Guest Post: How To Choose a Friend

There is a popular saying that "show me your friends and I will know who you really are." This is not just a parlance, it is a given. The kind of people you associate with goes a long way in determining who you become.

No wonder they say, 'birds of a feather flock together'. Dogs do not associate with lions, because they consider lions as wicked and greedy. I have never seen a goat making friends with pigs, they are on different missions.

Your choice of people to associate with both personally and business wise is one of the most important choices you make. If you associate with turkeys, you will never fly like the eagles.

Surrounding yourself with people on same mission with you, will not only help you to reach your goal, it will also enhance your speed in attaining such goal. Imagine an upcoming artiste making friends with the likes of 2Face, Psquare, D'banj, Olamide and Wizkid; a young businessman who keeps friends such as Dangote, Otedola, Pat Utomi, and Wale Adenuga; or an aspiring politician who has Tinubu, Obasanjo, Atiku and Peter Obi as friends.

Let me quickly state that, you need not to know all the top people in your career before you make friends. What I am saying is that look for people whose mindset and thoughts are in line with yours. Read this post on Your Mindset is Everything for clearer understanding.

So, what are you still waiting for?! Start searching for friends who can help you in the pursuit of your aspirations. Pick the good things from them and avoid what you consider immoral.
