In this essay, I will discuss the changes occurred with my friend whom I have known for over three years. Although we live in the same city, we rarely meet, but often talk on the phone. She runs a small business that provides printing products for various organizations.
My friend was an extremely ambitious and hard-working person; she really liked her job, giving it a lot of time and energy, however, never becoming tired. She was also attentive and kind to other people and communicated with many different acquaintances and friends, often spending time with them.
However, she did not start the business alone, but with a partner who always seemed unreliable. They met in college, after which he invited the friend to open their own small printing house. They had been working together for several years, and during this period he spent little time at work, performed tasks poorly, constantly demanded money.
Over time, he began to offer their clients to work directly with him, without telling his partner. Moreover, he decided to remove her from the company and run it on his own, which eventually happened. She left and started her own business, working with some of the old customers. This situation highly influenced her, turning her from an open and kind person to an anxious one.
Since then, she has been suspicious of all people, viewing them as enemies who seek to harm her. Every time we meet, my friend is sad and depressed, saying that she does not want to continue work anymore. She also fears some possible harm from her partner, which has made her anxious.
She often cries when we talk on the phone; she is also rarely distracted by something good and does not go anywhere to entertain. Thus, this failure made her a different person who sees all people as enemies. Perhaps she will overcome this state in the future, which will make her less sensitive and more rational in doing business.
