You are an average …

of the 5 people you spend the most time with. Heard the saying before? Maybe not perfect in every case, but there’s definitely some truth to the idea.

So when possible, choose your 5 people wisely.  And not just in terms of success but also values and goals.

Pick your mentors wisely.

Choose your friends wisely.

Apply to college after lots of research about the people and departments they study in.

Work hard to get into business schools (and law schools) that are a good fit for you.

Select your study groups carefully.

And pick the right significant other.

Don’t just choose half-heartedly. And don’t let the good ones get away. Otherwise, your average might change.

Just a thought.
