“The Most Valuable Thing in Life Is Friendship”. Do You Agree?

In this era of globalization, people are busy chasing for material wealth,leaving behind many valuable things. It is undeniable that our society is becoming more materialistic. For most of us,money is the most important thing on earth. However, we have forgotten that there are certain things which money could not buy. To name a few,friendship,family,love and health. But which is the most valuable thing in our life? In my opinion,friendship is what I will cherish the most. Admittedly,depression had become a big menace in our society. People start to concern about this issue and it has surely become a hot topic nowadays. Mass media has been trying hard to give solutions to the public,hoping to reduce the impact of depression,such as suicides. However,people are becoming more individualistic nowadays. We are selfish and only mind their own business. Worse off,we no longer see the value of a true friendship. Instead,we love to compete among each other,either to get a higher position in class or in a company. More disheartening is, some even set friends up just to achieve success. This phenomenon certainly do not help those who are suffered from depression They have no where to seek for help as they hardly find a friend they could trust to talk to. As we all know,the cost of getting professional help is rather pricey and not everyone can afford it. Therefore,I believe that nothing is more important than we,as a part of the society,change our mindset and see the importance of a true friendship, namely the most valuable things in life. A friend is a listener,a counselor, a supporter and the list is endless. A friend is also someone we can trust. The reason I am of the opinion that friendship is the most valuable thing in life is a friend is always be there for us and is always ready to give us a helping hand. For instances,a friend can help to take care of our homes and pets while we are on vacation. When we are depressed,a friend is also ready to listen and give us advice. The value of friendship is also seen in the business. There are many businessmen and entrepreneur that always highlight the importance of friendship in their life. They shared their experience,which their friends offered them modal to start their business and promoted their business. Those who are working in the insurance sector also. One of the qualities to success in this field is having a wide social circle. In short,I believe that friendship is really the most important and valuable thing in life. However,I could not deny the fact that family is also one valuable thing in life. Whenever we met a problem,the first one we'll think of is our family. It is always true that family will never betray us and is able to forgive our every mistakes. We grew up with our family members and therefore,the strong bonding causes them to be the one that understand us the most and will give us suitable advice to make a decision. Many successful figures show that they cherish their family and always try their best to spend some precious time with family. Many good qualities we possess now, too,were inculcated since we're young by our dear parents. The undivided love from our family makes it one valuable thing to cherish in our life. There are also many things to cherish in life. To name a few,knowledge is also valuable because with a wide knowledge,others will not look down upon us. Our own reputation and image can be increased with vast knowledge we gained in our life. Health, too, is what we should cherish in our life. Without a healthy body,we will not be able to enjoy our life. To summary,there are too many valuable things to be cherish in our life besides friendship. To conclude,we should not take a true friendship for granted. Instead,it is imperative for us to put as much effort as we could to conserve the value of a friendship,which is the most valuable thing in our life, as it brings us immense benefit. If you think it is bad,forgive me. I am still learning to produce a nice piece of work. And,honestly,it is better than what I've written in my MUET test just now.
