When I entered my university, I wanted to have a hobby, so I joined an
association of like-minded people. It is a survival game club, and our
team`s name is "Toy Solders." I met Song J. K. there. He was twenty-nine
years old. Although he is older than I, we are good friends. He is the
same height as me, and his hair is always bushy. In my opinion, he is a
very normal person. When we meet, we play computer games, drink and talk,
play ping pong, and so on. We meet about once a week. I like him, and I
have learned from him. He knows how to give careful consideration to other
people, and he respects others. I think that is his merit. When I saw his
actions, I thought that I wanted to learn his good points. In addition,
he always advises me about how to act, how to talk, etc.
The greater part of his advice has been about my drinking habits. We often
drank together after enjoying hobby life. At that time, I drank thoughtlessly,
because I had not been drinking long. He taught me how to drink and enjoy
it. After his advice, I was drinking less than before, but I liked drinking
more. In addition, he knew a lot of good bars, and he told me how to enjoy
drinking when I didn't have enough money.
The other part of his advice was about my actions and talking. He advised
me when I meet someone, not to give them a burden. He said, "You should
always think that your little actions or talking gives a burden to others.
If they have a burden, they will think it is hard to meet you. So pay close
attention to your actions and speech when you meet someone for the first
time."
Today, we often meet, and he advise me about various things. Then I try
to follow his advice. Although it is often hard, I try to do it. I think
all of his advice has helped me in various ways, for example, with making
friends and giving a good impressive. Now I make an effort to consider
my actions and speech more carefully. His advice is helping me to
establish my view of values.
