Venue:台中市南屯區 大業路182號 Mos Burger
Thanks a lot for your attention.

Questions:
1. Why are friends so important?

2. Let’s focus on how a friendship makes you feel, not what it looks like. If a friend tries to control you, criticize you, abuse your generosity, or influence you in a negative way, it's time to take a closer look at the value of your friendship. Have you ever met this kind of friends?

3. How to be more friendly and social?

4. What would stop you from making friends?

Dear Taichung Happiers,

How will you design your “Best Friend Game”? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3xuHga4sms&app=desktop

What is friendship? English writer Eustace Budgell (19 August 1686 – 4 May 1737) gifted us with his words of wisdom. “Friendship is a strong and habitual inclination in two persons to promote the good and happiness of one another.” It is more than fantastic to have a “best friends duo”--Jingle and Howard--for hosting this week’s discussion on friendship. Welcome to invite your best friends, friend friends, or stranger friends to board our ship of friends.

What are good friends essential for? More than thousand years after Aristotle (384–322 BC) expressed the enduring insight "Friends hold a mirror up to each other; through that mirror they can see each other in ways that would not otherwise be accessible to them, and it is this mirroring that helps them improve themselves as persons", its endorsements invariably keep taking intellects further. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/07/07/author-friendships_n_5545074.html In addition, a solid bridge of friendship can make a difference and brighten more corners of the world. This sweet story about the duo inventing the first computer is full of mind-blowing beauty. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5fVlGAY6m8o&app=desktop So, what kind of mirror are you holding? Check it out. http://www.quizony.com/what-type-of-friend-do-you-attract/index.html

Are true friends hard to find? https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/the-prime-life/201503/is-true-friendship-still-possible Aristotle classified friendship into three types: friendship of utility, pleasure, and virtue—which type(s) do you give/take? In the age of social media, new friends are just one click away; somehow, do you still feel The Missing Piece is beckoning you? What enables The Missing Piece and The Big O rolling in the same direction, side by side? Actualize and befriend ourselves before seeking for true friendship, shall we? On the other hand, a good book can be the truest friend; a superhero (either you have met in person or not) can be the most inspiring friend. No worries, then.

What can we learn from friendship? Ralph Waldo Emerson (May 25, 1803 – April 27, 1882), an American essayist and poet, had highlighted the meaning of friendship. “The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, not the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when you discover that someone else believes in you and is willing to trust you with a friendship.” It also reminds me of the film The Intouchables. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34WIbmXkewU Moreover, how to build trust? Even when your friend has an unexpected Crazy Hair Day? Ta Da~~~ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ckm1c5N9EoM

“How Much, How Many” by Shel Silverstein

How many slams in an old screen door?
Depends how loud you shut it.
How many slices in a bread?
Depends how thin you cut it.
How much good inside a day?
Depends how good you live ‘em.
How much love inside a friend?
Depends how much you give ‘em

Every friendship in our Club is as unique and rewarding as it can be--thanks for being who you are and being our good friends; thanks for being always around us when we need more distinct dimensions; thanks for always talking from your hearts and listening to one another. Your glorious laughter is such a blessing. Love you all. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jr0CXezbbLo Join us. Thanks!!!





With Gratitude,
Jasmine
