Point to write a speech on ita friend in need is a friend in deed?

Answer 1

The proverb "a friend in need is a friend indeed" means a friend who helps when we are in trouble is a true friend - unlike others who disappear during such situations. Meaning of the phrase is sometimes misunderstood as "a needy person becomes a friend to obtain help from others".

There is no dearth of friends in this world but finding a true friend is really difficult. Lot of people boast that they have hundreds of friends but when we are in trouble how many of them will extend a helpful hand? Only a few. A true friend is the one who stays with us in our ups and downs of life. They help in our tough times but also share our happy moments. Many a times we see "friends" flock around financially well to do people to avail the lavish spending they might offer. But when their financial status is lost and they are in need of help, these so called friends are the first to step out. Very few people are lucky enough to find true friends and must cherish and treasure them throughout their life.

Answer 2

Do you mean "A friend is need is a friend in deed" ?

If you do it means that when you have a need the sort of friend you want is one that will do something for you rather than just criticise you.

For instance I knew of a woman who was told to set up a new office somewhere. People came in to see her in the office and saw what a mess the place was. Nobody had used the room as an office for years, so it was really filthy with cobwebs and dust and all sorts of junk in it. They didn't stop to help her get it clean or tidy they just said that they would come back when she had finished.

The woman found the job so hard that she started to cry. At that point someone else came in. He knew her a little bit but not very well. He looked around and saw the mess and immediately started to clean the place for her. After a while she felt good enough to start again and between them they cleaned the whole place. The other people were her friends but he was a friend in deed (a friend in what he did for her) and this made all the difference to her.

Answer 3

A friend in need is a friend in need. Be true to who you are and friends will come. No friendship is just black and white there are many shades of gray. Be accepting of differences and friends will abound.
