Confidant Today I learned a new word - confidant, which is another word for friend, very closed friend. There is an old Chinese saying which reads "一个好汉三个帮", and it means each great man have 3 friends to help him. By this sentence, it shows how important and necessary Chinese reckon friends are. To me, it is more important, as I am no great man, and I hate doing things by myself. I would always love to have a companion by my side. However, the more you grow, the more you realize that sometimes it's crucial that you can achieve things on your own. Also, a friend you trust with all your heart might turn his back on you. Anyway, I still love to be with my friends and share my thoughts with them. I am very proud to say that I have a few confidants that I trust and love deeply.
