A powerpoint presentation about friendship. Reported by: Carpio and Castillo of G11-21

1. FRIENDS
OF THE
VISION
“The company you keep
greatly influences your
life.”

3.  The company you keep
greatly influences your
life. Most likely, this
group of people affects
your outlook,
perspective, and
decision-making.
 You have likely made
important decision
based on friends’ or
peers’ opinions.

4.  When you are certain
of how you want your
life to turn out, it is
important that you
select people who can
help you succeed in
life. One criteria that
you can use is to
determine if your
peers are friends of
your vision.

5. Friends are people who want you to
succeed and be all you can be.
 You can be friendly with many people, but allow only
those who really care about your welfare to speak into
your life.

6. Friends are people who lift you up
and do not pull you down
 Find people who can
encourage you and can speak
positive things into your life.
 This does not mean that you
only expect people to speak
only good about you, but they
should be honest enough to
even hurt you when you need
correction.

7. You cannot be friends with
people who have a different set
of values
 Your vales determine your character. Be
careful not to allow people do not share your
core values to influence you.

8. You cannot be friends with those who
do not support your life vision
 It is not advisable to be close with people
who do not really believe in your life vision.
You cannot be with someone who views life
from a different plane unless you want to be
confused or blurred about your vision, or be
totally distracted from pursuing it.

9. You cannot be friends with those
whose convictions are the exact
opposite of yours.
 Be with people who share your convictions on important
issues.
 You need people around you that can support your stand.

10. Friends of your vision are:
 People who help you pursue your cause.
 People who strengthen you so you can be the
person you want to be.
 People who encourage and motivate you so you
can persist in pursuing your vision.

11. Realization:
 Look in – identify struggles in your life that, if not dealt
with, may hinder you from succeeding.
 Look up - ask God to bring people into your life who
will help you succeed.
 Look round - be a friend to someone whose vision is
something you really believe in.
 Look out - do not hang around with people who “kill”
your vision. The last thing you need is a person who
never believes in you.

character.”
