here it is a story:

Golden ways of friendship


If you loved doing what you do and it paid good
money as well would you just bill for all its worth on
people or would you give a reasonable price, but be willing
to give friendship help, were work has nothing to do with
it? Would the job be about the people and friends you help
or is it all about the green?


Bob: I know you care about him, but is he the person you
think he is? I mean from what other people have told you
about him do you think it could be true?

Hannah: You have a good point, but I care about him. I
don’t know I will look into it though.

Bob: Ok, well could you let me know what happens?

Hannah: Sure

Bob: Thanks and I’m always here if you need me

Bob has always had a desire to help others with
there problems, he has had been told that he was trusted
more than some and that people like the fact that he
doesn’t say anything to anyone about the personal things.
Bob has his way of thinking that a lot of counselors go
about helping others as there patients, but Bob thinks that
in order to help the person they need to be more than there
counselor, they need to be a friend and friendship can
create a trust that a counselor could never get.

Bob is talking to one of his friends.

Bob: I think its horrible that these major counselors or
psychologists get paid a lot for sitting and listening to
peoples problems, I mean its great to have that flow of
money to come in, but to charge people a hefty amount of
money is wrong. I would charge a reasonable amount, and
yet some make themselves unavailable to there patients out
of the office, that to me is wrong because the person may
not just have a problem that can be talked about only when
it’s the counselors convenience. I know a lot of them
aren’t that way, but the big time ones seem to abuse there
status. I would challenge them because I sometimes think
that the way they do things misses major parts of the
person’s life that need to be worked on.

Henry: is that so, well how would you like to be able to
express that to a vast audience?

Bob: What? Are you saying you can make some sort of press
conference happen?

Henry: Yes, I can arrange something like that and I could
possibly have local news be there.

Bob: You serious, man if you could I would love to express
my feelings towards this.

Henry: Well man you got it so prepare something and I’ll
have it set in about a week.

A week goes by and Bob didn’t prepare the way you think he
would, he went through what he would say in his mind and
kept on helping his friends like nothing big was going to
happen… the day has come for his press conference.

Head of the Conference: Welcome everyone today we have a
guest speaker who would like to address us on his views on
how to help people in counseling, please welcome our young
speaker Bob.

Bob: Thank you Sir, I’m thankful to have this opportunity
to express my feelings to you all, and first off I would
like to say that a lot of doctors tend to have a high price
rate on there bills and for something that shouldn’t be
much of a physical work seems to be a profession that gets
the green. Now don’t get me wrong, but I know that a lot
of you love your work not for the money, but for the people
themselves, I’m just saying that some of these top-ranking
counselors seem to do it for the money more than the
patients. I respect all of you who find this profession a
great opportunity to share your skill and willingness of
helping others, but for those who just do it for the money
I have lost all respect for you, because the person may
have been helped, but for the price of being helped they
had to give a lot of there sweat and labor that was the
balance of there living income.

Doctor Harris: All right I think I’ve heard enough from
you, all this is a bunch of rubbish.

Bob: Is that so well let me get onto something else I need
to express Doctor, well lets see when you can’t find a
reason of the patients problems you tend to give them meds
right? Well what if the meds help so they need to have
drugs to solve there problems, I mean for some yes that’s
true, but what if the case is that you didn’t take all the
angles to find out if you could figure out there problems,
then what you have them on drugs that could have serious
side affects on them. Let me ask you this Doctor what do
you consider your patients friends or are they just
patients?

Doctor Harris: I consider them friends why?

Bob: Well if you consider them friends why is it that you
aren’t reachable other than office time, I mean if they
were your friends wouldn’t you be reachable for them at
home as well? To be a friend good Doctor you need to be
available for them at all times, its not like they won’t
have problems during your time, I mean they take there time
to see you, so why not take your time to be there for them
when they need it?

Doctor Harris: That’s absurd, how can you be available for
them all the time?

Bob: Ok I’ll give you that Doctor Harris you can’t be
available 24/7, but you can be available more than you have
been doing Doctor

Doctor Harris: Oh is that so sonny care to explain how you
dare of accusing me of not being there for my patients?

Bob: Oh by all means Doctor I will, I know I maybe a lot
younger than you, but I’m not stupid I did my research and
I know that some of my friends have you as a counselor and
you are never available for them out of the office.

Doctor Harris: So what I’m not available, big deal it’s
not like there not doing harm to themselves. Besides how
do you know the first thing of how to do my job?

Bob: Oh true on that Doctor, but sorry to burst your
comeback, but I’ve been the one they talk to when they
can’t get a hold of the professional. The best thing about
it Doctor is that I enjoy being able to help others and I’m
not getting the big bucks like you either.

Doctor Harris: Well… why I should… fine then you know if
you want to you can handle all my patients for 2 weeks and
we’ll see how you handle the pressure!

Bob: Fine its fine by me I’ll take the two weeks and maybe
then you’ll realize the difference the status of friends
can make it.

