The Three Types Of Friends In Life According To Aristotle

1. Friends For A Reason:

With this friendship, both parties obtain a benefit from each other. The friendships are generally quite shallow. It is like a give take relationship. Also known as utility friendships because they serve a purpose, not a true bond.

Aristotle classes this friendship as evil and selfish one.

2. Friends For A Season:

Friends coming together due to similar likes, values, and activities. These friendships are often formed during school years or when in sporting teams. During the time you are friends, you enjoy each other’s company, jokes, and chatter. The friend is important and makes you feel good.

Of the three types of friends in life, friends for a season are short-lived as, with time, we change and form new friendships.

3. Friends For Life:

This friendship is formed slowly. Usually, you have similar values and goals in life. A friend for life is with you, stands by you, and supports you in all you do. True friends listen and respect each other’s values and beliefs. Good friendships sometimes start out as a school friendship.

Of the three types of friendships, friends for life are the most meaningful. These friends are true friends. They are rare and invaluable.

A FATHER AND HIS DAUGHTER❗️ Moral Story Of The Day. A father sent his little daughter to spend the holidays with family members. When the girl returned home, he asked her. "So tell me honestly, did you enjoy your holidays?" She responded. "Everyone was nice to me apart from Aunty Nancy. She seems too harsh and I have a feeling that she hates me" He asked. "Why? What makes you think so?" The little girl replied. "Firstly, she doesn't respond to my greetings no matter how many times I greet her. Secondly, there was a day I helped her find her missing watch but she didn't even say 'thank you'. And thirdly, she never interacted with me like others did, and has never spoken to me before. She's so unbelievable" The father remarked. "Really? So, what is her reaction when you greet her?" The girl uttered. "She would pretend not to notice me" The father paused for a moment and said. "I think you're ...

SECRET OF WINNING You see the champions holding trophies. You see the entrepreneurs on magazine covers. You hear the applause. But what you don't see is more important. Early mornings: While most are sleeping, the winner is awake. Grinding. Improving. Why? Because opportunities don't wait for alarm clocks. Extra reps: That one more effort when the muscles scream, "No!" The additional hour spent on refining a skill. Going the extra mile, literally and figuratively. Why? Because ordinary doesn't win. Long days: Eight hours? Not enough. Nine? Nope. Winners clock in when they start and never really clock out. Why? Because dreams don't have office hours. Brutal reflection: Looking at failure in the face. Accepting mistakes. Analyzing shortcomings. Why? Because growth doesn't come from delusion. Personal growth: Always learning. Always adapting. Always climbing. Why? Because success is a moving target. Sounds harsh? Maybe. Let's consider Michael Jordan. Not...

ADVICE FROM OLD PEOPLE 1 The most important person in your life is the person who agreed to share their life with you. Treat them as such. 2 You might live a long life, or you might live a short one — who knows. But either way, trust me when I say that you’re going to wish you took better care of yourself in your youth. 3 Stuff is just stuff. Don’t hold onto material objects, hold onto time and experiences instead. 4 Jealousy destroys relationships. Trust your significant other, because who else are you supposed to trust? 5 People always say, “Make sure you get a job doing what you love!” But that isn’t the best advice. The right job is the job you love some days, can tolerate most days, and still pays the bills. Almost nobody has a job they love every day. 6 If you’re getting overwhelmed by life, just return to the immediate present moment and savour all that is beautiful and comforting. Take a deep breath, relax. 7 Years go by in the blink of an eye. Don’t marry young. Live your life...
