friends + work = success

If you have a best friend at work, you're the luckiest person in the world

Feeling lonely in a workplace is one of those bad feelings we could come across, especially when there are loads of people around you. How many times have you just turned around and realised that you're with a whole crowd of people, yet you're still lonely? How many times have you felt like an outsider, even though you're meant to be an insider? Friends are the most important people in your life. Without friends, i don't think anyone can cope. Lonliness is something that will eat you up inside and ultimately, you will reach that breaking point at some time or another. That's when the bad things begin to happen.

Do you remember that episode of Friends, when Phoebe was on the phone with that guy, who was feeeling so alone, so uncared for, so left out. Nobody in his work place took any notice of him, not even when he screamed 'i'm going to kill myself'. God, that must be an awful, awful feeling. Everybody needs friends. If anybody denies that, then he is only lying to himself.

Being able to work with friends is something amazing in my opinion. You will get on eachothers nerves at some point, but really, you'll always be there to back eachother up and so.. the only effect of that, is that your work will flourish and become even better than before. Trust me I know. The only time i'm happy when im working is when there are people with me who i love to work with. Even - well, at the moment, especially when it comes to studying.

3 months ago, me and one of my best friends, were studying for our dreaded exams.. mainly economics - a subject we both could not understand. We studied for hours on end (something i could never do alone being the easily distracted person that i am) and our final result was so so satisfying. We both reached points were we just wanted to close our books, and several files and just give up - but thank god we had eachother to give ourselves hope, further aims and to turn boring and depressing situations into funny ones.

This week, our last result came out and we got an excellent mark. One of us got an A and the other got a B. This is from a subject that we both wanted to give up on at some point. Had we not backed eachother up, we would have lost so much. We would have ultimately ruined our summer, and ruined our chance at graduating.

Think of this.... again... If you have a best friend at work, you are the luckiest person in the world... How true this is!! :D
