Today's Bit of Wisdom



“A friend to all is a friend to none”

Aristotle



         I am sure you can all relate this quote. If you have lived long enough to read this post you definitely have met people who happen to be on good terms with everybody and just happen to like everyone. I am not talking about the friendly people around you but those who decide to do everything possible to please everyone around them instead of taking a stand on things that they do not agree with. They are willing to do anything to win the friendship of others for personal gain. Typically these are the people who will desert you when they realize they have nothing to personally gain from maintaining their friendship with you.

        The next time you step out take time to analyze the kind of friends you have and stick with those who are there to help you when you are in need and not those who shower you with praises when you are doing well, in-order to gain your favor. Your true friends are those who are honest with you and tell you how they truly feel about your decisions, they also are the ones who are there to encourage you during tough times.

Remember, “A friend to all is a friend to none”.
