“Associate yourself with med of good quality if you esteem your own reputation; for’ tis better to be alone than in bad company.”

-George Washington

What this quote is saying to to always hang out with people who are good, and are not doing anything bad. You should have friends that choose the right, and not the wrong. For example, if your so called “friend” wants to do something that you know is not correct, then you should not do it. What if they are offering you drugs? This is why it is important that you know who your real friends are. If they were your real friends, then they would not be pressuring you to do something that you do not want to do. On the other hand, if your friend wants to do the correct thing, and do homework or study, then you should because that is choosing the right. Those who encourage you do always do what is right are you real friends. This is why it is important that you spend time with those who are of good quality. If you just have people in your life that want to do many bad things, and choose the wrong, then do not hang out with them. It is better to be alone, then to have bad company that just wants you to choose the wrong. It is very important that everyone knows that just because you do not want to do certain things, that that does not make you anything less then them. To add on, you can always find better company, than “friends” who do not want the best for you. This is why i think that this quote is very important. You should always keep it in mind, just incase there is ever bad company around you, and you do not know what to do. This is why you should always associate with ctr people, and not ctw.
