i hear alot of people saying this that your friends are the reflection of yourself. do you believe in this or you find your friends the opposite of who you are? plase share your thoughts.

i believe that it does have some depiction of you are, for example most of the time someone who is a smoker ( large smoker) hangs with thsoe who also are heavy smokers. I am not saying this is always the case, but the saying does have teh general brush of the idea.

and just like when you lose your job but you really coudl care less and you go to the unemployment office and just sit down instead of bugging the clerk until you get what you came for? you can't get anything in this world unless you try for it.

I definitely think that your friends reflect back on you, they aren't an exact reflection, but people seem to be narcissistic and like people who are similar to them, it's easy to get along with shared interests.

Well, what i can say in this saying is that... when you are with bad company, the people's impression with you is that you are also doing what your friends are doing. Even if you are not, people won't believe you if you are going with those who are doing bad. That is why, get away from bad company because sooner or later you will be influenced of what they did. That is why.. they created this verses... tell who your friends are and i will tell yo who you are. People with band influence should be shun...

There are a lot of famous sayings that address this issue. For instance, there is the one that says 'You are known by the company you keep'. This means that if you hang around with people who have a certain attitude about something it will be assumed that your attitude is the same even if it is not. So if you do not want to be labeled with that attitude you should not hang around with the people that share it.
Another good one is, 'you can't soar with eagles when you roost with turkeys'. This one is referring to your ambitions. If you are striving to accomplish some goal you should choose friends that are also trying to improve their lives or that are already successful. You should not hang around those who have given up on making anything of themselves.
