Friendship

Friendship with oneself is all important,
because without it one cannot be friends
with anyone else in the world.


People's lives change.
To keep all your old friends is like
keeping all your old clothes pretty soon your
closet is so jammed and everything so crushed
you can't find anything to wear.
Help these friends when they need you;
bless the years and happy times when you
meant a lot to each other,
but try not to have the quilts if
new people mean more to you now.

The person who tries to live alone will not
succeed as a human being.
His heart withers if it does not answer another heart.
His mind shrinks away if he hears only the echoes of
his own thoughts and finds no other inspiration.

To attract good fortune, spends a new penny
on an old friend, share an old pleasure
with a new friend and lift up the heart of a true friend
by writing his name on the wings of a dragon.



There is an important difference between
love and friendship. While the former delights in
extremes and opposites, the latter demands equality.

A true friend is someone who thinks that you
are a good egg even though he knows
that you are slightly cracked.



True friendship is a plant of slow growth,
and must undergo the shocks of adversity
before it is entitled to the appellation.


Friends may come and go, but enemies accumulate.


A wise man gets more use from his
enemies that a fool from his friends.

Unused credit cards impact your credit score!

The CIBIL CIR captures details on all the credit facilities that one has availed like home loan,auto loan,credit cards etc.Details of unused credit cards,like that date if opening and credit limit will also reflect in the "Accounts" section of the CIR and have an impact on the credit score.

Credit Utilization and trade attributes such as the age of the credit account,type of credit,mix or balance of credit instruments etc. impact your credit score. However, unused credit cards will not drastically impact your credit score if you have been regular at payment on all your other credit accounts, along with these credit cards in the past.
