I feel so taken for granted sometimes.............


Sometimes I wonder, what's the point of treating someone nice when they don't even seem to appreciate it??


I try NOT to take the people around me for granted and really feel thankful for everything that they do for me as I know it won't feel good to receive no appreciation. Maybe you might say that, somethings that we do, we give but don't have to expect any returns. But definitely a simple 'Thank you' or action that shows the person appreciating and aknowledgeing what you did is sweet to us right?



Story time!!!!!!!!!!!



A regards B as his 'best friend'. Best friend whenever he needs money. So every single time when A calls B its definitely because he needs money. Although there is the occasional calling B out to drink or dinner. But end of the night, A will still 'borrow' at least $50 from B. Maybe for pumping petrol, maybe for meals. One thing is, A don't gamble, and he's working a full time job that earns decently also. So why does he always needs money?? Cause he loves going to pubs and know a lot of those vietnam girls, thai girls. And I don't think those girls will be with you because you're handsome or what, everything is about money to them lor. Or maybe he knows how to make money disappear. Anyway, B, being the helpful friend he is, he always try to 'lend' the money to him. But B is not rich leh, and being a normal human being, he also have his difficult times too. So when one day B tells A that he WON'T be able to help A, A flares up and says B is not a good friend. And then, A STOP calling B.



B WAS a nice friend to A just because he helped him whenever he needs. But just because of one incident, A says that B is not a good friend. Well, what do you think of A?




A is right, since B don't want to help him, he should let go of the friendship.



If you're thinking about this, then I guess you're a person without a lot of friends. Very self-centered and selfish. It's not a MUST that someone helps you. And when they do, its not because they owe you but because they're helpful. The whole world doesn't revolves around you, wake up.




By the way, did I mention they were friends for 10 over years????




Its very rare to have good friends around you, and they are like sand, if you don't hold it properly, it'll slip away. So why not just put in more effort into your friendship and start appreciating your friends from today onwards?


Besides your family, true friends will also always be there for you, and accept you no matter how you are. You don't have to put on a false front when you're with them and even if they do criticise you, its always with the best interest.




Treat your friends the way you want them to treat you. Don't take them for granted, and appreciate the things they do for you.
