The company of people who surrounds you all the while greatly influences and inspires your way of life,in many ways.The association of people,we seek to smoothly sail through our lives through their contacts and interactions,ought to have the power to enable us perform better,stimulate positive thinking,and achieve success in the areas of our interests.Do we really find ourselves in "good company",in the ideal sense? How do you chose a "good company"?

Through college and work, we have met different people, from all walks of life. Some of them are mere acquaintances, some are those whom we have to see and interact with each day, like our colleagues customers. And those people, whose company we seek willingly, are usually those who influence our thinking and attitudes. I prefer people who are independent and positive, who will look for solutions when problems hit; open to criticisms and other opinions, and take the initiative to get things done. The funny thing, though, they may not share the same hobbies or interests that I do during my off-hours.

i have many friends that i have had for years & years. most of them have proved thenselves to be good friends over & over. i think it's hard to make new friends nowadays. i thought i had alot more than i do. when i quit work due to bad health i found out alot of them didn't need me anymore since i couldn't fix their hair anymore. u find out who your friends are the hard way sometime.

Many thanks for responding and sharing your experiences of having a company of good friends whome you give sincere credit and appreciation.It is better to stay with a limited circle of good and matching company than having too many fair weathered friends who stay with you as long as you remain fit to suit their interests.Being a new friend of yours,I am confident of adding new values and energy to your existing company.Wish you best of health and happiness!!

Choosing good company requires one to make mistakes and let toxic people in our lives. Once we find that some people are toxic we have to ease them out. I love people who are positive and are there for me when needed. Some people come across as people who are positive, a good friend, trusting, dependable. We as humans are sometimes easily fooled. I've made a choice to keep people in my life that are good people. It's a new path for me and in time I know I won't have to deal with "Bad company" any longer. We all need to be happy and not worry about the rotten people out there. We need to be strong and stand up for what we want in our lives. Being around positive people just makes my day so much better.
