Our list of John Lennon Quotes
I get by with a little help from my friends.
(2 minutes read)
The John Lennon's quote says that we can succeed in solving a situation with the help of our friends.
Possessing friends in our lives is a crucial and fundamental element for any of our activities, work or social. These friends can help us solve any situation, or we can discuss any issue with them and have more points of view available.
The point is that not everyone who smiles at us is always our friend. We must surround ourselves with those we can put our trust entirely and be sure that those will never betray us. We also need to be friends only with people who get the best out of us in situations, just as we get the best out of them.
From the moment we are sure that a particular person is a potential trusted friend, then our life, our difficulties become easier. We will face any situation with more positivity and confidence.
Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans.
