You are known by the company you keep

It is a very old adage that a man is known by the company he keeps. It simply means that the reputation of a person depends upon his social circle.

When a man has good company, he becomes a better person. If a man spends most of his time with positive and successful people, he will get motivated and want to succeed in life.

On the other hand, if he spends time with critical and lazy people, he will constantly criticize other people instead of focusing on improving his life. Therefore, company matters a lot.

A company also affects the image of a person. If you have bad company, people will start avoiding you. For example, if you spend a lot of time with the goons of your neighborhood, people in your locality will stop talking to you.

On the other hand, if you mix with influential people such as businessmen, writers or artists, people will love to get associated with you. When you have good company, people around you will love to be your friend.

Therefore, choose your company wisely. Be around people who encourages you, motivates you and inspires you. Be around the dreamers and doers because they can make you a better person. It is absolutely true that you are known by the company you keep.
