Cherish loyal friends.

As you achieve success in life, cherish loyal friends with a conscience. I've witnessed friendships turn sour when one person's fortunes dwindle. Some exploit their friends' vulnerability, treating them like servants when they need help. Others demand favors in exchange for assistance, even from a widow and her children. Sadly, some don't even bother to pay their respects at a friend's funeral, despite sharing memories and struggles.

When you're in a position of power, use your influence to make a positive impact on those around you, without expecting anything in return. Remember, we live in a world where loyalty is rare and people often suffer from convenient amnesia. Nevertheless, keep being a true friend and a force for good, even in the face of ingratitude.
