... Read moreจากประสบการณ์ส่วนตัว การมีมิตรภาพที่ดีไม่ได้หมายความว่าเพื่อนคนนั้นจะต้องเข้ามาแก้ไขปัญหาทุกอย่างในชีวิตเรา แต่สิ่งที่สำคัญคือเพื่อนคนนั้นสามารถเป็นแรงบันดาลใจให้เราอยากเป็นคนที่ดีขึ้นจริงๆ ผมเองมักจะพบว่าความสัมพันธ์ที่มีคุณภาพไม่จำเป็นต้องสมบูรณ์แบบหรือไร้ข้อผิดพลาดใดๆ แต่ถ้าเพื่อนหรือคนรอบข้างช่วยส่งเสริมและสนับสนุนให้เราพัฒนาตนเองอย่างต่อเนื่อง นั่นแหละคือมิตรภาพที่แท้จริง คำคมที่ว่า "คนที่ดีที่สุด ไม่ใช่คนที่เข้ามาทำให้ชีวิตเราสมบูรณ์ แต่เป็นคนที่ทำให้เราอยากเป็นคนที่ดีขึ้น" สะท้อนถึงความจริงที่ว่าความสัมพันธ์ที่ดีคือการเติบโตไปด้วยกัน การได้อยู่ร่วมกับคนที่ช่วยให้เรามองโลกในแง่ดีขึ้นและมีกำลังใจสู้กับอุปสรรคต่างๆ ถือเป็นของขวัญที่ล้ำค่ามาก ดังนั้น การเลือกรักษาความสัมพันธ์กับคนเหล่านี้จึงเป็นปัจจัยสำคัญที่ช่วยเติมเต็มความสุขและความสำเร็จในชีวิตได้เป็นอย่างดี
