In the dance of life, choose your partners well,
Be smart who you pick,
Be discerning,
Choose your company, let wisdom steer.
Choose wisely, where you stand.
Pick your buddies, keep your light.
Don’t wander where fools parade.
With smart folks, your journey’s sound,
Stay with them, on solid ground.
Don’t hang out with idiots!
Don’t be the idiot!
Proverbs 13:20
He who walks with wise men will be wise,
But the companion of fools will be destroyed.
– Pope
Gone way beyond that
The most frequent form of encouragement I get is "Don't worry, don't stop and don't be afraid, You'll be big" I FEAR NOTHING! And, I'm not trying to be BIG I'm going to be whatever I'm meant to be because I'm doing what I'm meant to be doing. - Pope
