Journal Writing 1 - Genevieve Koh

Should i lend to a friend is a tough question to decide on. Like any other things we do in life, there would always be pros and cons. And this shall not be an exception. For me, i would see who is that person, what he/she wants me to lend him/her, and why.

Pros - Just helping a little may change part of a friend's life. For example, if a friend is weak in a certain subject, and you just simply help a little by tutoring her or whatsoever, she will have better grades and may even go to a better class next year. Equals to, better future. And most importantly, we can see our friend happy and smile.

Cons - We may be taken advantage of. For example, a friend always claim that he/she dont have money and always borrows it from you. And one day, when you need a sum of money urgently and wants it back from him/her and he/she doesnt wana return. What will happen to you if you cant get that sum of money. You lend a helping hand to others but others may not lend you theirs when you need it. And i guess thats the selfish side of a person.

Thats all. Goodbye.