Doctor Harris storms off and all the time the local news
was taping this live and the news had a field day with this
bit of news. Through the two weeks Bob had a girl talk to
him about her situation with her boyfriend who kept on
persisting to go farther than she was wanting to, so he
told her to respect herself and that he should to and if he
didn’t then he may not love her like she thought he did.
he then had a guy who was suicidal and the only way Bob
could tell that would work was to at the beginning state
that he is the guy’s friend and whatever he said would be
between them and he related his stories with the guys and
through that things began to click in the guy’s mind and he
started to settle down to non suicidal levels. The rest
were stress related cases and through it all Bob stated to
all of them before the meeting began that he was there
friend and that he was available off hours as well. He
even got a call during school and to everyone’s surprise he
took the call and stepped outside to consult the person.

The day came when Dr. Harris and Bob would meet again, but
the Doctor had something in mind for Bob he shall we say
had a plan B. Media and audience were there as they talked.

Bob: Well Dr. Harris I went through the 2 weeks and I
found it a great experience.

Dr. Harris: I’m glad you did, I had a back up plan
though. You know Bob you should have had me sign a
contract, because now I’m able to cite you for falsely
pretending to be a doctor when you don’t have the
requirements.
Bob: What!!! You can’t do that it’s not legal is it?

Dr. Harris: Oh yes my boy its legal, take him away boys.
You’ll see when the hearing happens in a week.

Bob: one-second guys, I’ll go, but Dr. Harris I have to
ask you are you that scared of me? Do I in anyway
jeopardize your career? If I did I believe you are scared
of a senior from high school who may have ways of dealing
with your patients in a better way. The doctor has now
become the student. Now how do you think that will stand
with the public?

Dr. Harris: …

Bob was put in jail, but he had his one call and he made it
to a friend who called everyone that was on the doctors
list of patients and asked them if they could show up to
the court hearing that Bob was going to. One night in his
jail cell his friend came over and talked to him

Friend: I hope you know what your doing?

Bob: I think I do, but its all up to the people that I
have been talking to for the past 2 weeks and for the
people I’ve known all through my life.

Friend: So what happens if this doesn’t work?

Bob: Well its all in this one shot, if the patients of his
are on my side then I go free, if not with the stipulation
I put on here I will do the time and make a complete
apology saying that Dr. Harris is a great doctor and that I
made a mistake.

Friend: But, you didn’t though.

Bob: I know, but I have to give an alternative if they
don’t go on my side.

Friend: Well I hope everything works out.

Bob: Thanks

The next day the hearing was in session and the local
newspaper, news and national news were there.

Judge: This hearing is now in session, Bob vs. Dr. Harris.

Bob: Your Honor I have a request that can end this hearing
quickly.

Judge: Go ahead what is it?

Bob: I had my friend call all of Dr. Harris’s patients and
asked them to come to my hearing and my request is that if
we could have them decide who has helped them more, your
Honor the reason I ask you for this is, because I would
like to confirm whether Dr. Harris really cited me with
falsely being a doctor or if he did it out of complete fear
of that I may have a better way of being a counselor.

Dr. Harris: You can’t be serious Honor, he clearly has
them bribed and he has a motive.

Judge: Just like you had a motive to accuse him of
impersonating a counselor? Are you scared Doctor Harris?
I suggest you sit down and let the court decide.

Bob: Don’t worry Dr. Harris I have something that may make
it worth your while. I as a stipulation to this request
will do my time and apologize to Dr. Harris if they do not
take my side. If they do all I ask is to go free.

Judge: Well I see no harm in that you may proceed.

Bob: Thanks Honor, I would like to bring out his patients
please.

All of Doctor Harris’s patients walk in.

Judge: Ok, everyone who is for Dr. Harris step over there,
all in favor of Bob over there.

Dr. Harris whispers in each of their ears.

Dr. Harris: Luke, 2 words insane asylum

Dr. Harris: Maria, I’ll discontinue your subscription to
your meds.

Dr. Harris: Fred, your future is in my hands.

Dr. Harris: Rumors start Janet.

Everyone goes on to Bob’s side except for Luke, Maria,
Fred, and Janet.

Bob: It’s completely up to you all, but I’ll raise the
stakes here, but if I don’t get all of them on my side I
will do my time and apologize to you Dr. Harris.

Bob: I just would like to say something to them all
individually- Luke you have a mind of your own and you are
the only one who can conquer your fears. Maria you have
the strength and I know you can get over your addiction to
the pills you never needed, you have the ability to become
the person you want to be without the pills. Fred your
future is in your hands and no one else, you alone have the
power to make your dreams come true. Janet rumors do
spread, but rumors are mostly false and can be defeated
with persistence and always being you.

Dr. Harris: You all will regret it if you take his side!

Bob: No, Dr. Harris you will, see with what you are
showing now to the public I officially have your reputation
in my hand, but I’m not going to ruin it. You Dr. Harris
in yourself have ruined your reputation.

The rest all walked over to Bob’s side.

Bob: The one thing you need to know Dr. Harris is that
money isn’t everything, the friendships you build will
forever conquer the green. As shown in this room a group
of people can do a lot when they work together, but for one
who is all about saving themselves is left to fend for
themselves and if they can’t then who will help them? Dr.
Harris I hope you can change your ways and start making
friends in and out of the office.
