You've learnt good things, it's good to connect with people that will add value to one's life and not just anyhow friends that would only engage one in discussions that are not beneficial to one's growth.
No one is independent, we need each other to grow, most times what you need is with someone and vice versa. So being able to make good friends or relationship with people will make one grow fast. Moreso, that's another reason why I love this platform, it connects people together from different parts of the world.
Yes life work smooth and soft when we connect with people that are better in things that we are doing then we too be better in that.
Thanks for your beautiful comment.
