KNOW YOUR FRIEND!



I got chatting with a friend, she told me her neighbor has never patronized her. 

So I asked her to strategically find out from her neighbour why she doesn't buy goods from her. My friend did, and her neighbor's response was shocking! 

The neighbour said, "when I parked in newly, I needed somewhere close where I can be getting my foodstuffs and grains easily without having to go to the market always, so I asked your best friend she told me not to buy from you, she said your grains are full of weevils and most of your products have the tendency to be po.isonous because of the high quantity of preservatives you put in them. So I wanted somewhere safe" 

Wow, just Wow! 

My friend was shocked to her marrow, how could her so called "best friend" say such about her. 

Meanwhile, my friend has been her go-to Person whenever she's facing a financial constraint. Most times, she borrows and don't refund. And there she goes bad mouthing her business. 

Is that not witchcraft? 

At this point I'll say, know your Friend! Having a good circle of friends should be a balance between support and healthy competition. Push each other to greater heights, inspire Growth and achievement. That's the real friendship goal.
