"You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with."

~Jim Rohn

 

This quote resonates with me, because personally, I feel keeping positive people around you influences you in positive ways.  Negative people drag you down; therefore, I limit contact with them.  I spend the most time with my wife, my two kids, our housemate, and my co-worker who sits behind me.  My co-worker is positive.  In fact many of my co-workers are very up-beat.  My Toastmaster friends are positive, too (my favorite part about going to Toastmasters is the positive people focused on improving themselves).  But the other 4 of my "top 5" have large swings with high highs and low lows.  To maintain my positivity, I do my best to pep talk them out of their lows, but if they are set on staying there, then I just have to avoid them.  I know my kids are kids, so I just need to keep working on them, but my wife and housemate are adults set in their ways.  It is a tough reality, but you only get one life and I'm not fond of wasting any more of mine on negativity.  Outside of those top 5, I'm only bring positive people into my life.  The negative ones can keep on walking.

I have two that I really like and to me, they make sense. :D

 

"Knowledge Speaks but Wisdom Listens"---Jimi Hendrix (Yes, THAT Jimi Hendrix!) I was surprised that he was the one who first said it, too. If it was said by anyone else first, I don't know who it was.

 

"Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result"---I was told this was first said by Albert Einstein. I don't know if that's so or not, though.

"The master has failed more times than the beginner has even tried."

 

(Haven't found correct attribution but I like the idea of failing as a sign of progress...)

The quote sounds more like a rock star than a scientist to me (come on, doesn't that sound like an album cover?) but what do I know.
