Benjamin Franklin said it like this… “He that lieth down with Dogs, shall rise up with Fleas.”<\/p>\n

Motivational speaker Jim Rohn famously said that “we are the average of the five people we spend the most time with.”<\/p>\n

And Napoleon Hill said it with this explanation….<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t want your life to be \u201cmessed up,\u201d don\u2019t fool around with those who have messed up theirs.<\/p>\n

It is a peculiarity of human relationships that it is virtually impossible for one individual to have a lasting positive influence upon members of a group of negative thinkers.<\/p>\n

Usually, it works the other way.<\/p>\n

You cannot maintain a positive, productive attitude if you spend all your time with negative people.<\/p>\n

Those who have wrecked their own lives (and usually blame their misfortune on others) are not the kind of people who will help you achieve success in your own life.<\/p>\n

Choose your friends and associates carefully, and refrain from complaints about your job, your company, or any individual.<\/p>\n

Spend your time with positive, ambitious people who have a plan for their lives. You will find that their optimism is infectious.<\/p>\n

All three of these people said the same thing but in different words.<\/p>\n

Pick your friends and associates carefully as the association with them will very likely predict your future in terms of wealth, health, accomplishments and happiness.<\/p>\n

Birds of a feather truly do flock together. So pick wisely!<\/p>\n
