TITLE: FRIENDSHIP

Hi buddy ! Hi dude ! , Hello Chum ! Hi boo ! Hola amiego ! Do you wonder who
am I calling at ? They are simply some of the nick names to call our dearest
friends
Thank you chair person
A very good day to the distinguished judges, efficient time keeper teachers
and friends. Today, I’m here to give a speech about ‘Friendship’, a title that is
very close to our heart,
doesn’t matter young or old. Ladies and gentlemen please allow me to begin
my humble speech with a poem:

There is a Miracle called Friendship

That dwells within the heart
And you don’t know how it happens
Or when it starts
But the happiness it brings you
Always gives a special lift and you realize that
Friendship is God’s most precious gift

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Friendship is one of the purest forms of relation that exist on this earth.
Getting a sincere and loving friend is perhaps the
Best gift from God, which only lucky few gets. In fact , life becomes very
meaningless without a true friend’s presence beside you. Isn’t it ?
The great philosopher, Aristotle, once figured there were three kinds of
friendships. What are they? The first kind is called the friendship of utility. It
exists between you and someone who is useful to you in some way. The
second one is friendship of pleasure. It exists between you and those whose
company you enjoy. The last but not least the friendship of the good. It based
on mutual respect and admiration.
Dear friends, just figure out what kind of friends do you have?

Dear members of the floor, when you have bunch of amazing friends,
journey of life becomes joyous and vibrant. True friends are there to laugh at
your joy. Again, when you shed tears, who else can be beside you to lend a
shoulder other than your friends? So, it isn’t a surprise to hear what Madam
Helen Keller once said ‘I would rather walk with a friend in the darkness than
alone in the light’.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Friendship is the only relation on this earth which is truly priceless. We may
acquire all materialistic pleasure by putting our effort. But even then life
remains dull, unless you can share your life with one or handful of genuine
friends.
Human being always tends to long for emotional support and a social life.
They crave for love and compassion everywhere. In - spite of possessing
everything in life, why there remains a vacuum at heart? It happens only when
you have no such good friend to share your small and small happiness of life.
Often, we can not share our deepest secrets with our family members
even. But only if we have a true friend, it gets so easy to share your inner
thoughts with the one. Friends are always there to listen to you.
A true friend may criticize you so that you may come out of your
shortcoming. He may guide you like a tunnel of light, when you take a wrong
path. He may scold you if you commit a mistake and shows you the right path.
That’s why it is being said that true friend is more precious than any gem.
My dear friends,
Friendship will provide you with thousands of fun moments in life which
you will memorize while you grow old. But side by side, at times this relation
also passes through moments of crisis. Misunderstanding may crop in and this
amazing relation may start shattering. Always be the first one to save your
friendship. Maybe you are yet to realize the true worth of your friend.
God forbid, if due to some unfavourable reason distance ever arises
within this relation, never let your friend go. Hold his or her hand and
apologize if you are wrong somewhere. There is nothing more pathetic in your
life than losing a true friend. Never ever forget that.
Dear friends,
Friendship is a relation which is as tender as a new born baby , which is
always pure and a bundle of joy which which only needs more and more
nourishment to grow ; which is tons of love and compassion from both ends
.Never ignore your friends or take them for granted. You may come across
various people at various phases of life. Many may pretend to be your friend.
Many may appear to be glorious apparently. But never go by the outward
glitter.
A true friend will not only be beside you when your life is rosy
one.Rather when you are passing through a tormenting phase,if you can find
someone beside you he is only a genuine friend. Love of your friend will always
be unconditional . They may except nothing from you but shower their love to
you always.
Well friends,
Friendship is a divine word. Treasure it! Crave for it in life if you don’t have
one. Try to search out the one. Like our guiding stars they are always around
us. We need to have an eye to search the one out from crowd. If you already
have someone likewise, nothing like that. Value him the most. If not, he is
somewhere around. Figure him out!
Thank you.
