We have always heard-
" A man is known by the company he keeps".
This is told by our ancestors for a long time to keep good company and surround ourselves with persons who can help us improve and inspire to grow as a person.
A person if stays or befriends people who have a bad influence can become like them slowly if not immediately. You will not know when you will become like them or their bad habits become yours.
So let's gave the company of persons who help in the mutual development of both.
1. The Inspired ones-
These people are inspired by their idols and also inspire others to do good deeds. They are self-driven and are enthusiastic to do good work. They behave ethically good and are morally correct.
Eg. Someone might be inspired by a social worker or a great leader.
2. The motivated-
These people are motivated by a cause and are driven by a cause. This cause motivates them to achieve the goal and work tirelessly towards it.
3. The open-minded-
They are ready to listen to you and hear you from the heart. They are generally good listeners. They take appreciation and criticism with a smile and take efforts to correct themselves.
They are free going and not rigid with their behaviour. It's easy to be with them and learn from them to take criticism with a spirit.
4. The passionate-
They are driven by the idea of their passion and work religiously towards the thing they are passionate about. They inspire us to be self-driven and self-motivated. The person can be passionate about acting, singing, cooking or anything.
5.The grateful-
They are thankful for the things they have in life and appreciate it. They appreciate little efforts done by others for them and are always ready to help others in return. They are satisfied with things but that doesn't mean they do not work to achieve great heights.
If we surround and befriend these type of people we can feel the changes in our life, thoughts and behaviour. We tend to change with the company we keep hence the good company will also make us good.
We should not just search for people with these qualities but try and inculcate these in some quantities within us.
