I Love My Friends
Having a group of good and loyal friends played a very vital role in our daily lives. I always remember those days in high school when we were awakened to the importance of friendship. Back in those days, issue with friends occupies a big part of our high school memories.
By the time, we were already in college, of course a lot of things changed either for the better or not. We started to choose the friends we would like to hang out with. In my own personal experience, it was from this time that I really cultivated my current network of friends.
Currently, my network of friends is great one of my greatest supporters with my business. And I am so grateful for them of all the help, advice and ideas contributing to my success in online marketing.
I am not, therefore, surprised when Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health released a study detailing how a network of good and loyal friends can possibly increase an individual’s life span. This report is based on a study of almost 2000 Australians who are already 70 and above in a period of 10 years. This clearly showed the link between relationships and long life.
The study concluded that people having strong network of friends experienced 25 percent less mortality compared to people having few friends. Aside from increasing the life span, active friendships generated optimistic effects among the elderly. This positive attitude is great for combating depression, self-esteem, self-efficacy and low morale.
Friendship contributed much to the sense of personal control – something gradually slipping when a person is getting old. With all of these benefits, it is good if we all build good friendship from the time when we are still young until the time we expires.
A toast to a lifetime of friendship and camaraderie!
