Don’t just “use” your friends, be “useful” to them as well – Femi Adediran, November 2021.


Our biggest blessings are our friends and our biggest curse can be our friends.

Friends are of great influence in our lives. It is called friendship be because with friends you are on a ship. Every “friend-ship” can only take you in a particular direction. It either you are going down south or you are going up North.

Friends are the reasons we smile and friends can be the reason we cry.

When we expect so much from our friends, we are most likely to be disappointed. It is better to hold yourself to a high standard than to hold your friends up to high heaven.

One of the most unique characteristics of friends is that every friend has the potential to transform. Friends have the potential to transform from being a friend to becoming an enemy. A friend today could be an enemy tomorrow. Judas Iscariot is a good example.

Stop treating your friends like angels. They are humans with red blood in their veins and have a 100% propensity to fall and fail.Understanding Friendship

Your friends cant be “everything” to you and your friends can’t help you with everything. The earlier you realize this, the more enjoyable your relationship with your friends will be

Don’t just be in friendship to get, be there to give. Be an asset in a relationship and not just a liability. This is how to earn respect from your friend

The beauty of Great friendship is in that we can be “naked” in the presence of our friend and not be ashamed!

If you think you do not have friends, be the friend you are looking for, after all “he that must have friends must show himself friendly” so says the Holy Writ.

Don’t just “use” your friends, be “useful” to them as well.

If you have friends you can laugh and cry with, you are truly blessed

We are most vulnerable with our friends. It is the highest level of exposure in battle even without weapons

A true friend will tell you the “Bitter truth” no matter what, not because he wants to hurt you but simply because he does not want to lose his friend to “sweet lies”

It is good to have friends across the board. It gives you the freedom of expression at every level of life and living and the freedom to experience life in its fullness

Every man you meet is capable of being a friend or an enemy. Who you eventually meet is a function of who you show yourself to be. We can only attract our own kind.

If you want to get the best out of your children, be their friend. To get the best out of your spouse, be his/her friend.

We must find a way to add and increase our values as friends otherwise we are just wasting our time.

Understanding FriendshipFriendship is not about two people who understand each other, it’s about two people who chose to “remain stuck” together in spite of their misunderstandings

Friends may be able to overcome every other sin but the “sin of Gossip” is nearly impossible to overcome. Gossip is in every “friendship DNA”

Friends are supposed to fight and win together. If your friends lose, it is to your shame and if your friends win, it is to your honor
