WISE PEOPLE FOLLOW WISE PEOPLE!

in #esteem6 years ago (edited)

Good morning my fellow Steemians and friends of the blockchain, I would like to talk about something very important to us all,

Do you one of the reasons you are at the stage you are now us because of the types of friends you follow. Really, our friends affect everything we do.

A classic example of that fact
Here is a very good example of the topic mentioned above. You must choose your friends wisely because you whole life depend on it.

If your friends cannot change you, you change your friends. ~Jim Rohn

I really like that quote, which says: if your friends cannot change you, you change your friends.

For instance, when I was in secondary school, there was a boy who has repeated a class. He was supposed to be with his fellows or friends in the senior class, but he was with his juniors in his previous class since he was repeating. But why was he repeating in the first place, his companion of friends! I noticed that almost all his friends were like him, they were repeating, too.

You see, this guy surrounded himself with "falling" friends.

If you round yourself with failures, you will be a failure as well.

This is why you must choose your friends wisely. So, that guy failed because of his friends.

Transforming Point
After some time, our guy realized that the people he followed were no good: they were foolish. So, he changed his friends.

He started following those at the top of the class. He started to follow those who took first. And guess the implication of that: he began to see improvement in his academic life

He started studying with his friends, he tried competing with his friends, and before long, he was just like his friends: am outstanding scholar!

What happened to him? Well, let me quickly mention what didn't happen:

  • He didn't get a new brain: there was not brain transplant done for this fellow yet he succeeded because he changed the people with which he associated.
  • He did not go for spiritual powers to succeed: it had nothing to do with spiritual powers. He simply changed his friends.
  • He did not get a better teacher: someone might have blamed his class teacher, but that wasn't his major problem.

His problem were his friends, and he changed them. Let me quickly ask you: Who are your friends? They, to a large extent, would determine your destiny!

You must choose your friends wisely, why?
Simply this: wise people follow wise friends!

Thank you!

@murphylee Yes! you are damn true. What do you think having a friend who is very good in something I am not interested in, what should I do now?

You can't make it in life on your own, you need a good team in form of "wise" friends! You really need good friends!

I'm glad you replied to my comment. It means a lot to me.
Thanks @murphylee

Show me your friends, and I will tell you who you are. Peer influence in negative way. We have to be careful of who we work with, and never allow to be impact in negative way.
