Having a diverse range of friends and acquaintances is very important to ensure that you remain an open-minded and interesting individual but it is even more important that you limit the people that are in your inner circle...
These are the people who rub off on you:
The people you spend the majority of your time with, the people whose opinions you trust, the people with whom you exchange views on life.
These are the people whose english accents you start picking up, the people whose facial expressions you start unconsciously imitating, the people whose favourite words and phrases you start playing around with.
These are the people who ultimately have an influence on you...whether you realise it, or admit or not.
These people are your "environment" and you hve to be sure that the environment is conducive to the achievement of your goals.
What's the use of spending time with people who smoke if you want to stop smoking?
If you are suffering from depression you are not doing yourself a favour by hanging out with people that are just downright negative.
If you are looking to doing something with your life, there's no use hanging out with people that "chill" for a living.
Your inner circle plays a very important role in your attainment of success (in whatever way you define it) and therefore it's important that we learn to rather love some people from a distance if they are not rubbing off the right things on you.
But most importantly, remember that you are a prt of someone else's "inner circle" therefore take a look at the man or woman in the mirror and be honest with yourself... If you were someone else, would you elect to have yourself as part of your "inner circle" or are you just one to be loved from a distance.
The friends you have are your choice, and they will definitely influence the choices you make...CHOOSE right!!!
