Friendship is very important to us. It leads to self-improvement and helps us better walk the "path of life!". Friendship has three "fruits". First, we feel more comfortable when we share our feelings with our true friends, as they will understand us and allow us to express ourselves. Second, friends can help us think more clearly and offer suggestions to problems. Third, friends are willing to support us to achieve our goals. However, we should carefully choose friends and develop friendships
