Why You Should Carefully Choose Your Friends

Who we talk to, play with, do business with, eat with, or share with. I will collectively refer to these as friends. Friends have a direct or indirect effect in our personality. There is some truth to the saying, Tell me who your friends are, and I will tell you who you are.

I believe that good friends are friends in success. I don't believe in a measure used that when a friend drinks with you during troubled times that he passes the true friend test. Evaluate closely what you and your friends right now do. Evaluate what you do with these people together. That's what you'll be doing 5 to 10 years from now.

In years passed, I noticed that I became more and more like the people I hang out and spoke with. Luckily for me, these are very kind, family-oriented, intelligent people.

We are all subject to being influenced, and there's nothing much we can do about it for as long as we live. We have very little power over other people's influences. So choose your friends carefully, as that's something you have better control of.
