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

                                

                                      George Washington  

This quote is saying that it does not matter if we are alone what matters is that we are doing the right thing. It is better to be alone than to  accompany the wrong people. I have seen good people change the way they are because of the influence that others have towards them.  If they ask you to hang out with them and you already know they are going to make bad decisions it is better if you simply say you are busy and instead stay home watch a movie and do what you like. It is hard to make these decisions sometimes but in the future the consequences will be much more harder to face. Save yourself the trouble of being bad and instead reach for higher education. Studying and doing the right thing will lead you to success in life. Even if people talk bad about you or say things to you the best thing to do is to talk to someone about it. In the end those people will see how great you have succeeded because you chose the right and all the hard work and dedication will pay off in the end.
