“A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality.” -Yoko Ono
When a child is born; he comes to this world alone. With time he learns to value those relationships and those people who mean a lot to him. I would say he learns to live together, he learns to smile together, he learns to dream together; in one line I would say, “He become a member of a team called family”.
The most important aspect of being part of a successful team is to learn the art of working together towards a common goal. A change to the society or a change to the world can never be possible, if we will value our personal goals more than the common goal each human share. It’s all about giving something back to the society, by dreaming something together without keeping any self interest.
“In order to change the world, you have to get your head together first.” -Jimi Hendrix
“Together we can change the world”- it may be the simplest statement but it’s true. None of us can fight for the odd things that are happening or achieve something which hold importance to all of us alone. We all need to walk together towards the progress, towards the change we want to see.
At personal level- The best memories a person can keep with him is the memories of the time spent with real friends together. Friendship is nothing but staying together irrespective of the challenge each one of us have to face or the status we maintain.
“Life is nothing but walking together in a journey with those people, who hold importance to us” -Arindam

Very insightful post, Arindam. Really nice share. I think you’re right, when the friendship is true, words aren’t always needed for the message to be ‘felt’. :)
Arindam

Thanks a lot Marcy. Yes I value friendship a lot; although I like to keep friendship with very few people. :)

On a personal level, me too. However, I try to be friendly with everyone that crosses my path, unless they give me reason not to.
Arindam
April 29, 2012
Same here. I also try to be friendly with everyone that crosses my path; but the thing is that not many people cross my path for the second time. :) That’s why I have very few friends.

I’m a recluse, for the most part. Although, I have some very close friends, that remain so, even though some of them I’ve not seen for years.

Nice post. I am touched by the quotes, especially in the second picture. True friends sometimes doesn’t need words. But the picture itself is scary if not because of the text.
Nevertheless, great job.

Thanks a lot Albadr. Yes I edited the picture to not make the face visible of two of my best friends; the reason is very simple- I do not want to give a face to friendship. I wanted everyone to see their own friends in form of those two people in the picture.
Thanks for sharing your thought here. I appreciate it. :)

“Together, we can change the World.” Simple yet powerful words. Bro, every word in this post breathes inspiration. Most of the time, it take one voice of courage to speak our and start a positive change. Great job.

Thanks a lot Bro. With the intention to change something, I have started “blog for change campaign” in my blog. Where every week I will dedicate one post to the problem my part of world is facing in order to create awareness or may be a story of a person who is trying to change something or anything else which will inspire each one of us to bring the change. Let’s see how it goes.
