day is a wonderful one. At this moment, allow me to grab these handful of minutes, as I spill to you the word I kept in my mind for three days of practicing this speech. I want you to close your eyes. Think of your friend. Reminisce the things you did together. How do they value you? And now open your eyes. I'd like you to have this question. How do you value your friend?

Most of us have friends and anyone can have one. We all have different definitions of a friend, but for me a friend can be defined as a companion that is always there. Giving his shoulder to comfort you, helping to resolve your problem and making you smile when they notice that you are sad, a friend that is ready to hear out your ups and downs stories regard to his life.

The value of a friend is priceless; no one can ever buy the effort that they exert to make their friends the happiest persons in the world. It is hard to find a real friend. Sometimes it needs a due process and time to have one. And sometimes, friendships arise from some conflicts that we encounter such as arguments and misunderstanding. But if we could just overcome all of those, a greater bond between friends could be obtained, and a stronger and better friendship would eventually arise. We can make true friend but we can never buy a true and real friend.

Friendship is a give and take relationship. We need to watch each other's back to gain trust and establish such relationship. Friendships are forever, and thus we should value our friends like a precious jewel that could withstand anything that would come to its way. The value of friendship is cannot be described by a single word, instead we should find it within ourselves and be able to grow it by sharing with others. We should let friendship grow even if we are apart, thus communication is always important to feel a presence of care, a care of valuable friendship.

Now let's go back to the question I gave you awhile ago. "How do you value your friend?" That is for you to answer. But for now, before I end my speech, I would like you To reflect on this quotation: "The greatest value of having good friends is not what you get from them, but the better person you become because of them."
