YOU CHOOSE WHO YOU HOLD ON TO
"Though
we aren't always able to control the people that we meet, we do have a
lot of control over whom we choose to keep in our lives. Though it is
definitely difficult to choose who to make your friend and who not to,
making these decisions and picking the right friends could be as serious
as life or death. In choosing friends, be sure to look for and hang
around people who are loyal, people who encourage,... and people who are
responsible. If a person is willing to talk about someone else to you,
chances are they will speak negatively about you to others as well.
Also, if a person is willing to discourage their other friends from
chasing their dreams, chances are they will attempt to discourage you
from chasing your own as well, the time will surely come for everyone to
show you who they really are, so make sure you believe them the first
time."
