THE COMPANY YOU KEEP

It Is Better To Be Alone, Than In The Wrong Company.

Tell me who your friends are,
and I will tell you who you really are.
If you run with wolves you will learn to howl.
If you associate with the eagles, you will learn to soar.

A mirror reflects a mans face, but what he is really like
is shown by the friends he chooses. A simple but true fact of life
is that you become like those with whom you associate, either good or bad.

The less you associate with some people, the more your life will improve.

As you grow, your associates will change.
Some of your friends may not want you to grow.
Friends that don't help you climb will want you to crawl.
Your friends will either stretch your vision or choke your dream.

CONSIDER THIS:
Listen to advice, be polite and kind, but
don't follow counsel from unproductive people.
Never discuss your problems with someone incapable
of contributing to the solution. Those who have not succeeded
themselves will often be among the the first to tell you how to succeed.

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.
You can get the worst of the bargain when you exchange ideas
with the wrong person.

A wise person fortifies his life with the right friendships.
If you let him, Jesus will be your best friend.
Read his book & get to know him.
