A brief conversational transcript from a YouTube video advising that people become like the company they keep ("we are the average of the five people"), so one should intentionally surround oneself with positive, like-minded, and aspirational people — and curate words, books, and media — because those influences will 'lift you up.' The speakers repeat and reinforce this core advice.
You know, the famous quote, you know, we are the average of the five people that we're surrounded by or that we spend the most time with. Find and surround yourself with the people who are doing what you want to do. If you're around average people, you're going.
To gravitate towards that.
If you're around negative people, you're going.
To gravitate towards that.
And so you really have to work at this.
You have to surround yourself with the right people in the right words, in the right books, in the right media. Get around those people because they will.
Lift you up.
And help you through the hard times, and they will make your path straighter.
