''Associate yourslef with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation; for 'tis better to be alone than in bad comapny". -George Washington

George Washington

I admire this quote from our 1st president. George Washington clearly lived with good company. It is a really nice quote that is relevant til this day and years to come. What George Washington is trying to say is that always have a good friend by your side. It is always good to have a good friend who will ultimately make you do what's positive. It is really important to stay away from bad company because the person can turn to good to bad in just seconds. Bad company will try to mess a person up, by being their supposed friend. They might seem like a person's friend but instead they can be backstabbing and ruining their lives. I use to be around bad company, and it really sucked being alone. However I did figured out my loneliness was just a feeling, and not a fact and I found myself good company after. A good company in my opinion makes a good team. Those are two positives influences that will affect the relationship in a good way. If one friend succeeds, so will the other. Personally, I knew this story, and I would like to share it. A really good college student had his life already planned out. He had the perfect grades, the greatest knowledge, and one of the best in his music class. It was until that day he became friends with bad company. His supposed friend, one day commits a murder, and the other friend was told to hide the body in his own car. Both were arrested, and sadly he was too, and his life would had still been perfect if it wasn't for that negative influence. It is important to be with good company because, a good friend is what a person should really associate with. That good company will take a person to a great state. I strongly agree with George Washington.
