offline msg..

Once i had to walk on a rope bridge. It was very high, i was scared. i saw my friend on the other side and called him out for help but there was no reply . i somehow managed and crossed the bridge. There i was shocked to see my friend holding the end of the broken bridge...,sometimes we think why our friend is quite when we call for help . he may not help you in crossing the bridge but he might be holding the broken bridge for you ... just trust your friends in every situations, because they are your real assets. please pass this msg to all your good friends including me if you think i am your good friend and see how many friends will send the same msg back to you accepting you as his\her best friend.
