A person is known by the company he/she keeps and ultimately becomes what his/her long-term companions have been in characteristics and conduct. Did you not notice how a child's handwriting becomes and remains for life like that his/her primary school teacher.
Long-term companions like parents, siblings, teachers, friends, spouse, and others in the company make the person like themselves through guidance, inducements, inspirations, etc.
So, my friends, always be choosy about the company you keep.

I agree with you rambansal. My parents can see my character with the friends that i keep. They love my friends and just the same, my friends treat my parents as if they were their parents also. We really have to be selective with our friends.

Yes, Birds of same feathers flock together, Tell me who your friends are and I would tell you who you are. Always always true, these quotes our parents would always say that is why they are so concerned about us, and who we hand out with.
Even at work, I believe since we are spending most of our time at work, we'd become very much like them.. we'd be having the same preferences, and we won't notice it much that we are transformed into a new person.. :D he he

I do agree with that to a certain extent. I think that there are going to be a lot of times where if you surround yourself with people with unsavory behaviors, eventually some of their bad habits will rub off on you. Granted, one must wonder if that might be a bad choice you might have made anyway or if they just opened the door to it.
Still it is rather a good idea to surround yourself around trustworthy and honest people. People who will not flake out on you when you need any degree of support. There are just times where you are going to stumble and obviously you will be a better person on the rebound if you surround yourself with the wrong people. If you do not, the fall will be grisly and awful.

Always the lotus is found in a muddy water,Always a great person is born in an ordinary family.I dont say that the people around us can give any change with what we are from inside.You should see each one in his or her own way ,not to see others and think of some one else with them.
Yes i agree with this one as there will be a lot of impression or others views and strengths on this person but he stays what he is for ever frm inside.

Very true. I can relate myself to this discussion as I can imagine what I was during my younger age with friends at school, college and then at my place or work. I am happy to be one good person now and have good true friends around.
