"Other people's attitudes and troubles can be contagious. Don't sabotage yourself by unwittingly adopting negative, unproductive attitudes through your associations with others. The key is to keep company only with people who uplift you, whose presence calls forth your best. Let whatever appears to be the best, be to you an unbreakable law."
