In this ever-evolving and changing world, Shikha Ma’am talked about the importance of real and genuine friendships and how they shape you into the person you are today. In a world where hustle culture has become really common, friends teach us how important it is to balance fun with productivity and make the most out of this precious little life.
You all must have heard the phrase, "Quality over Quantity," which is a major part of true friendships. Instead of boasting about having a hundred online friends, the importance of those two true friends who always have your back no matter what was clearly highlighted by Ma’am. They see through the flaws in you and still want to be a part of your life story.
Real friends would never leave you stranded, even if they themselves earn a scolding from the teacher (but at least we were together in this mess).
Agreed, friendships are messy, confusing, and sometimes a major headache, but I promise you, in the end, it’s all worth it. Friendships are the mess you never knew you needed in your life.
They will sometimes be the ones getting your focus back on the right path, but sometimes the ones deviating you. No matter what, they are never going to disrespect your choices. Of course, they are different individuals, so you can’t expect them to always agree with your opinion or make the same choices as you—but that’s what makes friendships such a big life lesson in negotiation and adjustment, full of fun, happiness, and, of course, fights along the way.
There is no right or wrong way of approaching friendships, but we all should know how to identify who our true friends are and who are…well…just acquaintances. Shikha Ma’am made this easier for us as well.
Today’s session was truly engaging and thought-provoking (especially because of those really difficult Q&As—but hey! I’m not complaining).
