friendship
I remember someone asked me what friend is, I thought for a while and I said that friend is the one I choose to trust. It is out of question that being honest is an indispensable virtue for a friendship. However, when we come to the question whether it is impossible to be totally honest with your friend, I think most of people will say “yes”. If I given the choice, I will also assert that being completely honest to my friends is impossible.
Admittedly, friendship needs us telling truth. If an individual finds a friend, what he wants to do is to share his happiness or sadness to his friend, and these things must be true. Well goes an English proverb, “Honesty is the best policy.” And the all this “policy” is conducted in our friendship. For example, every child in their young age will hear a story name Here Comes a Wolf. Liar, the little child in the story, will finally lose the trust from other and will be eaten by the wolves.
Fundamentally, telling white lie can comfort our friends’ felling more often than not. Can a doctor be so cruel as to tell a hopeful middle-aged patient that he is terminally ill? Can a person be so insensitive as to tell his friend that his new house is very shabby? Can a man be so absent-minded as to tell his girlfriend that her expensive new dress looks horrible on her? In such situations, a kind person may tell a white lie to his friends instead of giving the cruel truth.
Subsequently, sometimes telling the truth will hurt our friends’ confidence. Once in a time, my friend bought a dress, and that dress looks too loose and unsuitable on her. When she asked me how she looks on that dress, I answered that it is terrible for her. I want to be honest, and I don’t want her to show off that dress in front of other friends. Unfortunately, she felt upset and never ware that dress again, and she told me that I hurt her felling that time. The reason for this terrible story happen is not far to seek. In my point of view, tell the truth in inadaptable time would only serve to hurt somebody.
In conclusion, we should undoubtedly appeal to be honest with others in most of time, however, not all the time. If want to own a friendship forever, we need sometimes to comfort them, build up their confidence by telling the white lie.

happiness
Perhaps happiness is no longer a simple thing for most of people, In other words, there are always some people who are confusing how they can be happier. Therefore, if we come to the question whether your job has great happiness than your social life, different people have different ideas. In my point of view, I undoubtedly assert that jobs cannot substitute our social life as earing happiness, which means our social life has greater happiness.
Admittedly, jobs can make us happy. Owing a decent job can delight us with money, the right to get respect and the opportunity to learn something new. With money, we can easily hanging out with friends, and pay for our daily life or children’s education. By having a decent job, people will met us showing respect. What’s more, learning a new ability is more than happy to us, we can know more about how to community with others and facilitate our social skill. Job is important, but if we analyze it carefully, we can always find our social life have more happiness.
Fundamentally, happiness comes from enjoying social life with our friends. During the interaction in social life, we would become friends with numerous people and the friendship built in social time would benefit us for our whole life. In the specific, we multiply joys on work and study by talking with our friends, we divide grief, like failing in exams, by getting along with our friends; we eat out with our friends in a restaurant and have a close chat including our little secrets that parents don’t know. This is what happening in our social life, which is one of the approaches to release ourselves and contribute to sense of happiness.
Subsequently, happiness is born from family harmony, which is an indispensable part of social life. Take myself as an instance. My mother is good at cooking, and it is one of things make me happy that share the dinner prepared by her. There is no feeling I can compare to walking into my front door after a long day of school being greeted by the smell of warm dumplings or noodle soup. When the smell reaches my nose, all of my tiredness washed away and all I need to do is to enjoy the dinner with my family. After dinner, the television in our living room offers me another nice way, besides having dinner, I can soon get refreshed and entertained by staying close to my parents.
Thus, I will not walk away from the perspective that social life truly has more effect on our happiness than our job does.
