Every human being needs other human being to survive and get through obstacles and challenges in life.We could hardly live as happy as we are if we have no other people to support us in our lives.We all need family,friends,teachers or mentors to guide,love and cheer us up during the ups and downs in life.No one could live all by himself or herself as life is not a bed of roses.In another words,no one could live as lonely as an island.I entirely agree with the proverb which stated that 'No Man Is An Island' by John Donne.
As we have mentioned earlier,family members played the most important rule in our lives.That is because family members are always there for us from the moment we have born into this world and the day we died or passed away.Parents are the ones who love us the most and stay closest to us.They sacrifice almost everything to bring us up.For example,they give us sufficient foods,clothes,educations,undivided loves and so on.They support us financially,physically and mentally without asking for their children to pay in return.At the meantime,they sacrifice their precious times and energy on raising us to become an useful person.Furthermore,parents are the first persons who inculcated the moral values and religion beliefs that make us a fully human being.When we have done something that is sinful or incorrect,parents would guide and rectify our mistakes by setting the positive examples as action speaks louder than words.Moreover,our siblings influence our lives as well.Siblings are the ones who are at the similar or slightly elder or younger than we are.At homes,we spent most of our times talking,playing and even arguing with our siblings since we were young.When our parents get older and ill one day,then it is our responsibility to look after them well and live harmonically with our siblings.It proves that we could not live without the presence of family as they are always willing to support us unconditionally forever.
In addition,friends are also one of the most essential elements in our lives.If you ask anyone around you if they have friends,surely their response will be one of the shocked incredulity due to the ignorance of a universal truth:everyone has friends.Even so,only sincere or genuine friends would provide us the emotional support and companionship which family could not give to us.During the teenage stage of our lives,we would feel that family especially parents could not understand our opinions or thoughts.In that case,we need friends who we could talk to without any intervals so that we would not feel lonely or abandoned.We would share our feelings,sadness,happiness,loneliness,successes,experiences and problems with our peers.In the process of exchanging ideas and thoughts,we could gain more knowledge and experiences from them which helps us to broaden our minds and horizons.Nevertheless,fair-weathered friends would take advantage of us and leave us alone during the hard times.even so,that could make us a stronger and maturer person emotionally.In short,friendship is one of the most indispensable experiences of life.
Last but not least,teachers are one of the most important persons who show the significant impacts in our lives.Teachers are as if the soul of the civilized world and the ones who impart education to make our planet a better world.In my opinion,students not only needed teachers' guidance on their studies but also support them emotionally.Most of the teachers I have known are friendly,cheerful,warm,optimistic and knowledgeable.When we face difficult times,teachers are the best person to consult in.They are more thoughtful and experienced in solving problems than our peers or ourselves.Therefore,they could give us many useful advises and comments which enable us to deal with the problems effectively.For an instance,teachers give us the encouragement to cope up with our studies and score well in the examinations.Besides,they are also helpful in giving motherly of fatherly advices and motivations to us when we are facing hardships such like relationship,financial,academic problems and many more.In summary,teachers are the individuals who are worthy of our respects and they are influential in shaping good personalities in ourselves.
Hence,it is crucial to have family,friends and teachers to stand by our sides when the difficulties and setbacks make incursions into our lives.Since a very long time ago,our ancestors lived in a gregarious society. Till now,we still need to rely on each other in order to survive and enjoy life.After all,if we live without the presence of other people,can we feel happy or contented?
