Cartoon of two boys observing a dog. One boy says, “If he likes it that much, I think you should try it.”
Walk with the wise and become wise; associate with fools and get in trouble. Proverbs 13:20
When I was a kid, I had met some friends in our town park. One of the boys in the group claimed he had eaten dog food before and it was delicious. He encouraged all of us to join him at his house and have a feast Fido would be proud of.
All of us knew this kid liked to brag and we also knew he had a tendency to kid other kids to do outlandish things. Still, for a moment, all of us were hesitant to turn him down. Nobody wanted to look like a coward.
One person you hang around with can make all the difference in where your life will head. If you’re in school, do you hang around with people who will bring out the best in you, or the worse? If you’re in business, do you hang out with people that will inspire you to move up and succeed or do they prod you to gripe and procrastinate?
Whatever group you hang out with, you will begin to exhibit some of the same characteristics of that group. Be careful who you hang out with!
