In Western societies, there is a consensus that friends need to invest in each other. Westerners believe that each person can interact with more than 200 friends in their lifetime, and the core is generally only about 50. Some people seem to have a lot of friends on the surface, but there are few people who can really be called deep friendships, such as people who are often active in various social situations, and it seems that they have a lot of network resources, but in the end, it is not these people who seem to be enthusiastic but just nodding friends who are really willing to stick a knife in their ribs and send charcoal in the snow.

In the West, there is a consensus: there is also a need for investment among friends. Westerners believe that each person can interact with more than 200 friends in their lifetime, and the core is generally only about 50. Some people seem to have a lot of friends on the surface, but there are few people who can really be called deep friendships, such as people who are often active in various social situations, and it seems that they have a lot of network resources, but in the end, it is not these people who seem to be enthusiastic but just nodding friends who are really willing to stick a knife in their ribs and send charcoal in the snow. Therefore, as we go through various social situations, it is important to remember to invest emotionally in your friends from time to time and make them the central characters.

As the saying goes, "Commonly used keys are the most shiny." "So we have to pay attention to cultivating and connecting with the people around us. Only when friends are in regular contact with each other will the relationship not be estranged, and the friends will be willing to help you.

If you have never been in touch with your friend since you were separated, it will be difficult for you to succeed when you ask him to do something when you become strangers to each other, unless it is something that concerns his personal interests. In the vast sea of people, you can meet and know others, and that fate is definitely not shallow. While you may not have been together for long, the relationship is worth developing. When you're separated from someone, you still need to keep in touch, otherwise you shouldn't expect an agent you met at a party to give you some reliable inside information later. But there are always such people in life, they are born very greedy, they are not satisfied with what they get, they always hope to get more, and in the end, they can only end up like a poor man's money bag.

In a very dilapidated house, there lived a poor man, who was so poor that he was left with a nest that could barely swallow.

He lay on the tattered futon, thinking about what happened to him today when he was driven out of the gate by the rich people, and said to himself: "I am so poor that I am dying of hunger, but those rich people refuse to give me even a mouthful of rice, I really want to get rich, and if I do, I will not be a miser." ”

At this time, God suddenly appeared to the poor man and said, "I can help you fulfill your wishes, make you rich now, and I will give you a magical purse." ”

"There will always be a gold coin in this purse, and you will never be able to finish it. However, I only have one requirement, which is that when you feel that enough is enough, you must throw away the purse before you can start spending it. Again, God said.

After saying that, God is gone. On the side of the poor, there is indeed a money bag. There was a gold coin in it, and when the poor man took it out, there was another one in it. So, the poor kept taking gold coins out. The poor man took it all night, and there was already a whole pile of gold coins. The poor man thought, "Oh my God, that's enough money for me for a lifetime."

By the next day, he was hungry and wanted to go out and buy something to eat. However, he was reluctant to throw the money bag away, so he began to take money out of the money bag again.

As the days passed, the poor now had the perfect ability to buy food, buy a house, and buy the most luxurious cars. But he still said to himself, "Let's wait until there is more money." ”

He kept taking, and the gold was almost piling up all over the room. However, his body became weaker and weaker, his hair was completely white, and his face was sallow. He weakly said to himself, "I can't throw away the money bag, the gold coins are still coming out!" ”

In the end, he collapsed on the bench and died.

Those who are insatiable can only get nothing in the end. In the same way, the same is true of our network resources. If we already know a lot of people, the only thing we should do is try to maintain the relationship between our friends and keep in touch with each other. But what is the use of always wishing we could get to know more people, like gold in a money bag, and keep pulling them out of our pockets? Gold did not help the poor to buy food, clothing, and shelter, and these precious resources were completely wasted. Isn't that a shameful thing?

Therefore, what we should do is how to make the most of the network resources you have, and to do this, we need to strengthen the connection between friends. Friendships are bound to be distant if they don't connect for a long time, so don't forget the importance of connecting with friends from time to time, if you don't want to invest, it's unlikely to pay off. It was at this point that Liu Bei did a good job to save his life.

When Liu Bei was studying in a private school, he was very smart and righteous, so his classmates had a deep relationship with him. Later, after everyone separated, Liu Bei did not forget to keep in touch with these classmates from time to time. Among them, there was a man named Shi Quan, whose family was very poor, but Liu Bei did not mind his family conditions at all, and often invited Shi Quan to his house as a guest and talked with him about the situation in the world.

Later, Liu Bei was defeated in a battle and was pursued by the enemy, so he risked his life to hide Liu Bei and save Liu Bei's life.

To sum up, friendship between friends needs to be nourished by love, otherwise it will slowly fade. "Emotional investment" between friends should be regular, not optional. We need to remember that the friends we meet in every social situation should be in constant contact and always "invest" in order to bring returns to ourselves.
