In life we are required to peerform the best. Not only for yourself, but also for others. My friend someday do something for me, Buit then he ask in return for whisch he did. I feel weird, because it came from my friend. I think to do a favor, we not always have to get a reward.
Do you expect something for the good things you do to others? Tell me what the reason!

We are not required to perform for others in life. But we as humans will always lend a helping hand when someone is in need. Especially our friends. We stick with friends like we stick with family. If you need help and a friend helps you, then you should expect that at some point they will ask you for a favor. It's like the old saying, one hand washes the other.

When we choose to do something, we might as well give it our best shot, or not do it at all. The desire to help a fellow human being should come from the heart, without expecting anything in return. We are all here in this world to help each other. No man is an island and no one can stand alone. However, sadly, there are some who are thoughtless and selfish. There is nothing we can do about that. We can only the best that we can and do it wholeheartedly. In my opinion, asking, "what can I do to help" should be the ideal way, instead of "what's in it for me."

i personally believe that if we want to help a friend, it should come from the heart.. we should not list down the things that we did for other people and can later ask for it in return..

When I help a friend or when a friend helps me, we don´t call that a good deed or a good work. We have to do what we have to do, no more, no less. I never think of aa reward. If I thought that way (or the other did) it would not have any good in it: it would be a sort of werk in order to get paid.

Good works do not require compensation. However so... If this person sees you as a friend, it is but natural for him to expect that he can count on you as much as you can count on him. We dont count the many times we do favors for our friends. We do favors for a friend because he needs us. That is what friends are for right?

I have the values of friends principles. In friendship, I do not want to owe what i got from my friend. I also have different point of view friendship. I would really appreciate my friend and even would give money to them. I think everyone can not be different in dealing with friendship. Okay
