Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?
It is better to make friends with intelligent people than with people who have a good sense of humor?
In modern society, people attach more importance to relation and connection, which cause more and more people to consider the question that what kind of friends we need most in the rapidly developing world. In my point of view, both intelligent people and humorous people are equally important.
First of all, we should make clear about the definition of friend. The word “friend” covers a wide range of meanings. It can be a nodding acquaintance, a comrade, a confidant, or an intimate colleague, etc. They will cast impact on our lives. Everyone needs friendship. We need help from, and also give help to, others. No one could sail the ocean of life single-handed.
Secondly, the reason why I think we should make friends with the intelligent people is that life is full of strife and conflict. It is hard for us to get our positions and easily to get loss in the seemingly full of material civilization society. These intelligent friends would provide warnings to us against danger and offer advices with regard to how to deal with various situations. Then we could think it thoroughly before we jump into the water. For example, Wei Zheng, who served as the chancellor for thirteen years during Tang dynasty in the reign of Emperor Taizong of Tang. Although emperor Taizong had the biggest power, Weizheng always prevented him from making mistakes. There were several times even Taizong wanted to kill Weizheng. However, after Weizheng’s death, Taizong of Tang once said “after I took the throne, it was Weizheng who assistant me to correct my errors.” Judging from this, we could see that a smart friend like a mirror in which we could find where our fault and weakness is.
Moreover, the friends who have a sense of humor are also important in our life. In the developing society, many people always feel stressful than before. In order to be more competitive over others, they have to work over time. As a result, more and more pressure is accumulated. In this case, jokes from humorous friends could make us laughing, help us relaxing, and then greatly release the pressure from work and study.
Furthermore, making friends with humorous people could help me develop the sense of humor. To see this clear, taking my friend Richard as an example. He is a sunshine boy who can always tell jokes when I feel frustrated and then make me feel much better. And more interesting thing is that I told other friends with those jokes which he told me before, and making more friends by doing so. Humor is a magnet, which really draws people.
As what mentioned above, I disagree with the statement that it is better to make friends with intelligent people than the humorous ones. |
