The problem of friendship has always aroused heated debates. Some people are convinced that having a wide circle of friends is good. However, the others believe that you should have just a few friends. I suppose that it is better to have a lot of friends. Firstly, you could have a lot of time spending with different people, because every person has his own personality. Secondly, if you have many friends, you will learn a lot from them. Thirdly having a lot of friends could help in your future career, because networking is everything nowadays. Some opponents might stick to the point that you couldn't be in a good relationships with a wide circle of people. They suggest that it is pointless to spend so many time building relationships. Moreover they say that you could only have few true friends. Nevertheless I do not support the above mentioned ideas. One should take into account the fact that in a modern world it is so easy to build relationships using phone or Internet. Besides, you could have few close friends and a lot of friends, who are not so close to you. All in all I think having a wide circle of friends is very beneficial and leads to success. Despite the arguments of various skeptics I will be happy to have as many friends as I can.
