However it may never come true
But that’s the best way
To live life through

To dream so high
Never give up and always try
Never let go or say goodbye

Life teach us
That when there is darkness
For sure sunrise is the next
And when everything is so tiring
For sure there would be time to rest

Always be true and never pretend
Always love with no end
And the broken hearts try to mend

Life teach us
Never to feel the hate

People meet, few stay together
And few lives apart
So if you are one who have been left behind
Don’t cry and suffer
Just search for a new start

And nothing we should regret

Life teach us
To open our heart and forgive
Cause that will help us to survive and live

And always try to understand

Not to be shy
If we have done something wrong
But to admit it and be proud that we have learned
A lesson that will help us to be strong

Life teach us
To live more
Seek for the happiness we deserve most

Power of asking, Being honest! :-)

There was a time when “Archie” as Neha used to call her, didn’t have a lot of friends. She was a bit shy and reserved. She never really wanted to be popular, but she did want to have someone to share secrets and laughs with. All through junior school, though, she just slipped in and out of “light” friendships where she didn’t find a lot of comfort or companionship.

When it came time to go to secondary school, Archie was quite nervous. She was going to be rooming with someone she didn’t know. There wouldn’t be a single person she knew in the new school. She had no idea how she was going to make friends in this new environment.

The first week of classes, something happened that changed Archie’s life forever. In the class, all the students were asked to share a little about themselves. When Archie turn came she told everyone where is came from and all of the other ordinary details that students share in such situations. The final question for each student was always the same: “What is your goal for the this class?” Now, most of the students said “to get a good grade, pass the class or something similar”, but for some reason, Archie said something entirely different. She said that her goal is to make just one good friend.

While most of the students sat in silence, one student came to Archie and held out her hand and introduced herself. She asked if she would be her friend. The whole room was silent – all eyes focused on the Archie and the hand extended just in front of her. She smiled and stretched her hand out to take her and a friendship was formed. The other girl was Richa and it was a friendship that lasted all through the school. After a day Neha became her friend too as Neha and Richa were the best friends since class 1st. They three rocked the secondary school and it was a friendship that turned into more than friendship. It was a friendship that brought three people together.

Neha, Richa and Archie learned the power of asking for what they want, being honest and taking action. They learnt that the term friends forever is something that makes them smile, no matter how young or old they are. Friends forever mean a gift that is very rare indeed, and should be cherished. But even friendships that don’t last as long as they are supposed to are amazing gifts as well. Archie is not in contact them with them anymore. No idea where is she. Neha and Richa hardly talk to each other now. But those cherished moments bring smile to their face today as well.

We have many friendships in our life time and some friendships will grow and change over time. Sometimes we’ll have a great circle of friends with whom we enjoy every waking moment. We share all of our secrets, tell our friend our ultimate desires, and know that no matter what she says, we’ll be there for her as well. However, most friendships change. People move on, or grow older, or get involved in different activities that push them away from their friends. Part of being a friend knows when its time to move on to another friendship or to closer ties with someone else.
