The Kind Of Friends You Keep
Be rest assured that you'll be as good as the quality of people you have around you. If these people are better than you, they'll pull you up with them. And if they're bad, they'll pull you down with them. Hence, you need to be very selective.
There are many cases where the kind of friends you keep can influence your life for the best. Information is power in these times, and the quality of information that you get, from good friends sometimes is priceless. Your life can literally be transformed.
Destructive friends can ruin your life, if you're not careful. They can lead you into indulgence in things that will distract your focus from success. They may expose you to pleasures that will consume your finances. And they tend to always take something from you.
When you're with friends who are better than you, you'll tend to always get something of value from them - which is better for you. But the opposite is true for friends you're better than - all they want is to take something of value from you.
Thus, keeping good friends who have high quality and value, tends to invariably raise your standard of living. And when you hang out with people who are lost and don't want to help themselves - then there's high tendency they'll pull you down. Thus, avoid bad friends by all means.
Friends are a strong force in our lives, and we can never outrun that fact. Friends are people we find confidence in and listen to their advice, so this means if they happen to be great minds, we will be getting great minded advice from them , and if it is the other way round too, it will also be expected to be a less intelligent advice or conversation.
