WHO IS YOUR FRIEND?

Who is your friend?
by Emeka Anyaogu
“Show me your friend and I will tell you who you are”. The choice of your close friends or associates is one of the most important decision to be made in life. What you are today and what you are going to be in the near future is determined by the people you associate with and the kind of books you read. You are likely to become like those you closely associate with.
Do you know that a day away from the wrong association will improve your life. Little wonder why the book of psalm started with appreciating the man who does not keep bad company. The book of proverbs also added that: “putting confidence in an unreliable man is like chewing with a sore tooth, or trying to run on a broken foot.
Your best friends should be those who bring out the best in you. You are better not worse having been with them. Sometimes a single conversation with the right person can be more valuable than many years of study.
Take a little inventory of your friends and know how each has impacted your life; this will enable you to separate your true friends from your ‘enemy friends’.
