Friends are a huge part of life. Good, trustworthy, honest friends; that's what we need more of.
Faithful friends are the ones who stand by you in the roughest times and in the smoothest times. They respect you and honor your views and opinions. As Elbert Hubbard said, “A friend is someone who knows all about you and still loves you.”
Friends are people you connect with, people who understand you, people who feel with you.
Friends are like family.
Like family, friends stick together.
Like family, friends fight (although unlike family, friends don't fight as much).
Friends are one of the greatest gifts we have.
Friends are all around us, we just have to go up and say hello.
Peers are people who are of the same age, status and/or ability as another. Peers are pretty much friends.
Mentors are people who encourage, push and prompt us. Chris Brady said, "Great coaches are necessary to help you think through whether you should think what you think you should think."1
And Orrin Woodward said that, "A person is blind to his own faults, making mentors and confidants crucial to success."2
