Close friendships display strong support and affection. A good friend plays the invaluable role of a confidant and someone who listens, pays attention and is always willing to help as well as shares similar interests. In other words, the ability to make friends will make you happier.
if you’re eager to make friends but find it tough: take Woody Allen’s lead that “80% of success is showing up,” a big part of friendship is showing up. Whenever you have the chance to see other
people, take it. Go to the party. Stop by someone’s desk. Make the effort. You can leverage on social media tools. But do not make them a permanent habit for relating with people and making new friends.
Wear a smile.

Paul Sloane has given us 21 Great Ways to Innovate which are not only applicable to work but to life as well. I have already tried some - and was following some for years. However, I do accept I was not doing it fully right at times.
Years of preperation, and efforts helped me to transform myself from being an introvert child to a social human being. Must say, initially it was just for the sake of career but it changed my life and myself as a human being.
I remember how shy and introvert I was around 7 years back... But while walking any marketing field I had to get over it.
I have a great bond with my FB friends - you always get someone there to talk to you.
I have a page on Facebook with 2,300 likes and many groups. I gain all my support from there. I communicate and learn about life from them. It fills me with kindness, helps me to move on through the ups and downs of my life.
