What if I become like those with whom I hang around?  What if you are jealous, lazy, shiftless, a taker and not too honest and soon I begin drifting in your direction?  What if you are good-hearted, motivated, successful and busy and I find myself growing more like you?  What if I can forecast my future by looking at the people with whom I associate today?
