friends are....

hey just sth i read in a fan fiction and i feel that it is veri true....
this is frm the story Heero's tears by Ryoko21 frm fan fiction.net

“One of the perks of having friends,” he explained, “is that you’re supposed to tell them exactly what you think, just as they’re supposed to tell you what they think without sugarcoating it. And if you really are trying to be like normal people you need to stop thinking you can plan for everything. You know you can’t, so don’t worry about it. Most people live their lives one day at a time, it’s a lot simpler than your method.”
“But I-... What if something goes wrong?”
“This isn’t like politics, Relena. No one can teach you what to do and what not to do, because you’re the only one that knows. If you try things out and it isn’t right at least you know you’ve tried and failed, instead of not trying at all.”

so is that true?....
ok... back to studying instead of reading stories....
