“He that walketh with wise men shall be wise.” It’s the wise person who chooses for his intimate friends, wise people. Character is molded either from the wicked or the wise. An individual shows his or her true colors by the crowd he or she runs with—“Birds of a feather,” you know. It says of the early believers that whenever they had a choice, “…they went to their own company.” Thus, we might say, they were known by the company they kept. And so are we.
If a man is to be good, he must, of necessity, spend time in the presence of good company. It rubs off. If you are habitually walking among flowers, you’ll pick up the scent. This is also true if one spends his time in a garbage dump! The people you are around can determine your soul’s spiritual richness, or they can play a great part in its poverty.
Therefore, don’t hang out with losers. They don’t expect to win anything in the game of life. They are failures and want all around them to be just like them. They believe it compliments their lifestyle.
If you want to gain new heights, run with mountain-climbers.
