Truer words were never spoken
The less you associate with some people
the more your life will improve.
Any time you tolerate mediocrity in others,
it increases your mediocrity.

An importat attribute in successful
people is their impatience with negetive thing and negetive
acting people.
As you grow,your associates will change.

Some of your friends will not want you to go on.
They will want you to stay where they are.
Friend that don,t help you to climb will want you to crawl.

Your friends will stretch your vision or choke your dreams.
Those that don't increase you, will eventually decrease you.

Consider this: Never receive counsel from unproductive people.
Never discuss your problem with someone incapable of contributing to solution.

Because those who never succeed themselves are always first to tell you how.
Not everyone has a right to speak into your life.

You are certain to get the worst of the bargain when you exchange ideas with the wrong person.
Don't follow anyone who's not going anywhere.

With some people you spend an evening with others you invest it.
Be careful where you stop to inquire for directions along the road of life.

Wise is the person who fortifies his life with the right friendships.
If you run with wolves, you will learn how to howl.

But, if you associate with eagles, you will learn how to soar to great heights.
"A mirror reflects a man's face, but what he is really like is shown by the kind of friends he chooses".

The simple but true fact of life is that you become like those with whom you closely associate - for the good and the bad.

Note: Be not mistaken. This is applicable to family as well as friends.
Yes...do love, appreciate and be thankful for your family, for they will always be your family no matter what.

Just know that they are human first and though they maybe your family to you
they maybe friends to someoneelse and will fit somewhere in the criteria above.

In properity our friends knows us.
In Adversity we know our friends.

Never make someone a proirity
when you are only an option to them

If you are going to achieve excellence
in big things,you develope the habit in small matters.
Excellence is not an exception,
it is a prevalling attriude
