"He that walketh with wise men shall be wise; but a companion of fools shall be destroyed"-Proverbs 13:20

What this means to me is that if you choose to hang around wise people you will learn from them. If you choose to be with bad influences then you will be influenced by them. They will bring you down a bad path. Although if you choose the right path then you will be influenced by good people and be happy and successful. If you choose to hang around a mentor like people then you will be happy and successful. If you choose not to and hang around bad people then you will be miserable and get into trouble. Bad influences tend to get into a lot of trouble and if you choose to be with them then you will go down the wrong path and also get in trouble. If you choose to hang out with good smart people then you will learn from them and get into good habits. They can help you go down a happy road and lead you to great places.
