PART 1.
Today, we're focusing on ...
What impact friends have on our life? (in a positive way)
Have you ever been touched deeply by your friend? Have you ever felt that without them, you couldn't have done better? Have you ever wanted to help them and treat them like they did to you?
Congrats! That is an example of a good friendship!
To me, I have definitely been impacted positively by my friends.
To my other members, they too have been impacted.
Friends can impact you in terms of: Academic achievements.
Hardworking friends whom we are sure to have amongst us will spur us to do well in our studies. This is because in Singapore society, where we have lots of “Kiasu Singaporeans”, we have many people who are afraid of losing out to others in terms of academic achievements, skills and relationships with our superiors. This fear of losing out to others turns out to be an inspiration to others to want to do well too. Although this is a good way to encourage others to be hardworking, it at the same time, also adds additional and unnecessary stress to those “kiasu” people. Thus, an *adequate amount of competitiveness* should be just fine.
Good and hardworking friends usually will impact and encourage us to do well. They will not look down on us when we do badly, but will help and encourage us to do better the next time. This will in turn help us mentally as it encourages us to do better. Thus, we will get better grades as well as gain maturity.
[ *It is important not to have overwhelming competitiveness because you might start to envy your friend(if they do well) and it will affect your friendship. It's like turning a sweet red apple to a green sour apple]
Friends can impact you in terms of: moulding your character
When your friend does something nice to you and you like it, you too, in time will be affected by your friend's affection and start making your friend happy. Your friend can sometimes even change your cold personality to a cheery and personality full of affection (because they themselves are cheery and affectionate!) , it is just a matter of time before you are being moulded by your friend (:
There are examples like:
Your friend getting involved in community service activities to help others and through time, you start giving thought to what your friend is doing.
When we see our peers involved in these activities, naturally we would want to join in too!
