You cannot change the people around you but you can change the people that you choose to be around. Well, I can really attest that law of association is really true. Back in my college days, in my first day of school I've been interacting different people. Since I am choosing different college from friends and classmates from high school, I need to find a new friend then. I've encountered different personalities and yes! in my first year of college I've found new friends but not that close. In my second year, there's really a changes which I belong to a group of 10 people that have different personalities yet there's something common between us. We are determine to finish our degree and to become a CPA.
As of the moment, all of us are taking different paths towards our goals. Maybe there is someone left behind but the important thing is all of us going slowly towards our destination we want to be. Associate yourself in a person who are a visionary ,dreamer , and doer .I can really assure that you will go further.
Keep smiling and be positive.
