They say that if we want to be successful, we need to be with people who are achievers. Befriend them and make a genuine connection. In a way, they may encourage and challenge us, leave our comfort zones. This will make us better and even surpass their achievements. I have several friends who are already in that level of their career. As for me, I'm working in progress, I believe i will get there in time, with my chosen career. Any thoughts? can you relate? Please share. Thanks.

I believe so. If you hang out with those good influence, you also feel to be like them. If you had done the opposite, it will be opposite too. So, good influence would give your positive influence, and also give you a chance of challenge to surpass them in every area. I also want to be hung out with those kind of people, but it is hard for me to find them.

THis advise that 'they' have given is good. I think that up and positive people can only help you stay up. And people who are achieving their goals are good to have as friends. Just like kids need good role models so do we. A work in progress is progressing. Stay in the loop, never give up.

I think maybe it could help being around successful people,but then again I think you are right,they may end up being your competetion.
This can go with any aspect in life,work,marriage,education.I have had people before befriend me because they want my boyfriend or job.Then all of the sudden they aren't my friend anymore.
.
In school I remember being a friend,"all of the sudden" with a person I was unlikeley to be friends with.She befriended me because I was good in history class and she was too busy out becoming "miss popular" instead of studying.After I had helped her with her homework and she passed the test then she would not speak to me anymore.
Another time I had a "so called" friend that was living with her boyfriend and she asked me to babysit "her" son and "come on" to her boyfriend while she was out cheating on him.I said that I would babysit,but not come on to her boyfriend.She agreed.
It turned out that he knew what was going on and he admired that I stood up to her and showed her my morals.They broke up and he and I started liking each other.Then the guy that she was cheating with dumped her and she came around acting like I had stole her boyfriend.But,he knew that was not true.
