Do you think being nice is more important than talent?

[Gors]

I never said that I wanted a friend to have talent. I actually wanted a friend who is nice enough to like me and give me plenty of chances in case things go sour. I met some people who flat out end a friendship over petty reasons, so this is what I often look for in a person.

And that's why they aren't mutually exclusive. In fact, you shouldn't befriend people solely for their talents.

My friends are all talented and shit, but it's not why I befriended them in first place. It's because they make me feel important as a human being, the mutual caring and the feeling of helping each other, that's what I appreciate in a friendship.
