People And The Company They Keep

Strong minds discuss ideas, Average minds discuss events, & Weak minds discuss people. Or so said Socrates. It is true. And not just that. If you live with people of strong minds, you will become one. If you leave with people of weak minds, you will become one. The company you keep will influence you, unless you are a strong influence on others.

Even the way people speak are different. If you speak to a royal person, you will know it just by the language he uses. Similarly, if you speak to some laborer, you will know it by the language. If you are staying with people who are active, you too will become active in their presence. You can judge for yourself if you see how your teen years affect you. If you fall in good company, you will just move with your friend in good colleges or for great career. But instead, a bad company will earn you bad habits; habits you may not be proud of. May be your performance will come down. It may not be entirely due to you. But here your company plays an influence on you.

Even the great author Napolean Hill has dedicated quite some time in discussing the influence of good company on your mind and your actions. Try to make good companies and soon you will see that your success will be on different level altogether.
