To associate with a crowd of undetermined and unsuccessful people will assuredly bring you to the same fate, undetermined and unsuccessful.

To associate with a crowd of determined and successful people will then bring you a similar fate, one that is determined and successful.

Be cautious with whom you most closely associate. Your choices are very important in reaching the level of progress and success you fully engage with to attain.

Be aware that you also have an effect on the crowd surrounding you. Be the one that other winners will want to associate with and together each will be better than they could possibly be on their own. By association we can work to heighten the probability of our success as we learn together.

“You can predict a person’s failure and divine bank balance if you know two things: the book he reads, the people he associates with.” — Earl Nightingale —
