You can pick your friends but you can’t pick your relatives



I won’t get into the relatives, because that can be a very emotional topic, so I’ll just stay with picking your friends. In my case my friends are my family. They almost do anything you ask and be happy to do it and I would do the same for them.

Friends are so important in how are live evolve. So it’s important to make sure you put some real effort into selecting your friends. It has been proven if you want to be successful be around successful people. I might seem obvious, but it is true.

You learn so much from people that are successful. Most successful people think out of the box. Successful people are willing to take risk, but if you analyze how they go about taking risk it one of careful study or years of experience that give them the wisdom to make, what might look like, a snap decision.

Successful people also have successful friends, which can be of help in your ventures and you can help in theirs. Are you starting to get the picture? These friends help one another. By helping and teaching one another they all build in success. Not bad and it most cases it is a Win-Win for everyone.

These types of people respect their friendships. So in most cases their word is as a contract. Honesty is a vital ingredient to making and continually building these friendships.

Like all friendship you have to work on them and by that I mean the friendship has to be one of give and take. If you only take and don’t give the friendship will not last, so it is imperative to play by the rules. If you don’t you don’t only loss a friend but most of you other successful friends.

Yes you can pick your friends, but do in a way that works for you and the friend.

Happiness with Wealth to you
